Our friends at cmiVFX have release a free tutorial for using the Camera Calibrator in Cinema 4D. Pavel Zoch walks us through creating a match move with some live action footage by way of using Camera Calibration in Cinema and adds some 3D objects to the scene.
This is tougher than it sounds. Aside from all other aspects, we must not forget that the camera in your C4D scene must match the camera used to take the backplate photograph
The release of Cinema 4D R14 added the Camera Calibrator which allows you to simply draw lines or grids on top of back plate photography or footage and things like the perspective vanishing point, focal length and orientation will automatically be calculated from that simple user input. You are also able to add a pun to solve for the camera’s position and easily integrate 3D objects into the original scene.
