| Add 3D Objects to Videos with Voodoo Camera Tracker Posted: 11 Aug 2012 03:30 PM PDT
Voodoo Camera Tracker is a free tool which you can use to create and insert 3D virtual objects into actual videos created with your camera. Film studios use this type of 3D video editing software all the time, only of course it’s much more sophisticated. For a novice, Voodoo Camera Tracker is more than enough, especially if you do not have a lot of experience with this type of video editing.
What you see on the image above is the default interface of Voodoo, well not exactly the default because as you can see we already have an image sequence opened and the 3D modeling toolbox which you can see on the left has to be activated, it’s not there when you start using Voodoo. As you my have noticed, we said image sequence was opened because you cannot open videos directly inside Voodoo Camera Tracker, they first have to be converted into image sequences, supported formats for image sequences which can be opened are:
Conversion of videos into image sequences can be achieved with the help of programs like VirtualDub, also a free video editor. Importing image sequences isn’t very difficult thing to accomplish, what is a bit more difficult is creation, importing and manipulation of 3D objects on the opened video. Similar software: P3do Explorer, Online 3D Modeling 3DTin, Prefab3D. How to add 3D objects to videos with Voodoo Camera TrackerFirst step would be to open up the video where you would like to add the 3D object, do this by clicking on File >> Open >> Sequence. Select only the first image in the sequence and Voodoo will load the rest of them automatically.
As you can see on the image above we are drawing a cube in the upper left corner of the video screen. We are using the Modeling Tools available to us on the left which have to be activated by selecting View >> Modeling Tools. With the help of these tools you can for example create a 3D logo similar to the one used by TV stations on their channels. Most of you will probably want to load your own 3D model, you can do that by selecting File >> Open >> Import 3D Object. File format that models have to have is STL, the Stereo Lithography format. There’s also a 3D preview of the models and the video available:
Camera is here present, cameras are used as in any other 3D modeling application for recording of the montage with the newly added models. Position of it can be changed, so you can shoot at different angles. Exporting is possible in the following formats:
ConclusionCombining virtual and real scenes can come in very handy in a number of different situations, we mentioned two, when you want to add logos to videos, or when you want to create special effects with imported models. Download Voodoo Camera Tracker for free. Related posts:

| Free Duplicate Image Finder: Picture Relate Posted: 11 Aug 2012 11:00 AM PDT
Picture Relate is a free image software which you can use in order to find similar looking photos and duplicates, within large image collections. Finding images that look the same with eyes can take a lot of time, especially if there’s a lot of them, when we for example bring photos from our vacation, and there are several sets of images from several locations, the beach, the walk in nature and so on. If you want to isolate only beach photos, you’d have to do it by hand, with Picture Relate you might not have to.
Notice that we said you might not have to, because Picture Relate isn’t exactly a precise piece of software, not by its own fault of course. Finding duplicate photos is not an easy task, it takes a decent amount of brain power even for us to separate all the different traits that sets of different pictures have, so it’s no wonder that Picture Relate will not work every time. Interface of this free duplicate photo finder is very easy to follow, as you can see there are two toolbars, where all the features that Picture Relate has to offer can be found, things like:
These can all be found in Picture Relate and in order to use these tools, you don’t have to be a savvy image professional, because everything can be done in just a few mouse clicks. Similar software: Duplicate File Finder, 5 Free Visual Comparison Software, AntiTwin. How to find duplicate photos with Picture RelateOn the image above, the main work area of Picture Relate is empty, that’s because we haven’t imported any photos. You can open single images or you can load entire directories, which you should do, because it’s gonna save time. Click File >> Import Directory, locate the directory that you want to open and open them.
We cheated a bit, we copied the same photos, changed their names and then returned them to their main directory. Normally duplicates wouldn’t be this perfectly similar but for the purposes of this test this is more than enough of a setup. Notice that there are 2 photos which aren’t the same. We’re gonna see if when we use Picture Relate to find duplicates, to see if it’s gonna pickup on these 2 images which don’t have a pair. To search duplicate photos, click on the Search Duplicates in the lower toolbar:
Settings window which you can see on the image above is gonna pop up. There you can adjust all the different criterias that images have to have, you can search images based on:
But next to these there’s also the Picture Relate image scanner which is gonna analyze photos based on how they look, which is what makes Picture Relate very useful. With it you can save time and isolate duplicate photos more easily. Best thing about this free duplicate image finder would be the price, which is free, download it now and see how good Picture Relate really is. No related posts.

A lot of people don’t like the new Windows 8 Style UI, and if you’re one of them, or if you are a Windows 7 user that would like to see something modern looking, for touch screens, similar to the Windows 8 interface but not quite the same, you should give Immersive Explorer a try.
There are a lot of similarities between the new user interface of Windows 8 and Immersive Explorer, as you can see from the image above. Tiles which can be seen in Immersive Explorer are not the same as tiles which you get in the future version of Windows. They are actually folders and system locations. Here the tiles are representing filesystem links, to My Documents, Profile folder links or to disk partitions and optical drives. Tiles here are not apps or anything like that, they are actually files, and the entire focus of Immersive Explorer is on file managing.

files and folders that you have stored on your computer. Files are gonna be opened in their respective applications, just like they would be when you double click on them inside Windows Explorer.
In the upper left corner there are navigational arrows, and notice on the image above that folders which have images contained within them will show floating image previews, Desktop folder has an image floating. In-built image viewer allows you to view your photo collections in a new and interesting way:
Images can be navigated easily with the left and right navigational buttons, or you can open them fullscreen in a slideshow. If you want, you can activate the taskbar so that you can see the system tray and also so that you have access to the Windows Start menu.
