Either youre making your tutorials around my requests or your team just has a great understanding of what people want. Another great application for this software :)

[IannisMaragakis]

So, the sky is the limit. (I love your products).

These mTracker tutorials are such a tease!!! I need to play with it NOW!! Can’t wait to make poor impersonations of your cool tutorials!

Give me the cookies. Give me the sugar coated honey. Me want cookies. Me want Mtracker in me belly. Num num num

Amazing job, very creative. I ordered the suite upon launch for preordering and can’t wait to start using it. Any idea when it is supposed to become available? It’s just sitting there in my list of products on the MVFX website, listed as “preordered”... I have ideas that I’m going to need to write down so I don’t forget them before it finally ‘ships’.🤣

Wow, superb. mTracker looks amazing, but it’s the creative application here I’m so impressed with. Argh... my money is fighting to get out of my wallet!

I do own Mpuppet and how other things can be done with Mtracker 3d is cool.

Great Video... I don't have mPuppet but I have the newest version of Pro Puppet with Pixel Film Studios. When I try to use the Pro Puppet I can't get the puppet movements to appear on the drop zone. I have compounded as you suggest with puppet but I am not seeing this work on Pro Puppet. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks again.. Your videos are very well done and explained...

[JasonRamasami]

Thankyou! I am still hoping that mPuppet is going to be made silicon-friendly. I bought it shortly before the shift. You guys said it was on the horizon but so far no news.

[GlobalEverythingTv]

Be nice to follow along with the plugin but we’re still playing the waiting game lol

[alejmc]

Ok, you guys are having too much fun... time to share that.
By the way, it would be great then if the basic dropzones mTracker compatible titles could have a ‘frame to camera’ or something where the thing stays in place but rotates and scales up to fill the screen where the camera is on that specific frame. No idea if it is doable on FCPX or plugins SDK, but similar to how Frame behaviors work on Motion.
Nevertheless, amazing tutorial, loved it.

So this is like a reverse bullet time!

[adamkurtz]

how did you get such an accurate track with you moving through the shot? i have m3dtracker and if anything else is moving in the shot besides the actual camera movement the track doesnt work

[beardawgstudios]

How do we accomplish this effect using JUST mtracker 3D? Thank you

[FabienPh]

when I load it on the clips it gives me this error:The Plugin M tracker 3D encountered an error during analysis of " name of track"... Unable to find remote plugin for sessionID. Can u help me?
