PointsTo3D

Use the PointsTo3D node to calculate the 3D location of a 2D point in an image sequence using the parallax between two or three tracked points.

Attach an image and its corresponding tracked camera to the PointsTo3D node inputs. Select the 2D point you want to calculate, place A on that point at a particular frame and click set frame. Now, change the frame to a different camera angle and specify that same 2D feature with B and click set frame. Repeat for point C, again on a different frame. Click calculate to generate the point in 3D space as well as that point converted back to screen space.
