There is no doubt that the Mocha Pro remove module is a really useful tool in the VFX workflow and pipeline. Mocha Pro’s remove module is one of the features that set it apart from its bundled counterparts.
[pullquote]how to handle backgrounds that have more than one plane in the mocha Pro object remove module.[/pullquote]As long as you have a track, you can easily remove unwanted elements in your shot. The remove module requires three things to operate, a track, a mask, and a clean plate – it’s pretty much as simple as it sounds.
One of the things that might throw a wrench in the process is working across mutual planes. Mocha, being a planar tracker, works best with “planes” in the shot.
If your background has multiple planes, such as Martin’s example in the tutorial, how does one go about removing a foreground element from it?
Martin Brennand, Imagineer Systems‘ product manager, walks through the process in Mocha, showing how to complete a fairly common remove task in VFX.
