voldo_raviya

I'm making a futuristic city for a project in 3ds max.I want to place billboard type videos to faces of buildings just like in blade runner 2049.i textured buildings with glowing lights to get the global illumination of the buildings and put green tracker points in the middle of them.i rendered few frames and tried to track it in AE but the tracking goes haywire.am i doing anything wrong?how do i texture buildings so it is easier for tracking?what color tracking points are easier to track?I'm new to this and any help would be appreciated..thank you!

Why not do a second render pass with just tracking points?

If you are doing a 3d render why do you need to track the image? 

Just export the camera to after effects. 

here's a tutorial;

tracking an image is for when you have footage from the real world where you don't know the camera position

I love it! Moody and dark but with intimate moments below. I want to be down on those streets! Have you ever worked on a film?
