In this workflow overview, we use GeoTracker for Houdini to turn a regular penguin into a proper gentleman by adding 3D props to live footage. It’s a great example of using the tool in a slightly non-standard way – tracking an animal's head instead of standard rigid object tracking. Huge thanks to David Torno @vfxman222 for creating this awesome workflow breakdown and preparing the materials for this video!
