viewport chromakey

so im lookng fwd to using eevee to create realtime environments to be composited with real footage, what would be really fantastic to help this job would be a simple real time chromakey and mask tool for the viewport so we can load green screen footage over our scene, line it the camera angles to suit without prekeying and rendering. would be suuuuuper useful for all sorts of vfx tasks to which eevee is so well suited...

I believe he's looking for something like this:

Obviously with the addition of "Green Screen" functionality.

* @mcolinp * Yes and getting the Tracker to analyse a live camera shot to sync the virtual camera with the source video camera would be great too.

As Eevee and Cycles lack the ability to do a cheap (fast) blur I don't think we will ever geta chromakeyer node. You need the blur to do choke and erode functions

I think this ties into ideas regarding real time compositing. Which is somewhere on the agenda next to "everything nodes" (read as: Don't count on it soon)

For now, you have a couple of options:

  • You can just press the F12 key (once your composite is setup).
  • You can key your footage & save it, then insert that saved stuff as a camera background image, for real time playback/alignment. Combine with the above for what you, in effect, are asking for.
