Axis3D Camera Tracking for iPhone

iOS iPhone

★ Create camera ROTATION TRACKING ONLY (NO TRANSLATION TRACKING) using your iPhone 4/4S
★ compatible with 3DS Max, Maya, Lightwave, Softimage, Cinema4D, Blender, After Effects and more.

★ ATTENTION TO PEOPLE THAT DON'T READ BEFORE BUYING ANG GIVE BAD REVIEWS SAYING THE TRANSLATION DATA OF THIS APP IS UNUSABLE. THIS IS NOT A MOTION TRACK APPLICATION. THIS IS A ROTATION TRACK APPLICATION. THIS IS A LIMITATION OF THE GPS TECHNOLOGY ITSELF, UNABLE TO TRACK ANY MOVEMENT WITHIN 10 METERS.

★ ATTENTION TO THOSE WHO DON'T READ THE LAST PARAGRAPH: THIS APPLICATION IS A ROTATION TRACKER, NOT TRANSLATION, JUST ROTATION. THERE'S NO MOBILE PHONE IN THE WORLD CAPABLE OF TRACKING SMALL TRANSLATIONS USING GPS TECHNOLOGY, BECAUSE GPS CANNOT READ MOVEMENTS WITHIN 10 METERS.

★
★ The camera ROTATION tracking for the rest of us
★

Shot 720p videos and capture camera rotation and acceleration (trepidation) in all 3 axes at the same time and export this information as a virtual camera to be used on your favorite 3D or 2D application.

Have you read that this app is UNABLE to track translation as the iPhone relies on GPS technology and GPS cannot detect small movements within 10 m range? But using the accelerometer this app is also able to detect trepidation that is different from translation.

Axis 3D® is a great tool to create camera ROTATION tracking backdrops for your favorite 3D or 2D application. As you shot your videos, Axis 3D® records the camera rotation and acceleration and store all data on industry level compatible files. You can THEN import everything on your favorite 3D or 2D animation software and create professional amazing stuff combining real and virtual objects.

You can use Axis 3D® to simulate real life situations like walking, earthquakes, camera or ground trepidation, bike or vehicles accelerations and use this to animate your 3D models or other objects making them behave like the real ones.

There are two ways to use Axis3D:
1) shooting the video and grabbing the tracking data with your iphone 4 or
2) strapping the iPhone to a high quality production camera and using just Axis3D's data, if you need higher precision.

========
NOTE: The most precise way to use Axis3D is strapping the iPhone on a high quality camera and use the application just to grab the data. Know why at: http://axis3d.addfone.com

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
Files created by Axis3D are compatible with at least the following applications and versions:
★ Autodesk 3DS Max 2011
★ Autodesk Maya 2011
★ Newtek LightWave 9.6
★ Autodesk SoftImage 2011
★ Blender 2.4 and 2.49 only**
★ Maxon Cinema 4D v.11
★ Adobe After Effects CS4
★ any 3D/2D app that can read Collada or Maya ASCII files

You can also have other uses for Axis3D. Imagine that instead of shooting a video and tracking its camera you want to animate a plane doing all sorts of wild movements, loops, spins, banks, trepidations, etc. Imagine doing all this by creating keyframes on a timeline of a 3D application. Now imagining grabbing an iPhone in your hand running Axis3D and using the iPhone as it was a plane. That's it. You import the data on your 3D application, transfer the animation curves to your model and that's it.

The only limitation is your imagination.

After 2.49, Blender has a bug that prevents Collada files from being imported correctly. Filled a bug on their site a year ago:http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498&aid=27128&group_id=9
