can anyone tell me please what application(s) that can create effects 3d modelling etc. other than the video :D

01/08/2013

How do you do this if you don't have a 3D program like 3DMax or Boujou?

02/22/2013

You apply on Autodesk's website for a student copy (that's free) :)

11/06/2012

one of the first sentinces, "we are going to use after effects, 3ds max, and boujou THOSE ARE THE F***ING MOST EXPENSIVE PROGRAMS ON THE ENTIRE PLANET *sob* please make cheaper tutorials. THEN I will completely WORSHIP you, seriously you are AWESOME but I would literally shoot myself if there isn't a way to do this in, cinema 4d and premiere.

04/03/2013

Now I understand that the interface and the process are completely different, but I think you can use blender to achieve a similar effect. And, its free 100%, so no harm trying!

02/13/2013

Professional fimlmaking is not cheap...otherwise the world will be crowded of millionares cinema directors, etc. And believe me...those are not the most expensives ones...

09/02/2012

3D Camera tips ...: Just great !
Thnk !

07/31/2012

The script refuses to load in 3Ds max

09/17/2012

You might need to ad a missing parentheses in the script. Look for any out of place or missing ones. Then just do file, save (not save as) and rerun the script. Hope this helped!

05/08/2012

Hey andrew,
Why do you have to change the z axis to the y axis? i dont exactly get that. Thanks

03/15/2012

how do you bring this 3d camera track into after effects

02/14/2012

cant handle any more extra programs... adobe and 3dmax is enough for me hehe

02/04/2012

AWESOME!

02/04/2012

uhm...sorry i've a little problem...when i start the camera solve and then go to 3D option...i've the axis of my space in another direction:
Y as Z for example....any ideas? O.o

PS: i'm using another video with different camera view

02/03/2012

HI EVERYBODY! I NEED HELP!
I CAN'T DRAG & DROP ANY FILE WITH 3Ds MAX 9!!!!
NOTHING!!!
WHY?? :(

10/08/2011

Isn't the foundry camera tracker plug-in better?

01/24/2012

Well, Camera Tracker is like 250$, and this is 10 grands. I have a feeling that it's better than camera tracker.. lol

10/06/2011

erm can someone help me with this? I've do everything the same as the video, but when I import the .ms file into 3ds Max it says something like:
--Syntax error: at ), expected <factor>
--In line: filename = "D:/movies/meteo/RawFootage01_.ifl

Btw, I'm using Autodesk 3ds Max 2011.
pls HELP! :(

07/06/2012

I know this comment was posted a while ago, but I know the fix. Basically just delete the bracket at then of the file path on the line above the highlighted one when the windows pops up after trying to import to 3DS Max. Then save it, and try again.

06/29/2012

Same! Stranded on a cold and lonely beach with one other guy that I dont really find that attractive to try anything on so I'm pretty much alone. Can anyone help me/us?!

09/21/2011

Hey, can someone help me? I did the steps exactly the same way AK. In Boujou the points are ok, but when i export data do Afx, the points are floating, they are not 100% connected to where it's suppose to be.
by the way, your tutorials are amazing, Andrew! I started learning AFX with videocopilot and i'm very grateful.

09/06/2011

Hey love the videos but please help! If i drag a video into a new comp it plays at normal speed but if i drag a video onto the square crater scene above the null objects the videos speed is to fast for the null? please help

09/03/2011

Ak, can u make a dedicated a tutorial to boujou please i need some more help understanding it.

08/04/2011

I found watching this very difficult becauser I was laughing so much at the fictional studio ;)

07/11/2011

Hey, i have a MAJOR problem with Boujou! It wont open! i get an error message, and i would post it but I alreadry uninstalled it to try and reinstall it. What do i do to make it run? Ive tried running it as an admin, running it in windos xp service pack 2 compatibility, and all the basic things. Please help, theres nothing on the internet about it!

06/02/2011

I have a problem in Boujou, everytime I import a file( Jpeg seq.) it always crashes and i can't start any projects , hope that you can help me with this. :( :(

05/25/2011

Hello Sir, Thank you soo much for your tutorials but this is the only one tutorial that gets bugged with me, and i can't get through this one.

When you click on Edit>Camera. My menu isn't same as yours. like, there are no settings for editing the FPS of camera. I got Boujou 5.0 and when i export the data for Adobe After Effects, the Null objects don't remain the same, they are like shruggling around on the screen.

Please help. Will be very thank full.

Best Regards

07/16/2011

Hi speed,
I had the same problem with my aftereffects export... the null objects jumped around when imported to AE.
I managed to solve the problem by going in to taskview(it's the tab near toobox on the left side of the screen of boujou), chosing cameras, expanding camera and double clicking your sequence. This opens up the properties for that sequence.
The frame rate of that is just never the same for me as the frame rate of the imported sequence eventhough I set it as the framerate of the scene from after effects.
Synchronise this frame rate and i think you would be able to see results after you re-export the points.
Hope this helps

05/05/2011

Wow! thanks i really needed this tutorial because im making a call of duty black ops movie on youtube.

