Tracking (2)

[jo99]

How do you bring in other tracking info from other programs such as mocha or match mover into nuke?

[fxnurbs]

A simple way ?.... If you don't have any export to nuke, no you cannot. It will come hopefully now that nuke is eating the market.

you have still the way to import the 3D cam with the locators, at least for boujou (import_boujou, tlc fonction)
then you can reconcile the 3D to a 2D point
you can also export for shake, then in shake export the track info in a txt file (can't remember how but it worked well) then copy manualy the tracking info into a nuke tracker.

or you can try to track inside nuke, simple and good traker. of course if it is possible.

or you can wait that nuke X come with his 3D tracker and do everything in it.

i know it is frustrating

thankx for info, ill give it try
so boujou is an export tracke rthat i can use to export tracking info into nuke
correct

[fxnurbs]

no, it is nuke that import boujou files.
it is a hidden command, hit tab with the mouse in the tree window, be sure you are in tlc, not python in the window that pop up, then write import_boujou.
you will have a win to import you .bj file. It impoet the 3D can and locators. You can reconcile the locators you select in 2d track (same name command)
i never tryed yet

[jo99]

wow thats a whole lot, but nuke does have a great tracker i just like the way PTfarm and matchmover does the whole 3d lay out

Mocha exports tracking data to nuke.  You can also export shape data as an ssf and convert it.

PFTrack has a nuke export feature which works great.

You could also export the data into Maya and then use a MEL script to export into nuke although I don't recommend it,
it works, but can be tricky.

no need a mel script, nuke is happy to import fbx camera from maya (maybe camera in .ma but never tried) obj files are okay too for objects as ref.
