A few notes on the tracking process.

Here are a couple of vids that show the green box gun; the tracking points and some in promptu acting from Pete (note the war face).
In this vid we see masking tape being stuck onto the gun. As it happened we found a problem with the shininess of the tape (you can see it on 48 secs) this made us loose a fix on the points in the software. Poster paint or sticky fuzzy felt would be a lot better.
This clip shows filming with the P2 and the gun itself being waved around by Pete. We had to reducethe frame rate on the camera because of the flickering of the flourescent lighting. This area had great light and the distance we needed to see if we could pick up on the tracking points on the gun.

Sparks and smoke.

Today i have been playing around with Maya fluid dynamics. This is to create some gunsmoke. I have had a bit of success; but i still have to look into how to feather the edges and how to distort/ transform it.
