SynthEyes™ Feature Summary
For more information about match-moving: what it is, how to use it; see our special introduction page.
- Stand-alone Windows ME/2000/XP program (runs under VPC7).
- Fully automatic match-moving for straightforward shots.
- Rapid supervised tracking for difficult tracks.
- Blending at tracker keys, with efficient supervisory workflow.
- Wizard to clean up supervised tracks.
- Mix supervised and automatic tracking on the same shot, including guide trackers.
- Multi-shot batch processing for unattended operation.
- Object discrimination with animated splines or alpha-key rotoscoping.
- Multiple cameras and moving objects with simultaneous solving, including mixes such as tripod-mounted camera with moving object, or a video shot plus digital camera reference stills.
- Merge tracked files.
- Can compute camera pan/tilt and tracker directions when camera was mounted on a tripod (ie computes a 2-D track because 3-D is not possible).
- Fixed (known or unknown) or zooming lens field of view.
- Manual or automated lens distortion compensation.
- Flexible coordinate system alignment controls.
- Refine previously-computed solutions, for rapid tweaking.
- Post-solve camera path filtering.
- Light solver to determine light position or direction from ray or planar geometry.
- Tracker and camera/object graph viewports (~animation curve).
- Scrubbable and real-time RAM Buffer Playback with 3-D CG object overlays.
- Imports: AVI, DV, MPEG, QuickTime™ (Apple) MOV, sequenced Targa, JPG, TIFF, BMP, PNG, Cineon, SMPTE DPX, SGI RGB.
- Any practical resolution, image or pixel aspect ratio (no resolution limits)..
- Exposure control and 16 bits/channel for selected incoming imagery types.
- Exports via SIZZLE™ output scripting language, so you can modify existing exporters, or add new ones.
- Included exporters for MAXscript (3ds max, 3D Studio VIZ); Maya scene file; dotXSI; Lightwave, Inspire 3D, Maxon C4D, (these three via .LWS); Houdini; Blender; Hash Animation: Master; Discreet Flame/Inferno; After Effects; Combustion; Shake (3.0, 3.5); Nuke; FLAIR motion control cameras; Electric Image (some features); trueSpace; Digital Fusion (single 2-D trackers). Sample exports available. If you are keen on a certain export and are willing to help, see what is needed to develop new exporters.
- Configurable keyboard mapping.
- Configurable viewport configurations.
- Configurable coordinate system definition (Max, Maya, LW, etc).
- Configurable color scheme.
- Floatable control panel.
