Animating Geometries with the Point Tracker			Loading Garbage Mask Setups from Autodesk Applications
Chapter 15, Secondary Colour Grading

You can load tracker and stabilizer data created with other Autodesk products (Flint, Flame, Inferno, Fire, Smoke, and Autodesk Combustion®) into Lustre. To import tracker and stabilizer data, you must export it from the applicable Autodesk product as an ASCII file, and then save it in the C:\Program Files\Autodesk\lustre 2009\settings\geompresets<version number> folder (Windows), or in the /usr/Autodesk/lustre2009/settings/geompresets directory (Linux). You can then load the garbage mask setup to the current secondary for use as a geometry.

Note: You must create the geompresets directory manually to store your raw setup files. However, if you have created a preset, the geompresets directory is automatically generated.

1. Save a tracker or stabilizer ASCII file from the applicable Autodesk product.

2. Do one of the following:

   • If using the Windows version of Lustre, store the ASCII file in the C:\Program Files\Autodesk\lustre 2009\settings\geompresets folder.

   • If using the Linux version of Lustre, store the ASCII file in the /usr/Autodesk/lustre2009/settings/geompresets directory.

3. In the Secondaries menu, enable the Secondary button that contains the geometry you want to track.

4. Enable Show.

   

   The geometries are displayed in the Player.

5. Click Tracker.

   

6. Click Point.

7. Right-click or middle-click the Secondaries menu to display the Presets list.

   

8. Expand Tracker Import, and then select the tracker or stabilizer file.

9. Click OK.

   The tracker appears in the Player and can be assigned to the points or axes of geometries.
