I am trying to do this same thing except instead of a street this is Antarctic ice pack. I created the meteor, the chunks of ice, etc. but I am having difficulty making the ground match my existing scene. I have a picture I made in Photoshop that is the backdrop for a music video I am doing. This picture is also where I want to crater to be. I need the crater to be in my existing picture or have it match the picture. I went through the entire tutorial and managed to get the ground to look like ice/snow but does not look like the picture. Any advice? Is there somewhere I can post the image for people to see?

When I attempt to make a group plane (Matte/Shadow) "See-through" It only makes slightly transparent, if I hide the object I don't get shadows. What should I do?

Hi! All the site is awesome i go here every day to watch and read stuff What i know i know from here) . In this thing i have a small problem i think. In Boujou the tracking looks good ,but when i go in 3ds max the object moves a little bit from a point to another i beg for help in this little problem, the tracking means power.

Hi!

So, i created this 3DS Max file with this Boujou thing,and i want to import that file to 3ds max with the run script. but everytime i want to import it,an error popups sayin: Syntax Error
Please help me.

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&quot
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.

This what 2010 do not run in 3d max importing given about the camera *.ms
let will delete this the part from the file *.ms
***
filename = "U:/boujou/images/ludzik_.ifl&quot
if ( doesfileexist filename ) then
(
bitmap = openBitMap( filename )
bitmap.numframes = 240
setAsBackground bitmap
setBkgImageAnimate true
setBkgImageAspect #output
setBkgFrameRange [320, 560, 1]
setBkgStartTime 2
setBkgSyncFrame 320
)

setRendApertureWidth 20.12
renderHeight = 576
renderwidth = 720
renderPixelAspect = 1.06667
frameRate = 25

animationrange = interval 1 241
***
and he should run, he works at me.
Ps.
This is very simple solution of this, he should somewhere be better in the net.

Hey Andrew,

I'm having a problem in 3ds Max. I'm using the 2010 version though on demo. When I go to to load the Viewport background, all that shows up for the Camera 1 viewport is a white background.
I follow your steps exactly, and I've tried it many times, but it's still a white background that shows up, and not the image sequence.
Can you please help me Andrew?
I love your tutorials by the way. Thank you so much for making them, and letting them be available to watch for FREE.

Thanks,

Hi Andrew
Many thanks for these invaluable set of tutorials. For those who haven't got a camcorder, could you please put the raw footage available for download?
Thanks in advance!

In the meantime I have been studying boujou, and I've found that there is a setting into the menu Edit->Preferences->3d display->Preferred camera orientation that should make the trick for 3ds max compatibility. Choose Z-up/Y-forward. Also in the tranformations toolbar, we can adjust the position of the main(reference)grid relative to ground. Hope this helps.
Keep up the best site forever, greetings from Spain.

Great tutorial! As usual you make it look easy

I am wondering though, since many of us in the design world use Mac's if there is some way to make this more accessible for Mac users as 3Dmax is PC only, and Boujou costs ten thousand dollars. Maybe a Blender/Cinema 4D version SynthEyes/Icarus.

Thanks!

Andrew, the crater you used for a depth map from NASA is called Victoria Crater and it's on mars. The rover called Opportunity has spent the last year exploring this massive body and has just reemerged to travel to an even bigger crater some miles away.

Anyhow, I'm a huge fan of your work. I've been applying the principles of your AE tutorials in my work here at JPL for the Mars missions!

Excellent. It is great to be able to watch someone run through the 3D compositing process to get a feel for the workflow. I don't understand half of what's going on... but, I'm finally starting to get the picture.

HEY ! YOU MAKE THIS LOOK SOOOO EASY.


JUST A THOUGHT:

I THINK YOU SHOULD DO A MUSICAL TUTORIAL....

SINGING - SUBTITLES - BOUNCING BALL, YA KNOW !

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK !

p.s. if anyone reading this wants the talented Andrew Kramer to sing his next tutorial, start your message with "SING IT BABY"
