Hi , I looked up around on the forum and didn't find anything about how to import camera datas from my tracker software

I use syntheyes, there's a choice between 2 types of formats, specified for houdini, for camera data export : .clip and .cmd .

I guess thoses datas are supposed to be imported through a node in the camera network or soemthing like that, but I can't find the way to do it.

it would be really helpfull if someone could just explain me the usual way to do it and how I should use the plate video (is it a texture projection on a vertical grid or should I use it as a background, or whathev ; I handle that part pretty well with C4D but I don't really get the logic of houdini for this.)


thank you guys

cheers

You open an hscript textport, and

source mytrackingdata.cmd

Cheers,

J.C.

or just open the .cmd file generated by syntheyes in a text editor, Select all->Copy then Paste in a Houdini Textport..

Dragos

Or, just use the main menu … File > Run Script. Pick your .cmd file.

Or, just open cmd/shell and type: houdini mytrackingdata.cmd

Ah , of course!

thank you so much guys for answering those noobees questions
