In this series of lessons, we’ll learn how to use MatchMover to take our 2D footage and create a 3D scene.
We’ll begin this project by going through the basic workflow of importing the footage, running the automatic tracker and exporting a file into our 3D application. Then we’ll learn how to move around MatchMover’s 2D and 3D viewports to get a preview of the 3D objects. We’ll then learn how to guide MatchMover’s automatic tracker using Contours and how to create manual tracks. Before outputting our scene, we will learn how to create a coordinate system so that everything is aligned correctly. We’ll finish by learning a few techniques to help the camera solve and render a preview video.
Lesson Outline (10 lessons)
1. Introduction and Project Overview
2. “Importing a sequence, automatic tracking and exporting”
3. Previewing the track quality in 2D and 3D space
4. Using Contours to guide the automatic trackers
5. Manually tracking to get 3D data out of MatchMover
6. Adding a Coordinate System to properly set the scale and axes
7. Manually tracking to help camera solve accuracy
8. Cleaning the 2D tracks to solve faster and increase quality
9. Manually tracking difficult points using multiple keyframes
10. Placing a 3D Object and Rendering a preview video

Matchmover not work alone? Example: Matchmover(Camera solve) to Cinema 4D
Yes, this is not a standalone software, you must have an activated autodesk maya. I haven’t used Pftrack bfore, sorry, I have idea about the differences between them

Why you think NoBaX puts the files in a container and protects it with a pass? For sure not so that you copy and paste them here. This is no respect.
Ryanjon2040, Please Share PFHoe Mac Osx Link

Warning: Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the app. Some of the materials posted here are downloaded from CGPeers, So they could potentially have something injected in them.
We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive, Generic, Patcher, Riskware and Heuristic results, most patches could get false flags like that by some Antivirus companies.) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link or the file MD5 Hash (higher than 30% overall positive result). Thank you.
