New features in the latest version of Andersson Technologies’ camera tracking software include:
– A system for analyzing lens grid images to generate presets. Following a new lens calibration process, users film a short clip of a lens calibration grid. Tools in SynthEyes parse and track that grid, then analyze the information to produce a lens preset that undistorts even fisheye lenses such as the popular GoPro HD.
– A placement tool simplifies coordinate system setup, positioning the solved scene automatically after examining the structure of the scene. The artist remains in control and can guide this tool, or modify its results.
– Improvements for symmetric and spot supervised trackers make their use easier and more accurate.
– Updated exporters include Blender 2.57 support, full-feature native Cinema 4D export, native AfterEffects Javascript export, Lightwave object/object+scene export, and Modo 501. These updates include the ability to export the textures produced by SynthEyes’s texture extraction/clean plate subsystem.
– A small sub-application allows the 64-bit Windows version to transparently read Quicktime files and use 32-bit codecs (a similar capability is built into OS X).
– Enterprise users can use a remote-control interface to connect to their in-house workflow automation systems, including products such as Shotgun.
