Just trying to work my way through how to create a full digital environment for your indie movie! Here's motion tracking.

Also- I motion track, from time to time, but there are people who make it their THING, man- here are a few great resources:
Sebastian's Match Track Blend series is basically the de facto tracking series- he gives a great intro here:

You know: this is probably the first time somebody ACTUALLY convinced me to become a patron to someone
True
Same. I started supporting a few weeks ago totally worth it.
Ian Letarte now I’m definitely convinced!
Same here. Actually looking in the comments how to do this....
Yeah I was reading his patron page yesterday and almost hit that button. Looked like Ian had a lot of stuff there.
It's genuinely staggering how easy you make this seem. I had literally no idea how I would have done this 10 mins ago, and now I want to go out and mess around with it myself
Same!
Well that's what I'm aboutta do
Thank goodness you said literally otherwise I wouldn’t have believed you.
Truly believe this is how tutorials like this should be, instead of those which dive-deep into the intricacies of each tiny setting in the motion tracking process. This way you watch a short and to the point video, then go and learn the intricacies yourself by actually going out and doing it yourself.
@@LzysGraphics That's what I felt too. If you asked me how a tutorial should be, I would not have been able to say what it is that I wanted in a tutorial. Your point is exactly what I felt in my mind but couldnt quite articulate thus far. One day I'll be skilled enough to make a tutorial. I will do it this way.
Damn dude, this is amazing stuff!
@Alfa Cinema 🤣🤣
Whoaaa
I never thought I would see you here.
Guys he’s a normal person, he can watch whatever he wants, and it’s a pleasure to have him.
wtf 😂😂😂 you don't belong here
"a couple didnt make it, but we only need 8 good ones"
survival of the fittest
Blender clearly is a machine since it didn't track any of the hot body girlfriend :)
As a kid 10 years ago, i tried doing this with voodoo and other free 3d trackers, there were no decent tutorials, and everything was a pain, even pro software was hard.
You just explained everything you need to know about 3d tracking, especially theory, in 7 minutes.
As someome in the industry, I'm hoping the next kid will appreciate this as much as i do now.
In the honor of your request, I will.
I am 17 now, hope internet was as good in my country back when I started then as now. Sure the genZ has a lot more to come up with.
same story
Yes! This tutorial was super helpful to me. :D
As one of those kids, I gotta say, this shit's fucking wild. I'm extremely impressed at how good free, open source, software is at motion tracking, and Ian's explanations are admirably short and informative. Though I've yet to use blender, so take it with a grain of salt.
Horray! Someone made an updated camera tracking tutorial. Awesome work as always Ian.
whoa
hey look it's the guy that helped me make a donut
I made a donut too with the help of his great Tutorials...🤘😇😇😇😇
Omg Donut man!!!
"Horray"?
I really like the speed of this tutorial. No slow talking, "for absolute beginners" or telling me the whole life story. Straight to the point. Thumbs up!
He does good stuff but with his speed ... we don't get anything workable.... so its useless to watch his videos for purpose of learning.... maybe he doesn't want us to learn from him.
@@PoetryPickle you can pause the video, maximize the window and look where he is clicking. i prefer it to learn this way instead of listening to someones life story.
@@GARCIIIAmonster not a good way.... grant Abbitt is best sofar... have a look at his videos you will fee the difference.
@@PoetryPickle not a good way for you, the way that different people learn is entirely personal and it's not up to you to declare what is right for everyone else. I personally prefer brief tutorials like this that keep a consistent pace, it means I can spend more time working and solving my own problems rather than somebody walking me through an aspect that I already understand when all I want to know is how to motion track.
@@PoetryPickle cuz u bad noob get good at blender random
Does anyone else’s brain hurt when trying to figure how long it would take to master all this
Definitely
Yes! I found out I'm to old for this speed... :-) (I'm 61.... )
Just do basic tutorials and take your time. Practice more than anything of course.
