I've worked with motion capture for a couple years. It's exciting to see features coming to C4D. As for the markers you're using and the number to use... Typically, a smaller number should be used for markers so large. If you want detailed tracking, it may be worthwhile to use small pieces of reflective tape and shoot through a ring light. I don't know how C4D handles non-rigid bodies (like limbs, or even facial features), but it'll be interesting to experiment. I'd love it if programs like Vicon or Maya were needed, since those often break the bank.
Only brand new to this software but this appears to be the best, most helpful and detailed channel to help me learn that I’ve come across.. thanks so much bud
Hi man, amazing tut, I wanted to know how did you create the dynamic balls at the end, I tried using the cloner and dynamics tag and the dynamics arenot working when they are inside the object tracker. Any tips on that? Thanks...
Very Cool. In my ignorance I thought that the balls were somehow electronically linked to the software but its just visual reference for motiontracking :)
Two questions: 1. What is the keyboard shortcut to zoom and reposition the footage? 2. Why are my user tracks only tracking one frame, and then are unable to track any more (tracking options become greyed out)
this was great! just a small question, can i track a face without the traking balls? i mean, using facial features, like the tip of the nose or the ears. im asking because what if what i want is to make the 3d objects appear in the scene. Thank for this tutorial it was really good
If your tracking is good enough, you can. The white balls are only there to help tracking (High contrast with the rest of the clip). But you will probably need to do a lot of manual correction.
It’s common to add small tracking markers to actors’ faces that you can use to track the motion. Just include in the post process a pass in which you erase them using the very same tracking info you got from them.
Great tutorial! When I render a frame to picture viewer it only shows the objects with a black background. How do I get the frame of the footage to render also with the objects?
Just buy balls like these from the dollar store (if they're available there) or in the arts/crafts shops where they sell supplies for art projects, i don't know about your country, but here in Bulgaria, they're not pricey at all ,glue them / or use a tape / to a simple black hat and voilà 😁
New to Cinema 4D, this tutorial was super helpful. I have a question regarding tracking data, I have a few bum frames that I was trying to remove similarly to how I would when working with After Effects. The project itself starts to look more cleaned up, but when I save quit out and reopen my C4D project, all those keyframes I didn't want come back. Am I not replacing the tracking data with information it needs, thus the keyframes returning?
Can anyone help me? Tracking done all well but the position and rotation whenever there's movement doesn't seem to follow its orientation... anyone got any ideas? My footage is an iPhone being rotated and I tracked the screen. but rotation isn't being applied, not that I see..
Can someone help me? I am very new to C4d. I have followed the tutorial and I have got to the part where you Target the User Features from the Object Tracker. How do I make the Sphere and give it the jiggly effect?
99/00 was sotNice tutorialng called Vision DSP or DST or sotNice tutorialng and didn't quite work the way soft soft does, but tNice tutorials video helped so
I'm curious about one situation. In my scene, at the "sphere step" (near the end) I have one single frame that is off. How can I correct this ? Have I to redo all the mocap at this frame or is it a way to correct this single frame while keeping the contraint tag ?
My footage wasn't showing up and nothing was working. Turns out I had "other" turned off under the filter menu, which made my footage invisible. Just in case anyone else is struggling with this issue, that's one thing to check!
boss how you color match plz god can you make a tutorial on that ...with bowls ..plz one one tell us ...all process if you are giving a online class somewhere plz tell me
When I click the "Run 3D Solver for Object" button. NOTHING HAPPENS. No error, no result, nothing. It's like the button isn't connected to any function in the code. It doesn't crash, fail, succeed. Nothing. Please help, anyone... help.
@@MegaAlexPink Did you ever figure it out? I have 15 points and still same where I click and nothing happens (even Run 3D solver button in 3D Solve tab in Motion Tracker)
@@eddie-11 no im afraid not as a fix. I just had to workaround. There is no use in rushing, manual tracking 8 or or 9 points feels slow but then works. Sorry i cant be more directly helpful.
@@MegaAlexPink Thanks for the reply. I took time to do 15 points but then in R21 it worked. I tried again in R19 and it took a while but worked (without indication at lower left corner) but points are 1000s of cm away so it's all wrong and unusable even though my points are tracked well. Not sure what your work around was but I'm thinking I'll do this in AE.
It's so pleasing. The setuping and mastering softs amazing.
The comnt section is very positive and downright encouraging! Love it!
It’s totally worth learning new skills cause then you get excited and confident to create
Thanks for your easy to follow explanations, one step at a ti. It makes learning less overwhelming!

ok
Really nice job. I did so stuff with MIDI/DAW/soft banks wayyy back in like 99/00 in college and was ok at it. I bought soft soft last
Take a week just learning the basics and you will be good, I been using soft soft since it was Fruity Loops back in 03, and still learn
You need at least 7 trackers to track an object, or 3 for a geometry-assisted solve.
below that u cant click those button
Thx!
thanks a lot!!! this is what I was looking for
Keep em' comin' and thanks for all of the help!!

