@Dr-Sassi said in Gizmo not showing and cant move anything:

If that also happens in every new project file, you might have saved this as Default.
(Main Menu> Windows> Customized> Safe as Default Scene)

This one fixed it!
I had a customizes scene, still dont know why ist not working there...

Hello @Dr-Sassi!
I already tried this one, this normally fixes it.
Maybe the error helps you to identify the problem.
When I open Cinema it appears an error message with:
"ERROR:Could not activate res:5"

Is this connected with my Octane Render?

Hello there,
When I am in a new project, I am not able to clic on any objects. I can select anything from the obejcts tabs, but then the gizmo is not showing up and I cant rotate, scale and move the object. In the attributes panel, I can change any values, so no problem over there.

I am using C4D 2024.2.0

Any recommendations?

Best,
Georg

Hello @Dr-Sassi,

I understand, my situation isn't the best at the moment... but I'll make the best of it.
I have provided you with all the footage (https://we.tl/t-gHNrO8AdwK) that needs to be tracked. In these clips I only let objects fly through the air, so they don't interact with the ground.
I have the link for my Miroboard here (https://miro.com/welcomeonboard/akpPYzR0c0taeDlxSFduZVpGSDRSampSUHRXakhwNWQySHR3MmpnT3NhVloxcWxZbnVlTXJTa29iTTM0MFprRXwzNDU4NzY0NTIxNTUzMjgzNDIzfDI=?share_link_id=570805529948) , you can look at the storyboard there, it may not be the best in some places, but you can see the most basic things.
The only scene where I do something on the ground is the "platform" scene, where I let a train pass through (see storyboard).
I know it's asking a lot, but could you see if you can track it here? I'm just reaching my limits...
It's important not to use lens profiles so I can use the original footage and do the distortion correction in post.

Thank you very much for your help!!!

Hello @Dr-Sassi,

is there any chance we can have a talk?
Unfortunately, the problems I had at the beginning are reoccurring, even though I thought I had solved them. Unfortunately, I'm at the end of my know-how and would hate to abandon this project.

Could you do me a favor and try to track this footage? it's the raw footage, unedited, maybe they have a way.

many thanks for your help

Hello @Dr-Sassi,
sorry for the delay!
The lensprofile fixed my problem, thank you so much!!!!

BUT: Now I want either render my footage wit hthe correct distortion OR render my tracked objects with distortion to match it the footage. I found out about the technique to "de-distort" the image, but this only works using Standart renderer, I am using Octane. When I switch vom Standart to Octane the "Lens Distrotion"-Effekt disappears. What can I do to use my Lens profile in Octane?

Thanks

Georg

Hello @Dr-Sassi,

Thank you very much for your quick and detailed answer!

How can I save a lens distortion profile?

Unfortunately, I don't understand your point about the parallaxes because I'm not that deep into the subject.

How do I turn off the cloud tracker? Can I also solve this with a mask?

Unfortunately the footage is final, I can re-film it and improve it...

Sensor size and other data are available, I filmed with a GoPro Hero 10, in linear mode in 4:3 format. I then made optical compensation in AE. Is that smart, or should I leave the fishey and track with it?

What can I do to prevent the individual track points from “floating”?

The problem was also that I tracked manual points, they sat perfectly, but then "floated" after the solve process.

Thank you very much again!

Best,
Georg

Hello there

I use Cinema's motion tracking tool for my thesis.
Unfortunately, a few small problems occurred.

I have a video attached so you can get an idea of ​​what I mean.

My problem is that the keyframes at the beginning of the video don't track, then track reasonably well.
What can I do about it, where and what do I have to change to get a better result?

Many thanks for the help!
