Modular Motion Tracking Framework

cults3d

Reconfigurable framework for creating stand-in props when match moving 3D objects into video footage. To get started, you will need some countersunk 4G 10mm or up to 15mm screws, which are readily available at most hardware stores. Additionally, brightly colored paint or plastics are required to create high-contrast ball ends. The rod allows for quick connections at right angles to other rods via their screw hole ends, and ball arms can be attached from any of the holes. Balls can be moved around without needing to unscrew anything thanks to a simple quick bayonet connector, making it easy to swap colors or add different sized balls on the arms without hassle. You can also attach arms to other surfaces to mount balls onto costumes or existing objects. The balls have a flattened surface on one side and can sit comfortably on flat surfaces to provide extra camera tracking objects in a scene. These props are designed for use with Blender's tracking tools, but they should be useful in other VFX software as well. They could also be used with blob tracking in Processing or other art coding tools to quickly create props with real-time 9-dof absolute positional tracking. As needed, I will continue adding objects. Feel free to request any!
