Great Tutorial ;)

this is just amazing.

very nice info...let me add my 2 cents to this blog by sharing a really good resource of 3ds max tutorials at http://appslog.com/blog/1-blog/796-huge-list-of-3ds-max-tutorials.html

they really have a huge list of tutorials.

WEW! huhuhu i think im gonna cry!! Ure a God on AE! i wish i could also do this on my own...

i have a MAJOR problem, when i export the camera to were ever i wont, and i manually go there myself i do not see that camera i exported but when i try to export another once i can see it through the browse button? and becuase of this i cannot do the camera tracking inside of studio max. the "Max Script" is not appearing when i need it?

colton109@hotmail.com
please help me

Andrew Kramer i have a problem, i do all the thinks right but when i watch the video the text is moving! you know why?

wow.that was a powerful software,like a motion capture camera and very expensive too..Man,everything is so expensive with this line,he,he,he...thanks a lot sir Andrew,you're the best there is!

HI ANDREW,
CAN ANY1 HELP ME WITH DIS..
WHENEVER 1 SELECT A POINT IN BOUJU AFTER THE CAMERA SOLVE ALL THE REST OS THE DESELETCTED POINTS ALSO TURN GREEN.. I'HV FOLLOWED XACTLY WT U SAID BUT DIDNT SOLVE THE PROB DOSE NY1 KNOW WT SHD I DO..
HELP ME MY EMID IS

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!

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.

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.

good one

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

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.

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

how long have u been animating now?

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

hi like your tutorials vmuch. very use full things

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!

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

Andrew, you lightened up a depressing week, and ignited long forgotten ideas within me!
This spring will be one full of projects, but now, thanks to you i can't fall asleep (it's 1.a.m in vienna)

;)
thx,
adam

Maaaannn....! 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...!

What was the name of 3d traking software.

LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

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!

What an amazing tutorial, and you make them free for us ? What a great person you are. I really don't know how to thank you, just the word "Thanks" is not enough.

what web-site do u get the Hole or crater

All things is very fantastic tutorial.
Go around the world, Andrew! Don't forget to landing in Indonesia ^^

Thank you for these amazing tutorials. The 3DS Max bits have been very exciting and helpful. Big shout to A.K.

dammit andrew i could kiss you

Haha, well done, Andrew.

I am a big fan of all your tutorials and everything.
It has helped me a lot so far, and I plan to take up Film Editing and Special Effects as a career.

Well, great work man!

OMG!

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

Very Nice Tutorial

Thanks You Andrew!

HOLA ANDREW, QUIERO FELICITARTE DESDE ESPAÑA POR TUS MAGNIFICOS TUTORIALES,QUE ANQUE TE PAREZCA MENTIRA HASTA AQUI LLEGAN.ME GUSTARIA QUE JHIZIERAS EL TUTORIAL DEL CRATER PERO NO EN 3D SINO PARA EL AFTER EFFECTS QUE ME ENTIENDO MEJOR,BUENO UN SALUDO DESDE ESPAÑA Y SIGUE ASI.

u r crazy man! so incredible

Eita caba vei arretado!
Parabens pelo Tutorial.

great tut - what i would like to see is the same thing without boujou, specially planning the shoot, how to export kamera from AE to XXX etc.
guess boujou is not affordable for most of the guys her but nevertheless good to know how it works :D

for the ones who want to know, if you go to import the cam mov from boujou to XSI 6.5 or above, you dont have do anything for the track to be compatible just place a test object and see if its set correctly, most of the time it is set well by default, select flags some points for reference, it give me some headache and longs hours of testing until y try to leave something as default, y incredible it works. later i felt like a dumb. jeje tanks for the tut

realy great work man, thank u and thankx to ur work gruop alot. we missing sam in this tutorial

Nice tutorial on Boujou. Two thumbs!

Not a fan of 3dsmax, but it's good to know how to change the coordinate system. Sweeeeet.

