Production Software Used: PfTrack, PfMatchit, Boujou, Syntheyes, Nuke Camera Tracker... Student free use: Autodesk Matchmover All of the above software is used to 3D Match Move Cameras to video sequences. Most of them are very expensive. PfTrack is my personal favorite. Although all of the above mentioned software is used to solve cameras for video ...

to accomplish this, we need to cheat something. I assume you are trying to do something like this in the following image: First, create a camera in your comp (i see you already have one) Then create a text layer and make it 3D (you have this as well) Select your layer and select Ellipse tool (Q) but do not apply anything. While your text layer selected, ...

This can either be an issue with OpenGL and you may want to disable it in the program settings (under "File) to test if thats the issue. Or you may have disabled the standard infinite light that is present in every new scene until you add your first light. Add an infinite light from the lights menu and see if that gives your objects some shading. Also try ...

This is a tricky video production technique. Anyway, try the following steps: First, create a 4 black solid layers. Then, add a Lens Flare to them. Place one flare in the bottom right corner. On another solid, make the lens flare on the fare right middle. For the third color solid's lens flare, make it on the top. With different color flares, it will look ...

CG is probably the best bet. Motion controlled cameras would be the second best bet, but it would still be pretty tricky as the real world has a remarkable ability to change subtly, but substantially enough to result in a jump cut pretty quickly. Even if you could manage to stop the camera on something that is static, resuming the movement at the same ...

When you render in 3D Max make sure pre-multiplying is turned off. Given the situation you want to render an object to be used for post-production within Photoshop, then… Be sure you set the background to complete black: Rendering > Environment > Background > Colour (click on the colour field and set red, green and blue to 0) Set the ...

There may be software to look at a photo and determine the lens, lens height, and lens angle. But I only know of software that does this with video clips. However the way to do would be to look at the shot and overlay the photo with the scene, and play with 3D cameras lens, lens height, and lens angle and get it close. Due to lens distortion there is some ...
