      Hope you enjoyed your vacation !

      First, about Voodoo, it generated a text file and it works. But as you saw, the wrong thing is that it didn't correctly find horizon... But I didn't manage to fix it.

      Then, I tried Boujou. It's much more flexible and userfriendly. It generates several kind of files. But its txt is not the same as Voodoo.

      You'll find attached both Voodoo and Boujou txt files from the same tracking test movie.

        The picture is unclear. To me it looks like the camera path is oriented correctly with the model axes. It looks your "flat" plane and person component are the things that are wrong. The blue axis should be pointing upwards, but in your image, it is slanted, which is wrong. But I'm probably just not understanding what I'm seeing.

        As for Boujou, sounds good. I'll see if I can look at it. How quickly do you need it? I'm really swamped. But I might be able to get you something simple.

        Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter.

          Well, with Voodoo, something is wrong (even in 3D viewer), not only axes. It's really "skieve" as we'd say in my country. I mean, even while switching axes, it's still skewed.

          I would need it for post production, so first week of February. But I absolutly don't want to bother you ! If you are overbooked, don't waste your time for me !
          If I still have problems with 3D tracking, we'll work in 2D tracking, and that's it.

          Whatever, thank you for interest.

            Hi Chris

            This plugin is great! Thanks so much for writing it.

            I was wondering though if there is a way to make the imported pointcloud match the model, instead of pasting the model into the point cloud.

            I have found it nearly impossible to match large models to the point cloud. A easy way to do this would be to make the camera data align with the existing models axis.

            If you can alter that, I would find this plugin endlessly useful.

            Thanks again. πŸ˜„