Are you going to pull a captain insano trick on us and do an advanced match moving tutorial? You know like replacing part of a persons head with the famous tea pot that only max has.

I think it's a quantum leap, at the level of post-production,,
I love this series of tutorials.
thank you very much.

creo que es una salto cualitativo, a nivel de post-produccion,
me encanta esta serie de tutoriales.
muchas gracias.

Dear Andrew, always help me.

Thanks man awesome

I purchase all the programs already, i hope do well.

Bye

WOW ! you're a god !

we should bow down and praise thy great one !

Wow...

Too bad i can't afford 3ds max or boujou. On the other hand... im happy with After Effects and Blender.

esperamos ansiosos la segunda entrega de este magnifico tutorial.

dude i never leave comments on anything, but, using boujou here in you tuts is just amazing, i hope you keep boujou in your future tuts man , thanx a lot

Great tutorial!

But, when is the pt 2. coming?

I've waited for like a week for it to come.
But really great tut.

:)

no needs to say thanks,you are amazing

good...i love boujou...always have haha. there is a big demand for tracking TDs out there with a good knowledge of boujou and by you doing this, you are openning sooo many doors for people interested specifically in matchmoving.

also on another note, if you made that Fictional Studio into a t-shirt i would sooo buy it hahaha.

Great work! I have learned a lot! I can´t speak English very well but you have very good pronounciation so I understand almost everything! Good job!

one word Awesome

http://www.slradio.tk

ZOMG!!
This tut was God-sent! Boy, how long I had been waiting for a tutorial on matchmoving, holy smokes! O_O
Thanks TONS, Andrew!

Thx so much again master.

Hummmmmmmmm
gret worke
and Nice

Oh my god.

I want to make a career out of this.

I love you.

Nice tut. Someone may have mentioned this already but just incase, Voodoo camera tracker is free...although dont think you can do commercial stuff with it, but for practice it beats the $10k price tag. although it's a bit 'clunky' and slower. Thanks Andrew!

Greatest tutorial ever.

your tutorials are awesome. the thing is now almost every kid who touches AFX with access to a broadband connection is going to download a hacked version of boujou for the fun of it: you make everything so easy for us...
:D
bubz (a crazy kid who goes nuts with AFX thanks 2 Andrew)

hey andrew can you make a tut on how to make a human head in 3ds max like 3d head moddeling cuz there are vid tuts out there but not as good as you would prolly explain... thx bye

Hey Man ... another awesome tutorial! ... thanx a bundle ... the street right in front of my house was already hit by a meteor ... i can't wait to add a smokin' crater ... he he ... Big Up for your work and thanx again for sharing your knowledge ...

Why you do not do also like these cinema I do not understand anything in MAX I hope that in the next instructor you will do on cinema

I loved very the short film will continue to do splendid things

Please andreaw can you tell me the specification of your computer mine is too slow and I need one like yours please just the processor and Graphic card :p

awesome Tutorial!!

Anedrew U are very good guy. thanks a lot.

thank you i relly find some thing usefull in my free time because of videocopilot.com

First Time posting Andrew. You are a Genius as you probably well know. I NEED that part 2 and 3!!! Video Copilot FTW!!

Damn i dont have 10,000 $ laying for boujou but great tut

First time i post on this site, this tutorial really deserves a trophy. So nice to see someone sharing some skill and knowledge into these subjects, usually everyone is so secretive about this "magic". Maximum points from me! this opens up so many doors...

Great tut thx a lot BOUJOU is great. Same problem As Montara Mike..

Awsome work bro..!! keep the good wrk up...!!
i m having problem with my camera work can u help me out with this..!! m using sony PD170 is it good cam..?

And i started doing this myself, but i cant open the motorcycle clip in AE, why? I get an error like this; After Effects: AEGP Plugin AAF: Error occurred while creating project (5027 :: 12)

Great tutorial. The crater scene had mullty null objects, and when text was applyed to the one null position properties it correlated with all null objects in the scene. Just wondering if the same or similar effect(tracking ) could be achived with multiple 2d tracking that is provided by AE?

