I love matchmoving

[HONG KONGer]

如果我唔用Match Mover, 系咪Maya裡面都有提供此功能呢？
Is it called Maya Live?

"Is it called Maya Live?"
yes.

Being worked with matchmove for 4 years, PTtrack is best off-the-shelf software I've ever used. You should check it out

your topic title is very creative, but I don't see any reason using this title for your topic........you have not shown anything about your love with matchmoving.........

"Is it called Maya Live?"
yes.

er.......I think it is "PFtrack" right....

I have no exp. on PFtrack but actually I think Matchmover can do nearly everything right now provided that you have a clear concept about matchmoving and a well prepared pre-production. And one thing I read on review about PFtrack is that it does not support helper images........i don't know how it tracks pan and tilt camera. But some functions are quite attractive.

Yes, it's PFtrack, sorry for mis-spell
from my own experience, I think most of the tracking programs do a similar good job in tracking, but it's the "calibrating the world coordinate" part set the difference. Meaning how to convert the 2d tracking data into a 3d world, it's the heart and soul of 3d tracking. PFtrack is amazing good at that.

Can PFtrack tracks with no trackers?

[stantang]

Can PFtrack tracks with no trackers?

Do you mean "no hand-placed trackers"? Yes, it does both auto and manuel tracking, you can mix and match them as well.

So if I have Maya I don't need Matchmover?

[stantang]

Yes.

I believe each MM package has their strong and weak point. Sometimes when you have no other possible solution to go with one package, other packages may save your life. Different packages will give different results on simple tracking or ridiculous shots. So it is good to know different packages.
Of course I want to know PFtrack more~~
