How to place 3D models in video (easy)
in this video, I'm gonna show you a simple and easy camera tracking technique for placing a model in footage using Video Copilot plugin Element 3D.
Tips -
1) set ground plane for better results.
2) use ambient occlusion for realistic shadow.
3) create a light in the direction where is the source light in the footage, it could be different in every video (reference the shadows).
4) put a minor blur on models for remove artificial sharpness.(0.5 pixels of fast blur also works for FHD footage)
5) use motion blur and increase the motion blur samples from the render options.
6) use environment maps for realistic results.
7) use detailed analysis camera tracking, that gives more tracking points.