I'm struggling to do this in XSI, the camera won't match up... Any suggestions?

Another wicked tutorial, thanks

Thanks so much for releasing more power to my fingertips....lovin it large.

Just as a point of intrest..I have been using boomerlabs Max2AE pluging for the past few months to get 3d helpers and Ref points into AE from Max. Its awesome to say the least, export scenes including object helpers, camera's and lighting. Has saved me so so much time...a cheaper alternative to boujou.

Max2AE Link
http://www.boomerlabs.com/

Peace and much respect

Hey Andrew, this is amazing! I am going to try this when the other part is release and join it with my other video!

I got a pretty cool idea: A tutorial on modeling and texturing your meteor, and integrate that with the Blue Planet or Earth Zoom tutorial. Then you could show how the meteor burns as it enters the atmosphere! =D

Thanks,great tutorial.........

Thank you so much Andrew. I have been struggling with boujou and you cleared up several things for me with this vid. Much appreciated!

Amazing you give such quality information out for free, and even more amazing are the ungrateful people who leave stupid comments here.

Thanks Andrew again for one of your wonderful tutorial.

You are the best Kramer, keep it up.

With this tutorial, you are arrive to the top of the line, you are very good person because you are doing
what anybody would make.
Thanks

Good tutorial. When part 2 and 3 will be coming out?

Andrew u the man... thank u so muchhhhh... please give us more tutorials like thisssss...
more BOUJOU....

Hey Andrew this is great, can you put the HD Footage for download so we can use it for reference Thanks and keep up the good work your the best.

so good men, we miss U when U take large time to bring us some new and good staff. We love u, from Lima Peru.

GOOD STUFF.

Good job, great tuto

Thx for all :)

hey man its cool i never miss ur new tutorials

I can't explain how incredible this is Andrew. I'm so inlove with you!

ANDREW u r the man , really cooooooooooooooooool , Awesoooome , i love u man ;)

@Swinters : lol.. "handy andy"

i understand now nyahahahahahah!!!!!!
xyz lang pala

part one is enough for me to understand how

and hey thanks for 2d3 for allowing Kramer to teach boujou =p

In dutch we say.. sticking feathers up someones ¨behind¨! meaning.. cause of all the credit you receive you can walk around like a proud peacock.. and so you should cause you deserve it! thx allot andrew! By the way, i trying to find out how to track moving objects - like a moving head with trackers´- in boujou and add 3d elements. so far without any results . Perhaps the next tutorial hehe!?

Great to see your workflow for Boujou it can be a joy and sometimes a pain.

I like the other commenter change the preferences so the co-ordinates system is Max friendly.

I didn't realise you could alter the Camera settings AFTER you track I always setup the camer settings i.e. framerate before tracking.



Boujou isn't too keen on standard video camera footage i.e interlaced footage as probably most of your readers/viewers use this, in their own films/videos, you can help it along tho if you shoot the scene you intend to track at a much higher framerate, (obviously this depends on your camcorder settings) as long as you stay in your NTSC or PAL settings increasing the frames per sec on you camera even if its higher than PALs 25fps or NTSC's 29.97fps the footage will still adhere to that standard so if you shot at 1000 frames per second in PAL (thus reducing motion blur, Boujous deadly ememy) when you import it into Boujou it still will be PAL 25 FPS (or more accurately interlaced 50fps) this will dramatically improve your tracking success rate.

Excellent informative stuff Andrew. ACE!!

Fatastic. I've been looking forward for this.

If god created us all.

I think andrew was created by some unnatural super power from outerspace.

My point is these tutorails open a whole new demesions for many of us :)

"When an average man dies a whole library is burnt"... Thanks for creating libraries in us. I so much appreciate the knowledge you are imparting in pple. Cheers!!!

Mr Kramer this is the shit meyne ...

Can you make a learnig dvd on BouJou
Iam gonna buy it then

hey guy, exelent job! i lvoe all tutorials.

u r the best....

