Re: compositing help/virtual sets/camera tracking 2005-05-14 - By xanderc1

elsignet,
Carl understands exactly what I'm looking for. I played with backdrop
in scene property tray and that seems to be Eovia's solution for
compositing. It's not as efficient as C4D's implementation, but it
may just work.
Now the issue is camera tracking in the video footage. I will try to
export the camera data as an fbx or bvh file and dink with that as a
possible solution. However, another solution is to keyframe the
video's camera movement, rendering every couple of frames to ensure
continuity with the backdrop. Not efficent, but doable, I guess.
How do I submit feature requests to Eovia? or are there any software
developers who can write a plug-in for the camera (.cbr)?
