By the way, if your trackers are failing and you're getting lots of errors, Just watch a few Blender tracking tutorials on Youtube

Amazing how now days kids are putting out more useful info to the amateur VFX community than anyone else seems willing or able to. This earned my sub! 👌

I’m not only impressed by the simple and easy to follow tutorial but by how young you are and producing this quality of content. Extremely impressive

This legend is single handily saving my uni project.

Edit: my foolish self did not appropriately address this legend by the proper name, thus I have changed my comment.

Really respect and appreciate people like yourself who give their ti and expert knowledge so others can benefit and enjoy soft

This is amazing! I had a similar idea a year or two ago but your process is so much more streamlined! It gets surprisingly good results too. Definitely saves time when doing low-budget animation of any sort.

As a beginning VFX artist, this is amazing and the fact that you put it out for free is mind blowing (in a good way lol). Anyway, thank you so much for this video

Can we just agree that we need to bring this vibe back. 10 years later and this song still hits different. Truly a masterpiece.

When he said “I got ya”, I knew this was the best tutorial. Thanks a lot! 🙏🔥

[JupiterMaroon]

Im so impressed. This tutorial is the fastest and most clear quick guide to motion tracking. Nice job!

I'd say that these days kids are extremely talented at such a young age, which is true, but this takes me back 10 years ago when I was your age and I was also into some heavy tech stuff people would never guess it came from a pre teen. So yeah, never underestimate! Also great tutorial

this kid single handedly saved my short film

Why have I not seen this technique presented before? I imagine there are shortcomings in some circumstances...but I have been researching mocap and "free" for a while now and, yes found solutions, but all much more muddy processes or reliant on some external site or AI you can plug on to.
This awesome simplicity is a great starting point for animation. Thank you for reminding me that this very straightforward function is all that you need to employ to get some good human-feeling (or whatever your footage) movement. Disney animators essentially rotoscope real live action footage all the time.

You're so based man. People have got to be more like this. i love how much more willing people have been lately about sharing their secrets. Legitimately, thank you.

[EnergyIndy]

Fabulous presentation, instruction, and education. Superb format. Thanks young man & Godspeed in all of your endeavors!

[prinzpablo]

No way this is real. Bro you've just helped millions of people save money. Bro thank you

0:46 my only issue is how do you make that square appear to track? First time using blender but I can't seem to find where you clicked?

[mikealbert]

Nice. This can work fine when the movements stay along 2 axis but I suspect blender won't be able to figure out the depth from a static camera if you move a hand towards the camera for instance. Threedposetracker is free and works ok extracting human motion from monocular video if this technique fails for anyone. Thanks for the tutorial.

[GregorMima]

That looks really nice.. Wasn't aware of blender being able to do this without special devices...

[feiibandesignstudio]

i have no idea why, but hearing your voice just makes feel soothed.
