Connecting the PointCloudGenerator Node

To create a dense point cloud, PointCloudGenerator needs a Camera node with a solved camera path, either from CameraTracker or from a third party 3D application, and the tracked 2D footage.

To connect the node, do the following:

1.   Click 3D > Geometry > PointCloudGenerator.
2.   Connect the necessary nodes to the inputs:

• Source - the 2D footage from which the camera track was solved.

• Camera - the solved Camera node.

3.   If you want to mask part of the scene to avoid tracking moving objects or reflections, connect a matte to the Mask input. For more information about masking, see Masking Out Regions of the Image.
4.   Click Image > Viewer to insert a Viewer node and connect it to the PointCloudGenerator node.
5.   Proceed to Setting Keyframes in a Sequence.
