The latest 2023.2 update from KeenTools has brought forth the GeoTracker for Blender in an open beta format. Having already proven its mettle in Foundry Nuke and After Effects, GeoTracker’s expansion into Blender is a testament to its versatility and efficacy.
But what exactly does GeoTracker bring to the table?
GeoTracker stands out by allowing users to replicate the motion of live-action elements seamlessly within a 3D space. This capability ensures that artists and animators can integrate real-life elements into their shots without juggling multiple software.
GeoTracker for Blender comes packed with versatile functionalities. It supports geometry-based object and camera tracking while enabling direct alignment of 3D objects and cameras within Blender. Users have the convenience to apply textures to 3D models from videos, benefiting from a user-friendly workflow. This tool can intuitively gauge focal length, manage zoom shot tracking, and delivers both 2D and 3D masking options. When integrated with KeenTools’ FaceBuilder add-on, head tracking gets a boost. Additionally, its adaptability extends to pipelines beyond Blender.
During its beta phase, GeoTracker for Blender can be accessed for free.
