Camera tracking / workflow question with 3DS Max....

Hi guys,
I have a general question about workflow using After Effects and 3DS Max....
Scenerio:
I have a virtual news set in 3DS Max to composite in the greenscreen footage. The footage has everything needed for tracking - markers and so on. After tracking the footage, I want to use the tracking from the footage, plus incorporate some camera moves from 3DS Max when the talent is 'behind the news desk'. Kinda like doing an 'orbital dolly' move to pan across the set. In After Effects, how would I merge the existing camera tracking from the original footage and then merge the panning camera moves from 3DS Max?
Thanks.
Jason

You will need a 3D track/ matchmove. Once you have, you should not ahve any problems importing teh result in both programs. SynthEyes etc. support a ton of export formats. For everything else a simple 3D export from MAX using relevant scripts/ plug-ins should suffice or you simply could use your keyed footage as a texture in MAX.

Director 11.5 with 3DS Max 2010

I haven't written a line of Lingo since version 6 of director, however, I am currently working a project that requires the use of the 3D capabilities director has that Flash just isn't powerful enough to handle. I need help with my shockwave file and I have found very little relative documentation on this, except for some based on older versions of Director. I import my scene into Direct just fine...all textures and lighting is intact...perfect. I am able to connect lingo to models in the scene, however I am not able to connect to and attach lights and cameras already in the scene to an object (using addChild)...I can create and attach new cameras and lights just fine, but when I try to reference an existing camera or light created in 3ds max and imported with the 3D scene the camera or light will not respond...any ideas? Hints? I've been following the "Dean's Tutorial" however it seems maybe 11.5 has something I am missing? The Director help files are not too useful...no examples...any help is much appreciated

Ah., i was able to get this to work, but I had to reference lights and camera by number and not by name
what I was using:
p3Dmember = sprite(me.spriteNum).member
pCharacter = p3Dmember.model("controlObj")
myLightr = p3Dmember.light("light01")
pCharacter.addChild(myLight,#preserveWorld)
What actually works:
p3Dmember = sprite(me.spriteNum).member
pCharacter = p3Dmember.model("controlObj")
myLightr = p3Dmember.light[1]
pCharacter.addChild(myLight,#preserveWorld)
So we cannot reference scene lights and cameras by name if they are preexisting? However, we can reference models in the scene by name? Any reasoning to this?

RED Workflow questions with Mac Pro (including third party plugins)

Hello all,
I’ve been searching many forums for the better part of a day trying to get some workflow questions sorted. I’m experiencing (very) slow export times, and mediocre playback for a machine that should be screaming fast.
Here is what I’m working with:
2014 Mac Pro
-2.7 GHz 12-core intel xeon E5
-64GB Ram
-Dual AMD FirePro D700 6GB
-1TB Flash Storage
Editing all footage off 96TB Raid 6 mini-sas server (getting about 1100mbs read/write rate according to AJA system test) which is faster than any Thunderbolt/TB2 drive array I have.
Media I work with is footage from the RED Epic (normally 5K) as well as DSLR footage from the 5d.
Software:
-PrPro CC 2014 (8.1)
-Magic Bullet Looks 2.5.2
My question(s) pertains to RED post-pro workflow in combination with third party plug-ins and the different approaches to make it more efficient.
Right now, majority of the clients need a 1080p HD master, and they are generally anywhere from 2-8 minutes (usually). So my sequence settings are as follows:
Video:
Editing Mode: RED Cinema
Size: 1920 x 1080
Audio: 48Hz
Video Previews
Preview File Format: I-Frame Only MPEG
Codec: MPEG I-Frame
1920x1080
Maximum Bit Depth unchecked
Maximum Render Quality unchecked
Composite in Linear Color checked
Export Settings
H.264
1920x1080
VBR 1 pass
Target Bitrate 12mbs
Max bitrate 12mbs
Maximum render quality/depth/previews unchecked
Issues I have:
-Playback is fine at 1/2 or even full, but once effects (especially magic bullet looks) start to go on the clips, it’s very choppy and has difficult playback at 1/4
-Export times (especially with magic bullet looks) will take the better part of 1-4 hours for a video that is 3-6 minutes long. This doesn’t seem like it should be the case for a maxed out MacPro
So my questions are:
Do these seem like the right sequence/export settings for mastering at 1080p? If not, what would you suggest?
Would using offline editing help at all?
Do you place your effects on adjustment layers?
Is there anyway to improve export settings when using an array of filters?
Have you stopped using third party plugins for their inefficiency in unreliability and switched to more integrated applications like SpeedGrade?
Is there any other tweaks that you would suggest for RED workflow with PrPro?
Should I consider switching to FCPX or (besides the iMovie-likeness) does it carry problems of its own?