But yea, movies and TV shows typically have teams. I figure Ian does a lot of these effects, but I'm sure he has a team as well. Teams STILL take years to make movies a lot of times, and they're actually experienced!
Don't fret. The sooner you get started, the sooner you can learn it.
And even some more advanced users STILL say they haven't mastered it. It's all problem solving always.
It all goes more smooth along the way as you start connecting familiar dots more and more, trust me
Tracking is easy, there's so many programs that make it automated.
somehow, you just packed more useful information into a single eight-minute tutorial than I have been able to gather anywhere else on the internet. Thank you so much!!
I feel the exact same!! Ian always have some useful information that nobody else has🤩
He actually saves lifes
this what he do
@@znxt1320 So true!
That's basically what he does in every video he makes.
this should be embedded somewhere on blender's motion tracking documentation page xD
Honestly, the first time I watched this I was confused like no other - then I watched a basic video on motion tracking, came back to this one, and then it's like "oh snap this is insanely cool" and now I feel like I can at LEAST start trying. Thanks SO much - this is game changing for me.
Blender guru, Ian hubart, CG geek, CG cookie and CG matter are avengers of blender 😄
yo what about captain disillusion? Cx
@@octoghost3470 He's nick fury
Ya I’ve never heard anybody talking about CGMatter or default cube bye honestly he’s me favorite
Don’t forget Daniel Krafft, Gleb Alexandrov, Kent Tremel, Lightning Boy Studios, and Kristof Dedene
Grant Abitt as well 🎈
8 minutes goes by fast when the content is good.. You should do more in depth videos like this.
true
I don't even use Blender but find your vids fascinating. Always awesome watching someone who has mastered their art!
mate you've mastered the piano 👌
you are *slightly* weird
Dude ....I aint even have a pc
Who asked you ? I can't see the comment goofy boy
@@midobula4797 ShutUp Mulla
Amazing stuff, Ian - great editing.
Wow! THE Marco Bucci here! Hello!
This made me realize just how much of a Blender beginner I am.
if you're familiar with after effects this would make sense.
Im still making a donut
Dunning cruger effect
I feel ya.
@@inactive9550 Valley of despair.
HOLEEEEE MOLEEEEEEEEEE ... geez, if blender isn't the "best in class" in anything, ian proves that it's "good enough" in virtually EVERYTHING!
Exactly!
This tutorial is a masterpiece. In 1,000 years, I wouldn't be surprised if this tutorial was framed in a VR museum equivalent to the Louvre.
*Blender is an impressive tool !*
Made by and for the people who do 3D animation and modelling.
Great example that the best things on our planet are open source, because it's a social collaboration, instead of destructive competition.
it's alright
Uh, competition drives innovation. You think just because it’s open source they’re not competing with anyone? Give me a break.
@@johnberrydemoreel true
I agree, except for the competition part. I think you meant to say greed for money etc.. because companies wouldn't try to improve if there were no other companies competing with them, nobody wants to stay behind. I mean look at Autodesk, it has been sleeping for the past 8 years or so, adding meaningless features and calling it a day (or year), changing the year in their software name and calling it an update. Now that blender caught up with the rest and actually started innovating a lot more than them, everyone is trying and working hard again to make their software better.
*Cries in Adobe*
“Some lines are going crazy. Let them have their fun” hahahaha
The fact that you keep sharing your knowledge like this is amazing Ian. Thank you for what you do. You’re truly an inspiration
As someone who struggles with trying to make everything too perfect and focusing too much on details, these videos inspire me to embrace the chaos. It's proof the end results are often good enough if not better at the end of the day.
Jesus this is brilliant. I’ve seen so many big budget movies with only a fraction of the production quality. I’m speechless.
This has got to be one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Like I lost my shit when you started throwing blocks into the scene and they actually looked like they fit. Outstanding!
2000: prove it's real.
2020: prove it's fake.
Lazy tutorials were preparing us, it's all coming together
This is so fascinating to me. About 15 years ago or so I learnt the basics of Lightwave, but never really pursued that path much. This and what you can do is really mind blowing.
