Matchmover To Shake (with Camera Data)

[user_deleted]

Hey all

Ok I have a series of supervised green screen tracking shots which I have tracked in MacthMover Pro.

I will be exporting to 3ds Max *.ms file all good, however I also what to export the camera data to shakes multiPlane node (I know its a dog), the only way to do this that I can see is with a maya *.ma file as this is what the multiPlane node accepts. (I am not going via the shake *.txt or the shake *.shk as these exports do not carry the camera info accross).

Now the problem I have when doing this is that when importing the *.ma file shake tells me it is not the header it was expecting???

is there another approach I can follow or is there a tracking data convertor out there some where???

I can be a little thick at times so If I am clearly missing some thing please point it out kindly.

Could you show us the headers then? might actually help to fix the problem.

well if youre doing the matchmove and working with camera data in your 3D package, you wouldnt really need that tracking data for your compositing software now would you?

because once you create the 3D elements, the cameras you render out will already match and fit in your composite.

i was thinking about it, and if you add that matchmove data to your compositing software after youve already used it in your 3D software, would that just double up your data and mess up the shot completely?

or are you not creating 3D elements and just trying to get the tracking data over?
