ID 415721 - The CameraTrackerPointCloud export option within the CameraTracker node does not allow for mesh creation

Follow

Problem summary
When using the CameraTrackerPointCloud export option created by the CameraTracker node, when attempting to create a mesh from the point cloud using a PoissonMesh node, you will receive the following error.



This error occurs as the generated CameraTrackerPointCloud node does not create the normal data required for the PoissonMesh node.

Customer reported version
nuke.n/a

Customer reported platform

Steps to reproduce
Open attached script and view results

or

1) Read in source footage, and use the CameraTracker node create a track.

2) When you have the intended track result, export as 'Point cloud'


3) Connect the created CameraTrackerPointCloud node downstream from the CameraTracker node

4) Create a PoissonMesh node downstream of the CameraTrackerPointCloud node
Result: Error and mesh not created from PossionMesh node

Expected behaviour
Mesh should be able to be generated from the CameraTracker's point cloud export node

Actual behaviour
Mesh unable to be generated from the CameraTrackerPointCloud node

Workaround
This issue is isolated to the CameraTrackerPointCloud node. As an alternative, you can use the PointCloudGenerator node to get the correct results using the following steps:

a) Create a Camera exported from your above processed CameraTracker node
b) Create a PointCloudGenerator node connecting into the source footage
c) Connect the Camera node into the PointCloudGenerator nodes' 'camera' input
d) Within the PointCloudGenerator node add the keyframes as needed and Analyse Sequence
e) Also within the PointCloudGenerator node, tweak the 'Track Threshold', then 'Track Points'
f) Create a PoissonMesh node downstream of the PointCloudGenerator node
Result: Mesh is correctly created from point cloud information
