Tip
Physically removing unwanted reflections from your volume is preferable to masking, to ensure that you use all the pixels on your camera for 3D tracking.

If your camera view is not masked, you can see reflections represented by light pixels in the Cameras view. During masking, blue pixels are drawn in the Cameras view, enabling you to see how much of the view is masked.

  1. Ensure you have disabled or turned off any Pulsars and props that use active markers. Note that, to start masking, at least one camera must be contributing data.
  2. In the Workspace, select the Cameras view.

  4. In the Camera Calibration panel, under Masking, click Mask All.

    On the cameras, the status lights turn cyan while auto masking is in progress.
    Evoke starts tracking the data visible to each of the connected cameras. Any camera masks created are displayed as blue cells in the Cameras views for affected cameras. If no data is visible to a particular camera, Evoke does not create any masks for it.

  5. After about 5–10 seconds, click Stop.
  6. In the Cameras view for each camera, ensure that any unwanted reflections are eliminated. (Each view should either be completely blank or should contain some blue pixels.)
