Combining DAZ Models with video.

OrionPax09

I like the idea of being able to combine DAZ animations with real life videos. Is there a product that would allow a person to run a video through DAZ Studio so as to set up models to interact with it?

The easiest way to do it is render as an image series with an alpha channel and post edit it in a program like Hitfilm 3 express which is free using Chromakey.

Or something like Sony Vegas, Adobe premier etc  if you own it.

you can superimpose the alpha video series on any video or image series and translate it around in Hitfilm, add other effects and masking

 Cinegobs keyer is another good free Chromakey software.

It's kind of complex, uses the VooDoo program externally, and a few scripts mCasual wrote to basically allow you to match up camera motion to live footage, and also set up placement of 3D objects into the scene.

But it can produce some very convincing 3D rotoscoped animations!
