mocha 4 Essential Training is an Intermediate level course on 3D + Animation, crafted by the creator, Ben Brownlee. This course is an absolute foundation for an individual who needs to sharpen his/her 3D + Animation expertise. It gives you a strong understanding on 3D + Animation, Compositing, Motion Graphics, Photography, Video, Visual Effects, mocha, 3D + Animation, Compositing, Motion Graphics, Photography, Video, Visual Effects and mocha.

mocha 4 Essential Training is designed to get you working quickly with Imagineer Systems’s powerful planar tracking tool. This project-based course teaches the core ideas that drive the entire mocha family of products, including mocha AE CC, mocha AE, and mocha Pro. Throughout this training, you will become more confident in when and how you use mocha to solve different challenges. Ben Brownlee covers the core modules, preferences, and useful keyboard shortcuts in mocha, and then dives into different planar tracking techniques: match moving, 3D camera solves, custom shape creation, rotoscoping, and more. He also offers a quick start guide and troubleshooting tips, and reviews the process for exporting mocha tracking data to programs such as After Effects, Apple Motion, Final Cut Pro, and Boris CC.

Topics include:

• Understanding the core modules in mocha
• Setting up preferences and organizing projects
• Understanding the planar tracker
• Using tracking data for different tasks
• Rotoscoping fundamentals
• Creating complex mask shapes efficiently
• Correcting for lens distortion in your footage
• Generating a 3D camera solve
• Exporting tracking data from mocha
