3D Studio Max
Tracking?
-
31 Mar 2006Hi all,
I'm new here, this is my first post.
I need some help on tracking. I've used boujou, syntheyes, and even maya for tracking. but i know Max is capable of doing anything!
I want to use it!
Can anyone write (or post a link to) a great 3dsMax tracking tutorial?
I'm excited for another challenge to start - they look really fun!
thanks in advance! -

31 Mar 2006Ooooooh ok. I misread your post
Max tracking has 3 steps:
1) Do a camera match on your scene so that your viewport perspective matches your camera perspective
2) Setup tracking markers to track data from video and translate their position to tracking helpers youve set up in your viewport
3) Pray
Haha...seriously though.......once youve done the first 2 steps it can take a loooot of tweaking to get a solid track. Usually, 6 markers are the recommended amount but in more complex scenes I've gotten up to 30 or 40.
I'd REALLY recommend doing the rhino-tabletop-track that comes with 3dsmax...it's the only tutorial for tracking I've ever done and it taught me all I needed to know

dami 62 posts03 Apr 2006search for voodoo camera tracker on google.
lots of help.i promise -
04 Apr 2006wow, that voodoo tracker looks great! and free! if it works, i'll be singing their praises to every Max user I know! i'll download this week and give it a run soon...
and I know the Max tracker has potential - tyson proves it every time he pushes the render button! i think it's just beyond me. or maybe i'm just jaded after watching Maya track things without having to set up track points and measurements.
when tyson teaches his first seminar called "Bending 3ds Max to Your Will", i'll be in the front row. -
04 Apr 2006does that vodoo thing works with max?
if it does, do you just import it? -
04 Apr 2006yeah, it works with Max. it exports a .ms file, which you just run in Maxscript. this is how most automated 3d trackers work.
