This week was interesting because we were going to start learning new software – 3D equalizer. 3D equalizer is a match-moving software. This software will be useful for me as a compositor in this project and in my future career. Using 3d equalizer felt somewhat therapeutic and I enjoyed the experience. The goal of this software is to track different areas of the plate and then create a fake camera. Later, this camera can be used to import software like Nuke and Maya.
Dom gave us footage taken in Camden market and we had to track it using different tools he taught us. He also gave us tips on how to find an ideal spot to put the trackers on and what kind of pattern to keep a lookout for while using the software.
After we tracked the plate we moved the camera and the legacy (which we created using the points) to Maya to build a 3D model of the plate. This is what mine looks like.
In our group project, we have completed the asset list and all the team members have picked the asset which they want to work on. In the image below, I have attached the list of the team members and their roles in the project. There is also an asset list to specify each person’s role. A few of the team members have not picked a role yet because they were added to the team later.
