Spherical Tracking Toolset

Your fast track to creating incredible 360° content for VFX, VR, games and more. This toolset comprises of three brand new nodes: Spherical Track, Spherical Orient and Spherical Render.

• The Spherical Track Node – A fast, streamlined solution for tracking and solving the full equirectangular image from 360° cameras. The node tracks six cameras at once from the equirectangular panorama, all aligned and contained in the same scene, which is then passed downstream through the node tree, opening up the full potential of PFTrack’s renowned feature set.
• The Spherical Orient Node – Stabilise the camera rotation of your spherical track, as well as re-orient your panorama and focus your front view on animatable look-at points.
• The Spherical Render Node – Finally render your new equirectangular panorama, which used alongside tracking data from the six cameras, offers VFX artists a fully equipped spherical toolset for 360° content creation at their fingertips.
