For around a week and a half, I attempted to 3D track some footage in Blender. Before doing this I had never used Blender before, so it was a steep learning curve. I ran in to many difficulties, such as keyboard shortcuts not working, and bad youtube tutorials. After getting some help from the tutors however, I managed to get blender to work for me.

 

Overall, I like how blender works, the workflow is simple to understand once I got a grip on it, and it’s more manipulable than After Effects. My plan is to use Blender in my final showreel, therefore I am going to keep practicing.

 

This is the tutorial I tried to follow, before abandoning it and going with Jon’s method.
