Enhanced 3D Tracking Instruments for Artists Using Adobe After Effects, Now Offered as SynthEyes
SynthEyes 2024.1, the latest update from Boris FX, brings significant improvements to 3D tracking workflows, particularly for users working with After Effects and other compositing tools.
Direct Support for SynthEyes Lens Models
The update offers direct support for all SynthEyes lens models, including animated distortion and off-center lenses. This enhancement improves accuracy for diverse camera setups, ensuring precision in your tracking results.
Exporting 3D Meshes and Textures
SynthEyes 2024.1 introduces the ability to export 3D meshes and textures directly into After Effects. This streamlines the workflow from tracking to 3D compositing or modeling applications, saving you valuable time and effort.
Improved Export Logic for Trackers
The update also includes enhanced export logic for trackers, allowing more trackers to be included with user prompts. This improvement offers better control over exported data, giving you more flexibility in your compositing work.
Focal Length Metadata Import
SynthEyes 2024.1 now supports the import of focal length metadata directly from shot metadata. This feature makes it easier to handle zoom scenes with approximate sensor size-based focal length values, simplifying your workflow even further.
Updated Silhouette Exporter
The updated Silhouette Exporter now supports distortion prediction and tracker colour export. This enhancement facilitates smoother 2D/3D tracking data transfer with minimal manual adjustments, boosting productivity.
Additional Productivity Improvements
The update also includes additional productivity improvements such as multi-threaded image fetch, animated Region of Interest to reduce RAM usage on object-tracking shots, and a PrepSet Manager for saving and reusing configurations across shots and projects.
These features collectively enhance 3D tracking's precision, interoperability, and efficiency when working with After Effects and other visual effects pipelines.
