Have you ever wished you could make use of the rotation that Blender captures when Motion Tracking a feature? You're in luck, that's exactly what this tutorial is about. We are going to go over the steps to use a single tracking marker to create a plane track that can rotate as the marker does.
We will use some Python code to help us with one key step, and after that it's regular Blender work to build & apply the plane track.