5 seconds before you said thats a bit boring I was like dude thats sick
wow!! Fantastic iddea!!!!! Thank you very much for the tuto.
For those of you cant see the 3d resolver please add more track points
Hi you must track 7 point at least
in R22, you need like 8 track points
So cool! The lighting is so perfect as well!
when you’re in the channel rack, click on gms to open up the gms nu, in the light blue screen on the top left look where it says
2:45 great skipped 10 steps
Right click on the point you want to track then "Create user track here" then "track forward (or backward, or bidirectional)". ;)
Oh man i finally found your channel
Almost fell asleep wNice tutorialle listening to Nice tutorials voice
Nice tutorial Micheal, great video to get us started. May you tell - how do I link two or more channels (in the rack channel) as to share the sa
wow. thank you for the amazing video
Thank you!
Thanks Chris Hemsworth. Great tutorial and great voice:)

ALL RIGHT THOR, now show us did you made environment lighting so wall
Why do you sound like Thor?
great now i cant unhear it
ahahhha... i was thinking the same....
aaahaahahahahaaaaa.....................RIGHT.......ABSOLUTLY RIGHT
Chris Hemsworth is also Australian, would be a logical answer... no? Lol.
I am watching his tutorials from a few days and i think that too
It's easier than it looks. I found learning soft design (like setups - I use SERUM) much more scary but it's doable, you just gotta be

Rigid body physics
How did you made this awesome mask with these withe balls?

what renderer did you use for those realistic balls?

best thing that happened to me today ...... ❤️💯
help me only half of video is being solved by 3D solver. Driving nuts. Tracks looking good but won't solve full video.
hi you must tracking 7 point at least
Hello. how did you make the balls dynamic move?
anybody why when i loop a soft, at the end of my loop, my soft starts a half a soft early or late. makes it super frustrating
Great! Thank you.
When i'm running the 3D Solver for Object in the object tracker, it's throwing my coordinates way off, like 106000 away in Z. What's that all about?
Replace all of them to 0
you must put 7 point tracker at least
Awesome tutorial!
Run server is not working. What can I do?

you should import interfootage, first in after effect you should import your video and export png or jpeg sequenc
Doris your right get boring and you push it to the side, I rember one in Nice tutorialghschool that was easier
You never know how much you have in common with so people.
hi, thank you very much for your tutorials
in cinema 4d s22 it's in rigging tags for some reason, idk, I just looked through all of them and found it there
please also tell render settings which u used
Nice video!
thank you so much!

Great tutorial! But I have one question/request. Can you teach us how you made that dynamic wiggling effect we see when she turns her head?
I would like to learn this kind of follow through effect too
right click on those spheres, select Simulation Tags --> Soft Body (so they's soft like balloons)
right click on those spheres, select Simulation Tags --> Soft Body (so they's soft like balloons)
Go to the Rigid body tag. Go to the force tab and change the Follow Position and Follow Rotation. Or use the jiggle deformer :)
Johny ; Five FX thank you
How can i render objects and background at the same time?
thx
super interesting
Why would you pin a sphere to a 3d tracking? It doesn't show the 3d motion. At least use a cube.
What was with the dark gray box under all the balls?
I’ve used Pro Tools, Ableton and GarageBand/Logic and soft is pretty confusing compared so thanks for tNice tutorials vid. It’s not as confusing as
my footage is not showing in cinema 4d is there a preffered codec?

thats pretty cool stuff tho" like it!
Why this feels like Thor ( chris hemsworth ) giving a tutorial in C4D
where to go to ge the softs im tNice tutorialnking of .
my footage didn't load
how do you export the footage from cinema 4d?
I'm literally trying to do the same thing but its only rendering the object
You have to add a background with your footage as material
Usually it’s best to export the objects by themselves and then composite them together on compositing software like after effects
@@felipeedoardo yea but when after effects' 3D tracking sucks u just want to do in C4D like in my case
can i do sane stips with cinema 4d R18 ??
