thanks

Very nice tutorial, enjoyed it a lot!
thanks a lot I appreciate it

thanks for the support, the reason I used a framehold instead of clicking ‘all’ on the strokes is more for keeping the script running faster. The more paint or clone strokes you have the slower your script will run as it is very CPU intensive so I found using a framehold is a much more efficient way of doing it. Thanks for the comment though I appreciate the support.
Good tut. In the rotopaint you could have just selected all instead of single when you selected your clone tool. Then you wouldn’t have to add the extra frame hold nodes.
thanks for the comment you have a fair point, the planar tracker and 3d tracker are only available in NukeX. Generally I will try to use as little software as possible to get the job done to stop having to render multiple versions out etc so I will try to use as many Nuke tools as possible but mocha is an amazing planar tracker and generally when Nuke fails at planar tracking I always go to mocha as it is a bit better at planar tracking in my opinion. Thanks again for the comment I appreciate it
Good tutorial but the title should be Using NukeX’s planar tracker. This tool is not available in standard Nuke. NukeX is much more expensive than the standard version. Sticking with the cheaper After Effects and Mocha.
you can do this to, I just like to do it the way I said on the tutorial. Sometimes the motion blur on the corner pin can be temperamental
couldn’t you just use the motion blur inside of the CornerPin node to get motion blur on the replacement?
i’ve got a question for all my fellow Nuke users.
why is it when i open the project file i get an “read error permission denied” or “no such file or directory”
it happends with all project files.
Fxphd, Digital tutors, Lynda Etc…
Thanks for the comments I appreciate it, I will hopefully be uploading the new Planar Tracker Tutorial 2 so check back tomorrow and thanks again
Great tute bro.
yeah I know Mocha is a lot better for Planar Tracking the usual way is if it can be done quickly in Nuke do that but if its not working in Nuke and is more complicated use mocha lol. I will do a future tutorial on mocha as its a really good tool.
thanks for the comment though all comments are much appreciated
mocha wld be a good suggestion
Thanks for the comment I appreciate it and keep up the good work on your channel to.
Good stuff man. Well explained. Its good how you not only explain how to use the software, but where and why we use it. Keep it up dude!