The biggest issue is that most people have is that updating OS X causes certain folders to be set to Read Only. See this blog post: Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later).

It's a nice base system. How about an additional speedy disk for media cache files. You also did not mention which version of OS X you are running.

The Red Giant website does not indicate that this software is yet updated to work with Premiere Pro CC 2014.1 (8.1). Proceed with caution here.

I would not use this plug-in until you get the OK from the manufacturer.

Again, I suspect your plug-in.
Keep in mind that exports are largely CPU based but you can make sure that GPU acceleration is enabled for AME at the bottom of the Queue panel.

It's OK.
thisisironclad wrote:

No need when you should be able to edit natively. Relinking might also be an issue.
thisisironclad wrote:

That's one way you can do it with the benefit of being more organized.
thisisironclad wrote:

I do. Of course, that's a preference.
thisisironclad wrote:

Try the following:
Sign out from Creative Cloud, restart Premiere Pro, then sign in
Update any GPU drivers
Trash preferences
Ensure Adobe preference files are set to read/write(Hopefully you checked this out already)
Delete media cache
Remove plug-ins
If you have AMD GPUs, make sure CUDA is not installed
Repair permissions
Disconnect any third party hardware
If you have a CUDA GPU, ensure that the Mercury Playback Engine is set to CUDA, not OpenCLYou have AMD GPUs.
Disable App Nap
Reboot

I really shouldn't answer that question.
Hope this helps.

Adobe Camera Raw workflow question #2901

Now that I have my new digital camera-dedicated rig up and running I have been using ACR and CS2 to process my backlog of Canon 30D CR2 files. I am trying to get them ready for posting on the internet. Currently I am using ACR only to tweak Exposure and White Balance, then I move the file in 16 bits/AdobeRGB to CS2 where I do noise reduction, levels, curves adjustment, saturation then resize, sharpening then convert to an 8 bit, sRGB Jpg.
I have adopted this workflow because it was similar to the one I used when my old creakin' PC required me to use DPP to do my RAW conversion (and I subsequently did PP in CS with a 16 bit TIFF)
But I notice ACR has many choices and options such as contrast, shadows, saturation, sharpness, noise reduction controls that one can perform prior to RAW conversion. I have read in the past theoretical comments that adjustments are best made to a file during RAW conversion rather than while as a jpg. Does the same apply to a 16 BiT TIFF? In the workflow above, am I working on a TIFF?
I am wondering if I am better off to make all of the adjustments in ACR window instead of the more lengthy process in CS2. Are there any advantages to doing these adjustments prior to RAW conversion? Or is it better to do PP on 16 bit files using layers?
What are the relative merits of processing the file in either ACR window or as an 16 bit file in CS2?
If it matters, I work on a PC and prefer to PP each file separately rather than in batches. But I DO use batch runs in CS2 to save time using Actions with around 10 file batches to do noise reduction and resize/convert to sRGB/save as.
As always, thanks for the time you take to help me out!!

>"What does Pixelgenius PhotoKit Sharpener do that I can't do, perhaps with more trouble, by applying what I've read in his book? And would I have a problem trying to use it with CS3? "
I have a few observations and perhaps Jeff can comment. With images taken with a digital camera at high ISO, noise reduction may be necessary in the capture phase of sharpening. PhotoKit offers the sharpen and smooth option for this purpose. One can exert some control over the smoothing process by changing the opacity of the smoothing layer and the blend if sliders.
In his sharpening book Bruce uses Photoshop's reduce noise and despeckle filters to reduce noise (sometimes using the despeckle filter multiple times), but I don't know what filter is used in the PhotoKit smoothing operation or what parameters are used for the reduce noise filter if it is used.
If you use Bruce's book and the "roll your own" approach, you have more control over the noise reduction process and also the possibility of using a third party NR product such as the Noise Ninja plugin. Furthermore, just as an edge mask is used to restrict the sharpening to the edges, a surface mask may be used with NR to keep the smoothing away from the edges. The surface mask may be derived by inverting the edge mask used for sharpening, but Bruce says that some tweaking may give improved results.
An alternative would be to use the third party NR prior to using PK sharpener. However, you would still need to make a surface mask for optimum results, but I doubt that many users take the trouble of doing this.
In my own work with the Nikon D200 (which has rather high noise at high ISO), I find that I often get unacceptable noise and artifacts with PK Sharpener when used with high ISO images.
Also, many landscape photographers mask off areas of clear blue sky and foliage that do not need sharpening, thereby avoiding accentuation of noise secondary to sharpening in these areas.
>Bruce gave you the recipies...he didn't give you the exact numbers to use. So, you'll have to do what he and I did...trial and error, to arrive at optimum numbers...
For output sharpening, the PK defaults seem to work quite well and the trial and effort of rolling your own is usually not worthwhile, IMHO.