That was so so so cooooool.

horrraaaayyyy for andrew...!!!!

Thank You~!

thank's andrew
gracias¡¡¡¡

Heah Andrew ! you a so cool in VFX and 3Ds
your tutorials is useful for me i'am enjoy it
Hope your will got like this in the future .

thx
Tora,

Steve,
A good book to read if your interested in matchmoving is tim dobberts book 'matchmoving, the invisible art of camera tracking'. I've just finished reading it and its well worth the money.
Gav.....

Simply AMAZING!!!

hey! thts gr8 tutorial
thnx andrew!!!

great..thank you very much friends...

Hey Andrew Kramer, great tutorial...we are all very thankful for your helpful tutorials that you are giving us for free! Hopefully you will teach us more about intergration between 3dmax and after effects, it's great. Thank's!

Wow! Gtreat tutorial! You are the best teacher in AE!
Hi from Ukraine!(sorry for my bad english))

Great Andrew

from Buenos Aires Argentina,

i change to Fusion, beacouse i join in 3DN , www.3dnpost.com.ar , but im AE user 4 ever.

good luck!

Thanx,

You are making a dream of mine come true. When I finish with my first episode, you will see what i mean.

What about Voodoo (free camera matching software)?

As always AWESOME!!!!!!!!! great work, i've been scratching my head for a while, and you answered my question (to which i didnt know what to ask) concerning the "scale size" I kept getting cameras that were orbiting within pixels of the nulls, but now there is a proper distance that I can actually work with in AE/C4D tyty!!!
this has opened alot of doors, thank you sooo much!!!

You are a legend Andrew.!

You can also flag the marks as "golden" which tells boujou that they are better marks than the other. It can help make your solve look better.

WOW, Great tutorial, cant wait for the next 2, keep up the good job!!!

Andrew, when r u gonna put out the project files etc?

Amazing tutorial! Thank you so much! That boujoy tutorial was so helpful!!!

Thanks

I could of had a V8 but I dont like V8 juice I like Andrew's tutorials. Woo Hoo!! Cant wait to start on this one.

thanks, is good to know exist persons who dont care share waht they know. but, do you have some kind of school for After Effects or for advanced editors where we can take some class with you?

Hells yeah, 3D tracking has go to be THE coolest thing we've learned here. So many possibilities. Thanks again.

YES!! can't wait to watch. thanks Andrew ;)

Thanks Andrew as always this new tut is great!

This is very amazing tutorial! Thank you very much, you make me so happy!

Awesome!
Can't wait for part 2 and 3

I like seeing how it blends when connecting all programs I know like ps,max,maya,boujou and what Im studying right now -after effects

9:43 - "That's good, we're on the right track".

Awesome tut Andrew .. im waiting for the other parts..

oww and guys btw.. if u want boujou tutorials check out http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/dvds/groups/boujou_g.html

Thank you for your tutorials, are just amazing.

Can i download a trial version of Boujou somewhere that is NOT for Mac OS...?

Hey thanks a lot Andrew! I have watched every tutorial on this site and I gotta say, that when the part 3 is done this is gonna be the best!

when are you going to do the microsoft paint tutorials .. im sick of waiting

just wowwwwwww. mindblowing . Thank you Andrew

Great Job Guys!

Andrew did you teach yourself how to use boujou or did someone teach you?

Im really looking to learn more about 3d tracking and I was wondering how you learned. Are there any good books or websites that you can recommend for someone who wants to learn 3d tracking/boujou?

Thanks and the new tut is very helpful

Man, these tutorials are so much better than anything I've seen on the web. This site is were I learned AE ans I'm still learning new things everytime.

Thanks!

Awesome!

I thought I had a good handle on match-moving, but I've learned some important fundamental stuff here! If only this had come out 2 months ago, my last project might have been a whole lot less painful!