Dude! Those scenes and sets are incredible, they look lived in, uniquely alive and so believable.
Thank you for doing a longer video
Love your one minute one's but sometimes I get confuse and have to go to multiple forums but this is very helpfull. Also continue doing those as well☺️
Thanks continuously putting out creative and interesting content. You're a true inspiration
I love you so much man, just hilarious and succinct and insanely informative. I watched this like two years ago when I was just starting to get into blender and it was such a huge help then. Cut to now, and I’m out of practice after living inside after effects for 60 hours a week and am just getting back into 3d and creation for fun, and your videos are perfect for me in so many ways. You’re a shining example of why both the blender community and the UA-cam tutorial creators community are so fantastic and influential, just giving the people tools to shine and reach for their stars. Thank you so much
This is like, months of work super compressed into a single video. It's amazing
This is gold!!! Love the length, love the pacing, love the content! I’ll take as much of these as you’re willing to give!
Now, I shall go to my front yard and record and then make a giant missile explosion!!!
will there be moths?
@@therawmeatball6883 there must be
It's easier if you do that in-camera
@@HagenvonEitzen - Probably not cheaper though. Especially if you want to use the yard later.
aaand you've just resparked my interest in blender
Ian, you are a legend.. I am stunned by the quality of everything you do. We need to fill schools and universities with teachers and tutors like you.
im at a loss for words how good and valuable your tutorials are. and just a side comment: DAMN your house is cozy!!
damn that looks so good i wish i had a teacher like you. I'm triying to make my own game, i know your focus more on films but still an amazing job
Οχι
@Adrian Vegas what is oxL?
@@jim6213 Yes
@@oogabooga2581 what do you mean by that 😂
Same
I am wonderfully delighted watching these and having literally no idea what a single thing you’ve said means.
This is AWESOME!!!!!! Dude, you were born for this..
From practical projections to motion magic. It's a gift being able to make the tedious and mundane - exciting and interesting. 👍😉
Ian Hubert is one of the most inspiring personality on the web!
As someone who is used to building everything practically, seeing just how much of all your hard work can be so quickly replaced is both incredible and painful. The fact that this is power is in the hands of anyone with the mindset to learn it though is brilliant!
this is the channel where you get actually professional tips and tricks, about not only blender but the whole film make process, love your channel
I'm an absolute beginner who hasn't even downloaded blender yet.
Everything's easy you just need discipline.
This is me! I'm so wanting to learn haha
What the hell is blender ?
@@hibadahmen5893 oh its probably lying round your kitchen. Ask your mum she must have used it. She'll tell you.
@@hibadahmen5893 From Futurama. You know, the robot.
This *blew my mind* and once again made me ask the question of *WHY TF IS BLENDER FREE?!?!?*
Simple, because if it was proprietary if would never have come so far and so fast in the last four years
@@vizionthing Agreed. Proprietary software always gets limited because they only add features that can guarantee they make money. Blender allows everyone to contribute, meaning users get what we actually want and need.
ethic
@@vizionthing in fact Blender was propietary software the first seven years of its existence, then it was bought out for 100K+ to be released as open software. That's likely what made it solid enough in the first place.
@@freebird1721 EPIC!
Wow, I always appreciate your tutorials because they're just so much fun to watch. But this slightly longer format is extremely informative. I've done a little motion tracking before, but never in Blender. I'm dumbfounded you managed to take what is usually a really difficult topic and explain it in under 8 minutes.
You are literally the first person who I genuinely want to support on Patreon. Such great work you do. Very inspiring, thank you!
Some features probably not many people knew about (including myself!):
- Clip display - > info (to know the error
- Refine: focal length, k1, k2
- Frame A, and B (to compare two frames, automatically 1 and 30), if you press keyframe, blender will choose automatically
- Filter and Clear (use detect features several times to have plenty of markers before clearing)
- Parallax (how points move depending on the distance)
- Delete markers that edges between objects and floor (they move differently)
- When using Emission - image (for a clip), change from vector default to window (texture coordinates), so the footage uses all the camera view, also use clip instead of repeat.
