This allows 3D artists to work with tracking and roto data in a new way and use the 2D data for 3D movement.
MochaBlend C4D
MochaBlend C4D requires at least release 14 of the Maxon tool. The plug-in imports the following data types into Cinema 4D: tracking and corner-pin data, as well as roto-shape and camera-solve data when using Mocha Pro. Further features include an integrated camera rig, a MochaBlend Solver and a “Roto to Camera-Mapped 3D Geometry” function.
The MochaBlend C4D plug-in costs 250 US dollars, with additional MochaBlend C4D support available for 50 US dollars. Imagineer Systems also offers a Special Upgrade Package for After Effects users who want to upgrade Mocha AE from Adobe Creative Cloud to Mocha Plus or Mocha Pro. The MochaBlend C4D + mocha Plus bundle is available for 445 US dollars, and the MochaBlend C4D + mocha Pro bundle for 1,045 US dollars.
MochaBlend for Blender
The MochaBlend plug-in for Blender has no integrated camera rig, MochaBlend Solver or “Roto to Camera-Mapped 3D Geometry” function, but it can convert tracking data into native point trackers and includes compositor stabilisation and rotoscoping features. MochaBlend Blender is available for around 40 US dollars.
Maya and 3ds Max Plug-in
A plug-in version for Maya is in development and is due to be released later in 2016. MochaBlend for 3ds Max will also be released, depending on the level of demand for the plug-in.
MochaBlend is developed by Good Spirit Graphics and distributed by Imagineer Systems.
