Hi, thanks so much for the quick reply and all the effort.
On Saturday I went through the rotoscoping workflow with a lot of trackers and it already worked quite well. I also added a bit of animation to the mesh, and this week I’ll test whether I can achieve believable results. In the end, it’s really a learning experience for me how to handle material this challenging material. The Camera Calibrator tool is also very helpful. I’ll check out the other project files as well, thank you!

Hi, I’m trying to track the Monorail (tracking file+footage attached).

The problem is that the footage isn’t ideal. I think the camera motion tracking is more or less okay, but the object-tracking of the monorail doesn’t really work because it isn’t consistently and fully visible.

The mesh is only there to capture some rough reflections in the end - my goal is to wrap 3D fairy lights around the train.

I’m taking care of masking etc. in After Effects; what I really need is a reasonably solid object-track of the train for the 3D fairy lights.

Maybe there are some dirty tricks to achieve this. I’ve tried simply animating the train by hand and even playing with animating the focal length, but that didn’t really work either.

Thanks in advance!
