Blender 3.0 for Production - 2D & 3D Tracking Workflow - 04 2D-Stabilization & Compositing Workflow

Here’s the next lesson of our Blender 2D- & 3D-Tracking tutorials. After laying the fundamentals in the last tutorials we will now take a look into the first use of our tracking knowledge for making stabilizations. We use two examples for that and we also use the Blender Compositor. I hope you like it. 👉 YouTube: More tutorials of this series will follow shortly. Have a great holiday season 🌲Read More

Last week we started the new “Blender 3.0 for Production” series about 2D- & 3D Tracking in Blender. After preparing the footage and an overview of the Movie clip editor in the first two episodes we now dive into the fundamentals of 2D tracking. Many more episodes will follow 😉 Have fun! 😊 👉 YouTube: If you want to support these kinds of videos, you can become a pixeltrain PatreonRead More

What do I love about Blender? That working in the application is so integrated, fast & flexible, for example for shading while changing some uvs on the fly with Cycles still running. Also the amazing bunch of build-in add-ons for so many useful things, from archviz to generating trees. And, of course, the Add-ons made by talented programmers are so affordable or even free. For example this Car Rig add-on.Read More

Blender 3.0 for Production - Tracking

Here we go – today I’ve started the next free tutorial series “Blender 3.0 for Production”. The topic this time is “2D- & 3D-Tracking Workflows in Blender”.  So, if you ever wanted to learn Camera-Tracking, Matchmoving, and Object-Tracking inside of Blender and also get a deep dive into techniques and workflows for exchanging these data with the Compositor and also external applications like Houdini, Maya, Cinema 4D, or NUKE, thenRead More

Thanks to the new USD export in Blender, the exchange between Blender’s powerful motion tracker and NUKE or Houdini is becoming easier and easier. Blender is becoming more and more team-minded – thanks to the developers. My upcoming Blender free tutorial series offers a deep dive into camera and object tracking.
