This is a breakdown of a study I did using keen tools facial tracker. The main goal of this was to gain an understanding of the tool and be able to integrate an interesting visual onto a live action backplate.

I used a combination of Keen Tools, Houdini, Substance painter and rotoscoping in Nuke to create the final look.

Overall I am happy with the final image of this project and think it was an effective tool that was relatively easy to pick up and integrate. However, I do feel that the track itself could use some refining toward the end as there is some slight slipping.
