Hi
I have a match move camera which came from Syntheyes. Ive imported
the exported .cmd file into Houdini and some geometry generated from the various track points. I have little experience in setting this up in Houdini but I assumed I import my back ground images then the frame which I hope to project. This happens to be the last frame of the sequence. Do I use two camera's one to project and one to render from. I can seem to set everything from one camera using info from this forum but if anyone could help me with this process it would be much appreciated. Im trying to remove an object from the background which has been painted out on the last frame as a separate element.

Many thanks

Simon

The technique you're describing is def. possible in Houdini.

This thread over at odforce has a lot of nice info about ways of setting this up.
