#AskTheTrainer | Integrating 3D objects into live action footage

Join us for another exciting #AskTheTrainer session on Thursday 25th August 2022 at 8am Pacific, as Cinema 4D Master Trainers Noseman and Jonas Pilz are going to talk about the steps you need to take in order to integrate 3D objects into live action footage. You will learn about Camera Tracking inside Cinema 4D, the Camera Calibration tag for stills, light estimation and rendering.
