Learning to Track..

I found the lecture at college hard to follow, it wasnt explained properly. So I decided to do some research into this, and found MatchMover and Toxik - the two programs which came with Maya 2010 would help with tracking.

I then did the tutorials that came WITH the packages, and found it was easier to use then MayaLive on its own. So I've decided it would be sensible to use matchmover,, rather then MayaLive, to save time. Its also mentioned in the brief I believe, Im actually surprised we didnt get taught anything on MatchMover or Toxik. It was MADE for compositing..

I personally installed Maya 2010 because I upgraded my OS for my MacBookPro after getting it back from the applestore its been kind of weird. Some of my fellow students refused to installed Maya 2010 for they've been working on their digital environment project very hard, and didnt want problems involving new sofeware failures and such. However, just the other day, we got told we actually NEEDED maya 2010 and that tracking may crash our systems and stuff, their were many people struggling with tracking on maya 8.5.. probably a bug? if so.. WHY warned the everyone so late into the term? Many people were panicing over this matter.. I feel really bad for them.. =(

The Timing this term has beeen terrible.
