Nice editing. Only 6 min in but have to comment on how well this is done. There’s no dead space where you want to fast forward, you don’t dum anything down, but you also make everything simple and clear and repeat important parts, youre aware of extra information that would be useful, which is a hard balance to achieve. I could go on but I’m sure you’ve heard enough

[illimitable]

This is the best tutorial I’ve ever watched I’m not kidding. Been looking for this compositing information everywhere and you threw it in as a bonus. Goat 🐐 ty

Your videos are by far the best two videos on motion tracking, keep up the good work, would be great if you could remake the two of them into a new all-in-one video also covering everything that's possible in Blender 4.4.1. Keep up the great work!

This tutorial is easily one of the most greatest tutorial for any people who want to know how and make a CGI movie instead of a animated movie.





Goodjob sharpwind! 😄

[paulesau]

Exactly what i needed, all necessary information, great pacing and easy to follow. Overall a very valuable Tutorial unlike any i have seen... thank you!

[Bomboclatsosa]

actully the best tutor ive seen on this theme. Thaks

[ExploreSweden]

Thank you for actually showing how to troubleshoot the motion tracking part. All other tutorials have 0.1 error from the get go and do not show how to solve them properly. Cheers man!

[begalooloo]

straight to the point no b3llshit or waiting.. simply loved the way you explain stuff.

[ZUnknownFox]

This tutorial is honestly one of the better ones for this kind of stuff most videos I've seen on this focus on a single image render or doing a stationary object, So I applaud you for doing something I could actually find useful.

Also at 25:55 I got flashbacks to the compilation series anxious cynic used to do.

[logiknotlogic]

Can you make a video on the process while working with log or raw footage? Because then the colours and contrast would be completely different for the footage and render and i can never quite get it to look right

[alexjrgaming]

I really like watching your videos because I am used to learn animations and stuff from you channel, nice to see you doing blender tutorials cause I want to do some things I had in mind

[faustoart]

This tutorial is like watching 6 in 1 :-D Really nice job, I personally prefer davinci for compositing, but I really love your workflow, congrats!

[Druid_at_heart]

This is one of the best tutorials on youtube for this! I was hoping you could try doing one that was more complex as well? like having the robot interact with the space (going behind trees, climbing, etc) because thats where I'm stuck right now

[claridrenikmathias]

"Ping me" Sharp slowly regretting his mistakes xD

[musicandhappinessbyjo]

Never knew 3D tracking was so complex. Damn. There seems to be a lot to it.

[stedbenj]

Incredible info! Nice style, man, thanks for sharing this.

@SharpWind 2:35 As you said, since you were already in 16b going back to 32 won't bring back all that HDR data that was lost when in 16bits....that is why your comp has the coloring nut not realistic light on your objects

[Losjo]

1:20 i sneezed and the next shot was this XD

[LimoyDas]

wonder why i didn't find this channel after all this time! great and loved your videos
the in-depth camera tracking was a treasure tomb of stuff... thanks a lot

[ukmonk]

nice video thank you! the blender camera tracker is actually very powerful!!