Workflow questions with AVCHD footage

I copied the entire content of a SDHC card that was shot with an AVCHD camera to a folder on my desktop. I just used the Media Browser in CS6 to double click on the files to view them. I'm coming from Final Cut Pro where I had to convert all of these files to Pro Res 422 before being able to edit them.
1. Do I just leave the content of this folder as is? Do I need to do anything to the files before editing them? So if I start editing clips from this card after opening them in the Media Browser, and assemble clips in my Timeline and then export, is that all I need to do?
2. If so, to number 1, then after every shoot I would just copy the entire content of a card to a folder on my hard drive and just leave it there until I'm readt to edit it, and after I edit it the folder structure and contents of the card remain the same?
Thanks.

Jim Simon wrote:
With most cameras, material shot on different occasions (possibly days) will each be in a separate folder, within the main folder structure.
With AVCHD, it doesn't work that way. It all goes into the same fodler regardless of when it was shot.
If you shoot something you don't need, the best option in general is to just leave it there anyway.
For organizing different projects, always format the card in the camera before a new shoot. Or use a different card. In other words, don't mix projects on the same card.
Sorry Jim, I hate to take issue with you, but that is not the case with my Canon AVCHD camera. It behaves just as I described in my post. The AVCHD video *.mts files, together with matching *.cpi files are contained within a folder for the day's date inside a TVD_ACHD folder.

3ds MAX 8 and Director MX 2004

need help with lingo code relating to this. I am creating a
w3d file of a level for use in a 3d game, and when I go to code the
other elements (the character and enemies), it comes up with a
truckload of errors. i had created a level as a test ( it was a w3d
file created in director), and it worked, but when i went to import
the new w3d file, the above problem happened. the character model
created in director wont fly around, as its a plane, and the new
level design doesn't like being used, even when i change the code.
if someone could help urgently, many thanks would be bestowed. if
you need the code, i will create a txt file and send it to
you

hi I need some help! I have made a toy car with 3ds max and
imported it to director.
What i what to do is when I press the letter "a "on the
keyboard for my car to accelerate. I can make it move forward or
backwards but am having trouble trying to save its previous X
location so that when I'm pressing "a" it will keep accelerating
until I stop pressing "a"

Sockwave Exporter for 3DS Max 4

To acquire the swd_exp.dle file that is needed to export .w3d
files from 3ds max 4 (seeing as the link to the discreet site
doesn't work ) - follow the link below.
Extract the sw3d_exp.dle file and place it in the £ds
max 4 plugins folder - don;t rename the file - it works fine.

Hi!
I tested and I bought a PC.
I mean, there is no major problem using the Macbook, but its a lot more expensive and I need processors working.
I used the 3Ds Max obviously via bootcamp and it worked fine. But you must remember that the F keys must be pressed with the fn key, so the delete key, too (the delete key in mac is actually a backspace key and does not work properly, you must press fn).
The problem I had was with retina graphics. The screen gets resized (I tested with a 13 inch - 2560x1600, and windows works with 1920x1080, something like this), and the pixels get stretched. This definetely bothers when rendering, you can't see the details. Even Maya in OS X have the same problem (since its not updated to retina yet), you have to save the image from the frame buffer then open in Preview to see it not stretched. In Windows does not work to do this (as the screen gets stretched), so its pretty messy work with 3DS Max, unless you use an external monitor.
I will only get a Mac again (the new Mac Pro is amazing) when 3DS Max be supported, unfortunately. Its pretty annoying use bootcamp and switch between OSs every time.
Another thing I thought about using is Parallels. Its works fine, till you need to render something (even some little previews), so forget about it, unless you have a super Mac. An quad core 3rd generation i7 did not handle it well.
Hope it helps!

