Learn the art of mixing computer-generated objects into real-life footage with "Camera Tracking for VFX," a new online course from Escape Studios which delves deeply into the professional camera tracking techniques required by aspiring 3D artists. Taught by the world-renowned staff at Escape Studios, "Camera Tracking for VFX" covers background, workflows and best practices in a flexible online format that includes over 12 hours of video content.


"Camera tracking, also called match moving, is one of the most important and fundamental techniques for 3D artists to master," says Dominic Davenport, CEO and founder of Escape Studios. "Our 'Camera Tracking for VFX' course has been meticulously planned to provide students with a thorough professional grounding in the theory and techniques required for seamless camera moves."

The course covers software applications PFTrack 5 and Maya Live, part of Autodesk® Maya®, showing techniques that are applicable to all software packages. A basic understanding of Maya is required, but the course assumes zero prior knowledge of camera tracking and takes students to an advanced level.

After completing the course, students will be well-versed in tracking, solving and adjusting shots, as well as techniques for manipulating footage. A series of accompanying online videos is provided to clarify key lesson points, and students can experiment with included sample footage for hands-on learning.
