Post Processing
In the event that the end user is going to render and composite backgrounds in post, the various take data files (ASCII Collada) are processed though our Take Converter software, which enables the user to select specific ranges of data by timecode and format the output to suit the various 3D packages and post pipelines.
It turns out that almost every 3D system treats concatenated rotations slightly differently so the take converter also formats the output so everything matches.
Take data can also be used for post tracking systems such as Syntheyes and 3D Equalizer as seed tracking data, which dramatically simplifies the tracking and subpixel alignment of the 3D elements with the live action photography.