Camera tracking question

I have some hand held video footage. I have created a 3-D object in 3ds MAX and need to get it into the footage somehow. I have no idea how to do this. I know I can track camera movement with Mocha, but I need help. Can I take this information and transfer it to a camera in MAX?
Dean

There are two solutions (like already metioned):
You can render your object out from 3Ds MAX with a static camera, import the footage to After Effects, motion track your video and parent the render to the tracking data. Therefore you need to match the camera angle in your 3D-Software and you can't use this method for a actually moving camera. But for tilt and shift movement I think it's a good method.
You alternatively could use the free voodoo camera tracking software. Of course it doesn't give as great results as the commercial software solutions but I'm quite sure you can get a pretty nice 3D-track with a little work. Then you can export the tracking data as a script for 3Ds MAX and use it in the 3D software!

RPF Camera does not match the scene from 3DS Max or Maya in AE

Hi, since I've been trying to integrate 3D with Motion Graphics, I've had trouble. First I read in VideoCopilot's website that I can import 3D cameras into AE, but when I first tried in AE CS6, right clicking on the RPF sequence layer (with the ZDepth info included), the camera was never imported, and never created a new camera layer.
Then I tried in CS5.5 and from 3DS Max 2013 the camera was succesfully created but it's movement did not match the imported scene, because when creating and positioning some 3D layers, they did not stick correctly to the scene, and they never looked integrated. So it's a pain trying to make them match.
So I also installed Maya 2008 and followed this tutorial (https://vimeo.com/32726702) with a locator for the scene, then saved it as a Maya ASCII, and again when trying to match the camera inside AE with the scene's camera, the movemet of the camera imported was again strange and the 3D layers did not stick correctly to the imported scene. Of course I know I have to position the 3D layers, and I get them to be in the camera sight.
I need some real help because I've tried many times and asked a friend who knows of Maya and 3DS Max, but he could not help me neither inside AE. Again, the importing of the RPF in CS5.5 works fine, but the movement of the camera just doesn't seem to be right what I need.
Thanks for any help.

Cameras in RPF files must be embedded accordingly. Just because it has depth data doesn't mean there's camera data as well. I'm sure there is some simple check box somewhere. The rest sounds like mundane scale and coordinate issues because you do not set up your 3D scenes properly, but that's impossible to tell for certain...

Merging C4D 3D objects with AE camera tracked video

I am able to use CC AE's camera tracker track video, create a ground plane, targets, nulls, etc., and get objects created within AE to move along with the camera movement of the video that was tracked.
However, after I create a C4D "layer" (file), I am unable to align the 3D space of the C4D scene with the 3D camera generated by AE's camera tracker. After matching the position and perspective in C4D, the 3D object remains static and disregards any movement in the video. Selecting either the "Centered Comp Camera" or "Comp Camera" makes the C4D layer shink to about 1/20th of its size compared to the "Cinema 4D Camera".
Can anyone suggest a comprehensive, clearly explained tutorial on how to merge C4D 3D objects with video footage in After Effects?
thanks!

You start by running AE's 3D camera tracker on your footage. Then you select tracker points and set the ground plane and origin. Then you either select another set of tracker points or use the same set to create a null and a camera or a solid and a camera.
Now you go to File>Export>Cinema 4D exporter. Save the File. You will get a C4D project with the Ae Camera and any other 3D layers you included in the comp.
Now add your elements in C4d and then import the C4D file into AE. Drag it to the timeline and select use comp camera.
That should do it. It's prety easy if you follow these steps.
If you created the c4D file first, then tracked the footage, you have to select Comp Camera in Cineware, then extract the comp camera in Cineware, then re position your elements inside c4D. This can be done but it is much more cumbersome.
I hope this helps. Just make sure that Cineware is always using the comp camera and that youare using the 3D Tracker Camera from AE in C4d when you are trying to arrange your scene.
Grayscale Gorilla has a tutorial that kind of shows you how to do this. They miss setting the origin and ground plane and there are much more effecient ways to arrange objects in the scene, but it should give you an idea of how this works. The best part of the tutorial is on lighting and color matchin inserted 3D objects.