- Put the clip in the plane inside the house
- UV Unwrap with cube projection for the outer wall
- When detecting features, set a lower threshold and adjust distance
The world is gonna be a better place with beautiful people like you, who just shows everything he/she knows without bragging.
(not just visually)

Bildiklerini böyle güzel döktüren bir insan, dünya sizin gibilerle güzelleşecek.
this is how every tutorial should be! there are waaay too many out there that are a pain to watch, everything here is straight to the point and still gives useful information on the side
I have no idea what is happening but the way he explains it sounds so fun!!
I literally have no idea what he's doing but I love it
Your light saber video inspired me to make a scene with motion tracking
This makes me to do more and better !
wow dude i love the way you present your explanaitions
I didn't realize one could make a full tutorial with the same information density as your Lazy Tutorials. This is so good.
Said it before, will say it again: you're a damn inspiration to us all
This really is how things should be taught, especially in the 3D field. Show step by step how to achieve a desired effect, that way the person trying to learn it will get instant feedback & will now have the confidence to explore all the other options, details, & capabilities of, in this case, Blenders motion tracker. All of a sudden, all those little check boxes, buttons, rollouts, sliders, menus, tabs, etc. wont seem so intimidating because you now have a small foundation & CONTEXT with which to work from & build on top of. Not saying people should be spoon fed, yes things are difficult & you should always be willing to put in hard work & work your way even through the more boring aspects of whatever you're trying to learn. But anyway yeah this was a GREAT video!
This is the first time I've watched one of your videos. I have to say, the way you communicate is so efficient and smart. Appreciate it man!
I just make music but I love to see people skilled like you, but time you really made possible something almost impossible. Wow! Congrats! No more words for this
Wow, your timing couldn't have been better! Literally just yesterday I spent about 5 grueling hours trying to solve a camera track that I couldn't get right. After watching this video today, I was done with my track in about 30 minutes! So, technically I guess your timing could have been better. If you'd uploaded it yesterday it would've saved me 5 hours! :P No, but seriously man, absolutely fantastic work! I was introduced to your work from your talk at the Blender conference last year and I've been hooked on projection mapping ever since! Your lazy tutorials are awesome, too. Can't wait to dive into this stuff! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skills with us!
But you would not have known the real value of this if you had access to the video earlier :)
2:08 the real question is "is that a real background here?"
lou 1 No, lighting and background look a bit off
Yeah I kept looking at it, and it doesn't look right. It might just be my brain going "you're watching a video about VFX, so everything must be VFX unless you're told otherwise"
He's actually in space.
There's no moths in there, so it doesn't seem that realistic tbh.
the real question is...was all that real...or a simulation
This is far more than just impressive. Astonishing, mindblowing, incredible, amazing! Great work!
I first learned blender so long ago. The project vanished and I was still trying to model the castle. Some years later it came back. I just got back into it and have to basically start over. I love your videos. They are a bit more advanced than my current skills, but I'm practicing again and learning the newer UI. Thank you for sharing!
i thought this was impossible to make without a big scene and a team and money and.... woaw. thank you
Awesome shit.
This is amazing seeing what’s possible
IanHubert, your quality conciseness is a breath of fresh air and essential if my brain's going to capture Blender in a useful way. Thanks; you've got my attention.
highly recommend watching the first 30 seconds at 0.25 speed - mostly to take in more of the work, but Mr. Hubert's voice is awesome in slo mo
It was kinda scary when he just cut to himself talking, not used to seeing that in his videos
The demo shots in the first 30 seconds were INSANE! Frikin flawless... I watched that first part like 10 times.
As somebody who's into visual effects myself, this is impressive work, the green screen shots is better composited and colour corrected than some of Hollywood films.
