Hi there. I'm new to the forum, and I thought I might ask a question regarding MAYA's tracking software. I've read that MAYA Live is capable of tracking walls, but is it possible to track objects (ie. motion capture)?
I'm working on an sci-fi independant film and it looks like I might have to place rendered objects on people's heads or in their hands. Is it possible in MAYA Unlimited?
Thanks!
Many times the process you're talking about, matchmoving, is done by hand, in Maya or whatever package is being used. Though doing this by hand is painful, it's what works most of the time.
Honestly, though you may get some results from Maya Live, I'd use it sparingly, especially if you can get your hands on something else, like boujou, pftrack, or others.
