Facetracking trial 01


Using Syntheyes 2011 and Cinema 4D I was able to track the head movement

What I learned: There's a slight difference between the face tracking e-makeup artists are doing and this one that I tried: Most instagram people don't make expressions, the tracking is the movement of the head.

Cinema 4D explorations

In order to acquire more experience with 3D on Cinema 4D, I decided to create some shapes related to my previous "parasite deities" concept.

What did I learn: Cinema 4D is extremely versatile and a great tool for making organic shapes. My next step will be selecting a few shapes I like and use in a video or in the mannequin.

What did I learn: As done before, the tracking of the face is easy to achieve, but the level of animation with motions I want to achieve requires more experience on 3D, which will practice from now on and combine both.

Tracking tryouts - Cinema 4D


First try - MOV video with 4 different tracking points and normal head movements, for some reason I couldn't export the tracking information into Cinema 4D object tracking, option "Run 3D solver" unavailable. I checked online and seems like the problem was the path.

  
Fixed all the red paths and wrong tracking frame by frame...same situation


Second try - Recorded another video with slow head movements and only two very visible tracking points, unfortunately, same situation, but tracking quality was much better.

Checked online for solutions again, most tutorials people had started using images instead of movie files for their footage.

Converted into images.


Even though tracking worked perfectly, the object tracking had the same situation.