'I need to try this out!' - literally everyone who watches this video
That's a beautiful house you live in.
I love that your teaching this. I also love the series you started. I do hope you continue it ❤
Ian......You are an incredible talent. I've seen many of your videos , and even though I don't understand 99% of it , I sure do appreciate seeing your work. Thank you.
I love this tutorial because of how sweet and simple it is. I only just started learning the basics of Blender rendering, never once motion tracked in this program before in my life, but in 8 minutes I think I really grasp it.
One big question though: I love Eevee, it's so much faster compared to Cycles...so is there a way to get a shadow catcher for Eevee?

One of the most beautifully done tutorial I've ever seen. Thank you!
I like his style. He makes you focus.
there is a strange round shaped reflection on the "electricity panel" outside the house at 7:26
Nice tutorial by the way
i know you all haven't noticed that his background (the ones that he appears in the video) is blender made too
Lol, this is absolutely brilliant. I literally laughed out loud at how amazing the result was and how good this whole process is.
We are so lucky to have you in the open source world! Thanks for your entire work! You give me hope!
The end result though - damn you'd never know.
Instead of image texture you could have used a procedural cement texture like in Ducky 3d's tutorial. It would have taken the scene to the next level.
You hit diminishing returns real fast with these. An image texture gets you 80% of the way there in 1% of the effort.
Ok so for some reason youtube decided I wanted to watch this, even though I only use blender for 3d modeling but hey. Now I want to make short films so there ya go.
Amazing tutorial bro. Your pacing is EXCELLENT. Keep it up!
One of the best tutorial on our planet! Awesome work Thanks!
Happy to see you mentioned CGMatter! Even though I watched his series, I STILL learned a lot from this tutorial! You guys are incredible, Blender is amazing and keeps impressing me every time!
Thanks Ian, can't wait for next tutorials!
Looks like you can do a one-shot film similar to 1917.
this is so awesome, using this right now and it's a complete lifesaver
Starting was mind-blowing like Hollywood films :-)
You know this stuff is advanced when Mr. Hubert has to spend 8 minutes instead of one. not even time for moths!
I’m a complete newcomer to Blender. Do his tutorials on patreon walk you through each step with him stating exactly what keys and buttons he’s pressing? Thank you
the brute-forcing camera track was something I never thought about!
this is a really good tutorial!
i like your vintage looking room! its probably the lighting
Also: The photo of the skyline used in the video is from São Paulo, the city where I live (:
That was so unbelievably helpful. Thank you so much Ian!!
Also is this how ALL studios do their VFX. Do they use the same techniques to combine cg with real life footage?
AH! I'm glad it's helpful!!! And you mean putting the footage inside the house? That's honestly a fairly unusual method, but since we have eevee, it's so fun to be able to see it all in real time (and it gives you more accurate reflections and stuff). It's a lot easier than rendering out the CG then comping the footage back in in After Effects or something like that, and it lets you comp things both in front and behind the footage fairly painlessly (I'm kind of inordinately delight by how well cutting out that window works).
@@IanHubert2 ah I see, interesting. Also, can you tell me how would one make a real life object interact with a CG object?
Like in the light saber video (in the very last) , you're holding that cg light saber, how is your hand being able to look like as if you're actually holding it, like the hand is over the light saber, so that part is hidden by your hand?
Thanks again!
Carbon X it's probably the same as with the ladder later in the video
@@carbonx95.08 Masking. To either cut out a bit of hand so it goes 'behind' something, or the opposite - cut out a bit of the CG. Go research. Go video. Go have fun. :D
@@carbonx95.08 he can track the light saber to his arm than mask the arm.
I had 0 interest in tracking tutorials, but I watched your video beginning to end because you are such a good teacher and a positive character I always smile when I watch your stuff. Now I want to tack something in blender! Thank you.
I went from solve error of 300 before the tutorial, to 1.6 following your auto track instructions and then down to a hot 0.3 with your cleanup instructions. Thank you very much!