03/14/2011

Hah, in this video, you made a "War of Worlds" reference. Didn't you, cause there was an alien ship that came out of the ground to destroy the world in that movie. The way I put that makes me seem like a geek but I'm not; just an average kid.

03/10/2011

umaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa----thanks

Thanks man. You are my teacher.

this is program---3DS Max

01/02/2011

2 WeirdScience: Big Thanks, Man! It's realy worked!

12/10/2010

When I try to render my video in after effects it comes up with a error saying write permissions problem (-61). Can anyone help.

12/01/2010

If anyone is having problems importing into 3ds Max...here is the fix I used. After you have exported your Boujou 5 tracking data to a 3ds Max file, open up 3ds Max 2010, go to MAXscript, open the script and then delete this:

b=openBitMap("D:/Projects/THE METEOR/RENDERS/Crater Raw Seq/Crater Raw_.ifl")
b.numframes = 171
setAsBackground b
setBkgImageAnimate true
setBkgImageAspect #output
setBkgFrameRange [0, 171, 1]
setBkgStartTime 0
setBkgSyncFrame 0

setRendApertureWidth 14.7574
renderHeight = 720
renderwidth = 1280
renderPixelAspect = 1.00004
frameRate = 24

animationrange = interval 0 171

SAVE the file and then open up MAXScript again and then RUN script. All done.
Works for me anyways.

12/17/2012

Thans Buddy.....Its realy works

I have a problem with the tutorial (74. 3D Crater p1) when I export the points tracking of boujou to after effects, the points appear as me square in the center of the screen, do not understand why you do this, if I do everything as Andrew explains.

Is it possible to make this tutorial with PFTracker, I am not getting the same results. I keep getting that slipping of the objects. So if you can, show me what I need to do.
thanks alot.

P.S. Your doing gods work here, short from walking on water, but with AE, I'm sure you can!

06/06/2009

Just a small tip for people who stop with this Part 1 tutorial and not go to Part 3. 'coz of that none of the NULLS stick to the plane and keep moving.

The hint is in the end of Part 1 when Andrew says, "It gets little tricky for this composition". The trick is the Pixel aspect ratio correction by adjusting the Camera Zoom value (*1.111) and changing the comp to 1280 * 720, which Andrew explains in the beginning of Part 3.

Hope this helps people like me who didn't cross Part 1 due to 3DS Max

Now my Nulls stick to the footage like a leech.

06/04/2009

Thanx Andrew (from Norway)

I have a problem importing my boujou-file into After Effects. There is no null-objects visible on my timeline. You know what is wrong? Its just one layer.

06/01/2009

good one

05/21/2009

Very nice tutorial! ROFL at the end ' A cold refreshing... pepsi' first joke I actually laughed properly at :P

05/13/2009

Hi Andrew;
First of all thanks for all those useful tutorials, basic training, videos, pictures, free effects... i really love way you teaching. clear voice, good quality videos and important tips. my english is very poor but i can understand every words of you say. that's really good for me.
with kind regards from Turkiye.

05/06/2009

gud work dude...
it really helps a lot..

04/28/2009

how long have u been animating now?

04/08/2009

hello andrew sir, i want to tell u why you do not use maya for 3d work .

04/07/2009

hi like your tutorials vmuch. very use full things

04/02/2009

I was wondering, when you import the boujou camera into AE the comp resolution seems to be different from the export resolution. when I export at 1920x 1080 I get a comp that is 1728 x1080. I noticed this happened in your tutorial as well. My question is , what is the correct way to scale this comp to fit the original footage? (or vise versa) and why does this occur? I saw another tutorial in which the author manually scaled his footage to fit the size of the new comp but I was wondering if there is a better way. Forgive me if this has been asked already but I dont have time to read through all of the "cool tutorial!" "wow great job!" comments in order to find out. Having said that , cool tutorial! great job!

03/24/2009

Hello Mr Andrew, you an amazing man, i like all your tutorial and you work, anf how you teach the tutorial, i am animator 2D 3D, and character designer, but thank you very much i learn from you very much thing in less time, keep going on man

I've been following you're exploits for a long time. now that you've gotten into 3D, i've finally figured out what sets you apart from other tutorials out there.... you keep it simple. your results are the same as the other guys... but your approach is the best. keep knockin 'em outta the park...!

Another AMAZING tutorial!!

I just bought AE CS4 (actually the whole Adobe Production Premium suite) and it came with "Mocha for AE CS4" and I have no idea what it's for. It looks a lot like this Boujou. Do you know if it's for 3D tracking??

Keep up the great work!

12/17/2008

Hey!
First of all, this tutorial rocks - again!
But I'm interested in another thing. You talk about the 3D TEXT Tutorial. But i can't find it anywhere. So maybe u can help me! If there isnt already a whole tutorial about it out there i'd love to see a tutorial creating a 3D text like in the opening sequence of "PANIC ROOM". Cause i just dont get it and i am desperate. I think i have to track the motion of the real 2D Footage and ajust it to the title, right?! But... like i said... i just don't get it! Hope u give me an answer! Greetings from good old Germany. Chris
