Hello guys,
I posted this question in Odforce, just wondering if you had an idea as well.

In 3dequalizer (V3 Release 6b2_D1),I did motion tracking to a pencil with 6 point track shot on 3 different cameras. When I went to check the orientation of the track, it looked ok on 3dequalizer. I then exported it to Houdini. And there, when I imported the tracking information, the tracking point matched the background footage exactly except in one thing:
Altough the tracking information was syncronized, the 3d pencil was moving in a different direction then the background footage pencil.
Did you guys came across with this problem before? What can I be missing?

Thanks to the suggestion of a fellow odforce user, I also did a test with the 3d equalizer facial tracking tutorial, and still had the same problem when importing it to houdini: the points are offset with the background reference footage.

Here goes the the 3dequalizer project (the same as the tutorial), the 3dequalizer export file, and the houdini project.

I exported the front camera, and used the front camera footage as reference in Houdini.

If you guys know what might be wrong…

Thanks in advance
Tiago

I found out a way of doing what I wanted, here's what I posted on odforce in case anyone else is interested:

“I don't know what's happening with the mocap tutorial when I import it to Houdini, but anyway, I found out a way of doing what I wanted. In the motiontracking environment I modified the preferences of the pointgroup. Instead of being ”Mocap Group“, I specified the pointgroup type to be ”object group“.
I calculated all objects from scratch and then imported it into houdini. The points matched the object and followed it correctly. However, this only worked for my pencil track test, but not quite for the ”mocap tutorial footage“.
But since I wanted to track rigid objects, it's working fine now (I think).”
