“Matchmoving, or camera
tracking, is the foundation upon which all visual effects work stands.
Over the past six years Stephen has shared his integration techniques
with Gnomon students and we are pleased to be able to bring his knowledge
to DVD.”

In this second DVD in the Boujou
Matchmoving Series, Stephen McClure demonstrates advanced techniques
for creating working tracks in Boujou, setting up those tracks
in Maya, creating effects in Maya and compositing in Shake.
Stephen takes an in-depth look at Boujou’s workflow with
radially distorted shots and shows how Boujou solutions are
set up and evaluated in Maya. Taking the final Boujou solution
into Maya, he lays it out with proxy geometry and checks for
accuracy. Finally, Stephen explores the creation of a Maya
sprite-based particle smoke system, completing the final integration
and compositing in Shake.
