Using ProjectionSolver

ProjectionSolver helps you align 2D with 3D points. You can for instance align 2D images with a 3D model. The output from the ProjectionSolver node is a Camera node that matches with your 2D footage’s camera movement.

Quick Start

Here's a quick overview of the workflow:

1.   Connect your ProjectionSolver, Read, ReadGeo and other optional nodes. For more information, see Connecting the ProjectionSolver Node.
2.   Match your 2D footage and 3D model with locators (at least 6) and create keyframes for their movement through the frames of your footage. For more information, see Matching 3D Geometry with 2D Footage.
3.   Click SolveCamera. See Solving Your Camera.
4.   Refine your scene in the Viewer and use the RefineOutput and LiveUpdate controls to view the changes. For more information, see Refining the Solve.
5.   When you’re happy with your solve, click CreateCamera.
6.   You can also create Card nodes by clicking CreateCards to help you visualize your scene without scrubbing in the timeline. For more information, see Creating Cards.