Tracking C4D model in After Effects with Camera Tracker

Hello, I have a problem positioning my C4D object in my After Effects Comp for camera tracking. I create a comp with video footage that I then track camera. I choose a bullseye and position it where I would
like the C4D object to be placed. I right click the bullseye and 'Set Ground Plane and Orgin'. I then place the C4D object in the comp and set the Cineware Camera to 'Comp Camera'. Now, the C4D object is placed where I
placed the bullseye, but it is very very small. I can hardley see it. How do I bring the object closer to the 3D Tracker Camera before the camera starts to move? Or do I bring the 3D Tracker Camera closer to
the object before the camera starts to move. I also tried 'Center Comp Camera' but then the small C4D object disappears and goes off screen. I appreciate any replies. Thanks alot.
Brandon C.

Simply scale the object/scene in C4D.

3ds max, viz and autocad problems with bootcamp

I recently bought a new mac pro 2 quad 3.0 as a workstation. I have two hardrives installed one for mac os system and the other one is for windows and bootcamp.
The problem is that after using 3dsmax or any autodesk program for a while. I turn off the computer and comeback next day and click to continue on my 3ds max file and asks me to activate the software again. This is typical for viz, or autocad. I have to call autodesk every day to activate my software. Tired of reactivating the software everyday...
They told me the problem is with bootcamp..
anybody has any recoomendations?
plz help..

I am going through the same problem with v9 and 2008. I am running a MacPro workstation with bootcamp to Vista. I was using v9 fine until I upgraded to 2008 and then the licensing issues happened when switching between Mac/PC. I also upgraded to Leopard so I don't know who is to blame. I want to know if Autdesk changed the licensing technology or if the newer bootcamp in Leopard is the problem. Now I'm wishing I didn't get the Mac thinking I could run core apps like 3DSMax.

Need Help With Motion Track/Camera Tracking

I've been trying for several days to motion track 2 seconds worth of footage but I cannot get it. I've tried the AE motion track, 3D Camera Tracker, Mocha Pro, Camera Tracker from the Foundry, Boujou (could be user error with that though, cause I had never used it before), but I cannot get this shot figured out. Test - YouTube here is a link to the footage, I'm trying to track from frame 183-235 (where the guy is kneeling down in front of the box holding dynamite and everything is black and red)
Any help would be great, all I want to do is have an image attached to one of the boards in the background so it doesn't move.
Thanks!

Wow you have boujou? Thats awesome $10k, anyway looks like mocha should be fine for this as I don't see a ton of camera movement in that shot where you want to track. Do you know how to use mocha? If not there are tuts while working on that scene. Here's a few http://cgi.tutsplus.com/articles/advanced-motion-tracking-with-mocha-ae--ae-15231 and for various tracker apps including the built in one http://cgi.tutsplus.com/articles/26-tracking-and-matchmoving-tutorials--ae-7394

3ds max can't save to lion server, 3ds max can't save to lion server

I know there have been many discussions in the past few weeks.
Please if any one can help me with a sollution or work around I will appreciate it.
We have a mac mini server and both mac's and windows in the office.
All work perfect except 3ds max can't save or open files from the lion server. All other programs work perfect from the windows machines to the lion server.
Anybody found a solution yet?

No I'm still going around in circles. It's infuriating, everything else is working fine, I just have this one issue with the .max files.
I phoned Apple yesteday, hoping that they may help as we have an AppleCare Protection Plan that supposedly has software support. They have not managed to help in anyway, and have suggested that I take out some kind of cross platform support at extra cost, although they may not be able to help either.
They are saying it is third party software vendors responsibility to sort out a fix, which annoys me, as we haven't changed the third party software, we've upgraded the server and now our workflow is broken. I have read of other people that have contacted Autodesk about the issue and they have said that the problem is down to Apple using their own SMB in Lion Server, but haven't mentioned any kind of fix/workaround.
I don't know whether switching the servers SMB off and running SMBup may help. It's not something I really want to do, but I'm really running out of ideas.

TS3376 I had my iphone set up to be tracked as registered with iCloud and it had been using it for a year one day it said no devices registered and stopped working why???

I had my iphone set up to be tracked as registered with iCloud and it had been using it for a year today it said no devices registered and stopped working even though i tracked the selected iphone 4 device an hour earlier why did it do this???

So basically the phone I was tracking was working an hour earlier it had no signal at times when it did pick up a signal it located it easily but an hour later the message came up no devices registered when my friend returned home I Checked the device I was tracking to make sure find my iphone was on but it was off and my friend didnt turn it off so my question is why did it turn itself off???
Confused?
