‘Sculpey Dance’ – Tracked with Blender

Bart · June 26, 2012

Blender is earning a place in people’s workflows. Lucas Marquez uses Blender’s tracker in this funny short production.

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.

from what we can see on the video, I don’t think the rigging was done in Blender, cause the GUI is different between the rigging bit and the tracking bit. But to me it’s ok, cause it means he made the rig and then CHOSE to use Blender for the tracking.

    yeah it is maya, but lucas doesn’t know blender so we try to mix it up i used blender for tracking and then exported an Fbx to maya, he already had the rigging an animation done when we decided to put the character in an actual environment… i believe we can do entire projects in blender i just need my coleagues to get into blender =)

      we used mudbox for sculpting, and AE for compositing, blender is great we exported directly a jsx from blender to AE so there i put the logo in the table with the tracking done in blender :D… the music says “bangarang” … great skrillex song!

  yes i know they used maya for rigging, but i just thought it would be nice IF they used blender only for every thing. it can be done;)

    it would be… i’m trying to have my coleagues learn blender at the studio, but we’ll get there, for now i’ll just keep on doing whatever i can in blender… i’m not really much of a rigger… yet.
