#Flic as background prob
3 messages in this thread
Howdy,
I'm using a flic as a background in the keyframer, and I'm trying to get the
proxy image to update with every frame. It only shows frame 1, no matter what
frame I'm on. I'm using 3DS ver. 4. Any suggestions?

that's the way it works, unfortunately. If you are doing some camera tracking
you might look at a file I uploaded which describes a technique I used. It's
cam-trak.txt in lib #3. I came up with a useful workaround.
Martin,
Thanks for the response. Your technique will definitely work, the problem is
we have to (nearly) match hundreds of keyframes. We are doing a sort of
homebrewed motion capture translation of a videotaped actor to an animated
character.
We shot an actor doing a series of moves against bluescreen wearing a dark suit
with reflective joints, and are using very low res edits of his moves to match
the IK character animation to. The charcter will be rendered in realtime (for
a videogame), so it's geometry is very low res.
I need some way to load every frame of the background proxy in correspondence
with every keyframe, automatically. I'm sure there would be a way to script a
routine to do it, but I'm no programmer…
Thanks,
Grady
