§ Use
all software’s auto track results in same project.
§ Use advantage features of
some tracking software’s in other software’s. (e.g. 3DE’s marker
track mode)
§ Maya is not final part of
pipeline, use it in the middle of process.
§ Work on 2d tracks,
2dProjections or solved Maya scenes of tracking software’s.
§ you can collect all data in
which software you want, and solve there.
How to use 3d Tracking Software's for
Import&Export.
3D Equalizer
Import 2D Tracks in 3D Equalizer Import_Multiple_Tracks Tcl on Tcl Scripts button.If you don't
have it can be downloaded on
Import_Multiple_Tracks.3detcl
Explanation by owner :
"This scripts expects to import a special ASCII file. This file
contains 2D tracking curves and point identifiers.
If no point object with respective identifier exists, then a new point
object is created and the respective
2D tracking curve will be associated to it. If a point object with the
same identifier already exists, its 2D
tracking curve will be replaced with the one found in the ASCII file."
Export 2D Tracks in 3D
Equalizer Export_Multiple_Tracks Tcl on Tcl Scripts button.If you don't
have it can be downloaded on
Export_Multiple_Tracks.3detcl
Explanation by owner :
"The 2D tracking curves and identifiers of the currently selected
points, tracked in the currently
selected sequence will be written into a special ASCII file."
Export Backprojections as
Tracks in 3D Equalizer Export_Backprojection_Curves Tcl on Tcl Scripts button.If you
don't have it can be downloaded on Export_Backprojection_Curves.3detcl
Explanation by owner :
"The backprojected 2D tracking curves ("green crosses") of all selected
points of the currently selected pointgroup,
tracked in the currently selected sequence are written into a single
ASCII file."
PFTrack
Import 2D Tracks in PFTrack 2d Tracks have own file format. *.2dt (Human Readable)
Explanation by owner :
"Load 2D tracking positions as user or auto-features. The format of the
tracking file must be the same as the files generated by the 2D
tracking export plugin:
“feature name”
<number of frames>
<frame number> <x> <y> <residual>"
Export 2D Tracks
and 2D Backprojections in PFTrack 2d Tracks have own file format. *.2dt (Human Readable)
Backprojections have own file format. *.3dt (Human Readable)
Explanation by owner :
"Right-click on either the ‘Tracking Exports’ entry in the Shot
Overview,
or on an existing export name to display a popup menu with the
following options:"
Boujou
Import 2D Tracks in Boujou Import 2d Tracks' file type is *.txt (Human
Readable).
Explanation by owner :
"It
is possible to import a text file containing 2D track data. You can
either import all the feature tracks that you need,
or just import a small number of good ones and then feature track
again. You can import feature tracks at any time."
Export 2D Tracks and 2D
Backprojections in Boujou Export file type is *.txt (Human Readable).
Explanation by owner :
"Raw feature tracks and 3D predictions can all be exported as 2D
tracks. Exporting 3D predictions as 2D tracks has
the added benefit of providing you with tracks that last for the entire
length of the sequence. There are several format options
to allow you to export the 2D tracks to suit your compositor. The
tracks can be scaled to that you can transfer the tracks
between projects of different resolutions."
SynthEyes
Import 2D Tracks in SynthEyes Import 2d Tracks' file type is *.txt (Human
Readable).
Explanation by owner : "The File/Import/Import 2-D Tracker Paths
import can be used to read the output of the 2-D exporter, or from
other programs as well.
The import script offers a similar set of controls to the exporter:
After each tracker is read, it is locked up. You can unlock and modify
it as necessary. The tracking data file contains only the basic path
data,
so you will probably want to adjust the tracker size, search size, etc.
If you will be writing your own tracker data file for this script to
import,
note that the lines must be sorted so that the lines for each specific
tracker are contiguous, and sorted in order of ascending frame number.
This convention makes everyone’s scripts easier. Also, note that the
tracker names in the file never contain spaces,
they will have been changed to underscores.
Export 2D Tracks and 2D
Backprojections in SynthEyes Export file type is *.txt (Human Readable).
Explanation by owner :
"The 2-D tracks box controls whether or not the raw 2-D tracking data
is output; this is not necessarily mandatory, as you’ll see.
The 3-D tracks box controls whether or not the 3-D path of each tracker
is included―this will be the 2-D path of the solved 3-D position,
and is quite smooth. In the example, 3-D paths are exported and
2-D paths are not, which is the reverse of the default. When the 3-D
paths are exported,
an extra Suffix for 3-D can be added to the tracker names; usually this
is _3D, so that if both are output, you can tell which is which.
Finally, the Extra Points box controls whether"
Movimento
Importing
2D Tracks in Movimento Import 2d Tracks' file type is *.rz2 (Human
Readable).
Explanation by owner :
If you have a REALVIZ Ascii Point
Tracks RZ2 file containing data on point tracks, you can import it into
Movimento®.
Tip: If you have re-scaled the film, the points are re-scaled
when you import them to match the new resolution of the images.
Export 2D Tracks in Movimento Export 2d Tracks' file type is *.rz2 (Human
Readable).
Explanation by owner :
Use
the procedure in Exporting a project and from the Save
as type drop-down list,
select Point Tracks (.rz2) . Movimento® exports only the point tracks of the
current sequence.
Tip: If you have several sequences you must change the current
time to export the point tracks of each sequence.
You
can edit this file then re-import it into Movimento®.
The file created contains four object type descriptions, the tracks,
the computed 2D points,
the keys and the sequence corresponding to the file (a file equals a
sequence).

For
each track:

Maya Live
Import 2D Tracks in Maya Live Import 2d Tracks' file type is *.txt (Human
Readable).
Explanation by owner :
"If the shot was tracked previously, you can load the tracked data,
provided it follows a specific format.
The tracked point file must follow a specific
format:
# Size [image width] [image height] [device aspect]
# Pixels
# Name [pointname]
[pointnumber] [framenumber] [xlocation] [ylocation]
[error]"
Export 2D Tracks in Maya Live Export 2d Tracks' file type is *.txt (Human
Readable).
Explanation by owner :
"Exporting track points is intended for situations when you need to
start over with a new scene, but you want to use the track data you
already created.
For example, to use a version 1.5 file in Maya Live 2.0, you must
export the track points and import them into a new scene."
