PFhoe is a powerful tracking application that provides a simple to use, intuitive interface for both beginner and professional VFX artists.
When doing effects work, one of the things you’ll encounter is to seamlessly combine a live action background shot with a computer-generated foreground element. Using core technology developed in PFTrack - the industry leading tracking and analysis system - PFhoe allows everyone to have a powerful tracking application on their desktop.
Using a proven interface design we have de-mystified automatic tracking. You no longer have to struggle to match your CG with your footage nor do you need a maths degree - simply load in your shot and you are ready to track.
PFhoe provides a great place to start when tracking shots and learning the ropes and PFhoe's Tools like the unique Import Wizard guides you through importing and setting up your footage by explaining the parameters that are needed to successfully track a shot.