I think you should create a new button for this web in each tutorial with some text like:

"ZOMG holy f***in' sh*t, Andrew this is so cool how do you do it Thankyouyouarethebest omg!!!!11one"

instead of a retarded-driven comment board full of useless comments, only 0.1% of them are helpful or even interesting in any way. It doesn't have to be like this if you separate the "thanks" from the "interesting comments" that are being ignored now by being lost in the immensity.
Many sites have rules such as "All comments that doesn't contribute to the thread will be moved or deleted". I know there is a forum, but this should be where people talk and provide useful information about the tutorial.

This site could be better... if you want.
(feel free to edit this post as you like)

TL;DR:
Whenever you want to thank Andrew and request for a new useful comment board with no "thanks" at the same time, post the text:

ZOMG holy f***in' sh*t, Andrew this is so cool how do you do it Thankyouyouarethebest omg!!!!11one

does this apply for C4D as well?

Nice one, Handy Andy strikes again.

wow, learned a couple other things that i've never knew...

Uhh! Why can't you be like normal people and disappoint us once in a while!

Ahh! Your too awesome!

ZOMG I LOVE YOU ANDREW KRAMER BEST GUY WHO EVER LIVED, THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOO MUCH

thank you mr. Kramer

Yes! Finally a good Boujou tutorial! Thanks sooooo much, can't wait until the next parts!

Thnx a lot Andrew thats the best site i knew thank you very much :d

Great job, Where's the project file so we could follow along with?

Oh, and by the way: When you add the Coord hint for the Y-axis, and origon, you didnt click the update coordinates button. Thats why it looks all messy in the 3d view inside of Boujou.

Otherwise, nice tut :) Looking forward to part 2 and 3

thnx a lot. i allways wanted to know how boujou works. great tutorial!

Thanks for some great resources! This is really one of the most important reason to why I started doing AfterEffects. Great site, and great tutorials. :)

That's what i like most !!!! 3D AE

Thanks AndreW!!!

Nice work Andrew, I've always wanted to see Boujou in action. I've read about it but haven't ever had a chance to play with it. Seems just about as cool as I imagined.

Thanks for all your help!

Thanks Andrew always appreciated!

OH SWEET LORD

syntheyes cost 399$ and working very well !

Thank you for one greater tutorial.
You are the best.
Congratulations.
God blesses you.

Fantastic!

Now you are really blowing me away with your tutorials. Gotta say that I have waited so long for an Boujou tracking tut.

Keep up the good work!

Thank you!

Tom.
manual tracking points? you click on the button for adding points. then you just click.

Oh ya this is going to be sweet, thx boss.

It seemed like tracking the JPEG sequence worked well. I would have thought you would need to use tiffs or something higher quality. Is there any type of shot where you would want to use a higher quality image sequence?

I really agree with Maarten.
This simply is the ONLY good clear boujou tracking tutorial on the web and trust me I have searched. Wish someone could tell me how to set manual tracking points in Boujou though...

good......EXELLENT...awesome...XD

Wow !!
I've been waiting for this one!
Im wondering if someone is using Maya as a 3d package?
I just can't get the right lighting and realism effect when rendering..
Max's renderer is soooo easier and simplier!

Great job Andrew! Thaaaaanks so much

Andrew, verry cool! thanks a lot! this is the first good boujou tutorial in the world as far as i know!


Cheers

Ha! I tried those 3d text with moving camera.. but with regular AE tracking data.. It looked okay bit like this is probably way better...
to bad I don't have boujou.. to bad I'm not a robot who doesn't need money so he can spend all of it on computer software...

uhh.. yeah

Good. But I don't have any 3d tracking programs.

this is just amazing.

Im gonna watch it now! thx

I would be VERY VERY happy if you would please give us your textures for this entire project. other than that, I'm speachless. : )

EXELLENT.

I was hoping you would teach me everything i needed to know for my new project. and you did!

The world of artists needs a guy like you!

great work!!!! u¨re pro

wow.

Andrew that`s amazing!

its great to see more than just AAE on your tutorials :) i would probably never start to work in 3dmax if you didnt start doin it..looking forward to this ;)
