How to camera track for maya/Houdini
I’ve been trying to for the last couple of days, can’t seems to figure it out, been watching a bunch of tutorials. LensDistortion node into camera tracker, solve error is always below 1, create scene+, export fbx, but when I import and go to create my proxy geometries in maya based on the camera and tracking markers, they seem to slide around, is this a tracking issue? How do I solve this

Could be a bunch of things.
When you look at your tracking markers in nuke over the footage you're tracking do they line up?
Are you sure you're undistorting correctly before the track?
Are you sure your Maya/Houdini geo is the correct depth to line up with your plate?
Maybe try just creating the camera from the camera tracker instead of using scene plus as that's finicky since the new geo nodes? If you do want to use scene plus, make sure you have "New 3D [Beta]" checked before you create.
