Why is 3d tracking such a pain?

Posted in: The Pad

Why is tracking such a pain? Boujou is fast compared to Voodoo (free and recently updated), but still reasonably slow both often require manual labor.

Some of you have probably seen it before, but someone wrote an app so that even an iPhone can do live 3d tracking.

Maybe not very accurate but hey it’s an iPhone.
Here is a demonstration with a normal computer:

VFX Talk Official STEAK Thread

Posted in: The Pad

So, We’ve posted 5 pages of BURGERS,… let’s get on to some steak!

My favorite steakhouse EVER has been Steak On A Stone in North Ridgeville, Ohio.

They bring out a near 800 degree slab of volcanic rock on a plate, and when they get to the table, they slap on a 12oz piece of Filet Mignon.

You cook it on the stone as you eat it, and by god, their steak sauces are the most amazing thing ever.

I’ve also heard that they have damn good burgers (which I posted in the burger thread, and thought to make this thread.)
