The download links below do not work anymore, but the course is viewable for FREE over at CG Cookie And if you plan on following other tutorials that I’ll be making here at OpenVisualFX, chances are they’re always going to involve tracking, so knowing this is essential. This course only deals with tracking from a compositor’s point of view. If you know how to track already in other programs, this is a great course to get up to speed with doing it all in Blender. As I tried to make clear in the title, it does not cover 3D camera solving or matchmoving. It’s about 2½ hours of training in total. So here is my 2D Tracking for Compositing in Blender course.
There’s no way I could do it better than they have.
They did a great job redesigning the site and setting up the learning flows, and they are the main reason I will be sticking to visual effects and not covering all of Blender in general. Those guys are great, and the new CGCookie is fantastic. Everything in the course is still extremely relevant, so I asked them if I could repost it here. However, when Wes, Jonathan, and the rest of the gang decided to redesign CGCookie from the ground up, this tracking course got filed away into the archives, where it can be download for free. The tutorial went up and got a great response. I would even argue it’s more fundamental than rotoscoping, because rotoscoping can be made much less tedious by knowing how to track things. Tracking really is one of the most fundamental things every compositor needs to know, as almost everything we do involves tracking of some type. This course was the beginning of that foundation.
So I thought it best to start with tracking. Tracking and rotoscoping are important enough to warrant focused training on their own. Not only tracking, but other basic skills, like rotoscoping, would slow us down. Of course I was tempted to jump right into the deep end and do some kind of complex vfx scene, but if we did that, I’d have to explain a lot of the tracking as the training progressed. I had a couple reasons for wanting to do a 2D tracking course.
