So it’s transparent but it shows shadows, that’s how shadow catchers work. And the material option regarding shadows is that it receives shadows only. The shadow catcher is a solid layer that has material options because it’s in 3D. And I wanted first to create a shadow catcher camera and light. I want to get something that kind of skews down the aisle here.Ĭlick on that. It’s somewhere down there.Īll right, so make the track point size and the target size large by just dragging that and pressing the “Shift.”Īs I drag it, it makes it drag faster, make the targets bigger, there we go. If I take it back down 100 percent and that 100-you can barely see the target too.
The reason the target’s large is I’ve already made it large.
So I’ll make them more visible by increasing the size of the track point. The targets are ok but the little spots are barely visible. So we’ll see if they stay sharp this time or not.Ĭlick on the video to make it active. This gets a little tricky and the last time I did, the shadows didn’t behave properly, they remained sharp. I want to simulate that there’re some shadows here so it would be weird for the text to be floating up against the vines without having some shadows fall on them. Because I know the sun is coming from the left so the shadows here are falling on the ground. We will go to the last one here, this is a little bit different because we’re going to use a shadow catcher on this one. Note: Remember to watch the video tutorial, you will understand easier what Jeff does. So let’s start talking about 3D Tracking with Shadow Catcher.
We have already figured out how to create simple motion tracking in After Effects. Welcome to the second blog post of our tracking motion series. 3D Tracking? Shadow Catcher? Seems interesting, right?
