TRACKING

whew....now i'm tracking.














Most of the plates are coming ok, i'm getting werid translation slips in some though....and a whole lot of subpixel drifting.

Boujou is pretty good for the most part...i hear good things about syntheyez so i might run some of the plates through that again to see if it gets better.

but here is the scene that boujou spits out in maya...












You can see i added geometry here to help with tracking and eventualy scene integration. But all those green dots are the track points boujou tracks and places.

I Have a Direction

So i'ts going to be a mock PSA for the Inetrnational Society for Unmythiczing(sp?) Mythical Creatures. This is coming from one of my pet peves of calling ancient greek religion mythology. You can't prove your own religion is right so why discredit theirs? I like the idea of many gods, one for each emotion. Their Religion is more fun and has better stories.

HDRs

when i was on location shooting the HD footage i also took HDR panos that i'll use to light the scenes in maya so the models get a close representation of the lighting thats occuring in the footage.

Each pano is about 7 exposures of 8 different sections of a complete 360 degrees. Stitching these takes forever because i used a high resolution camera so i could get good reflections in the sym water i'm planning for the river shots.

FOOTAGE!

ok. so i've been out filming. Been kinda rough, but i think i got some good stuff i can mold into something solid.

here's some stills...
