The new version introduces better solving and the ability to animate lens parameters.
Andersson Technologies has released SynthEyes 2304 – the latest update to the 3D tracking and match moving app. It brings new “industry-standard” lens models in the solver and image preprocessor as well as improves lens modeling.
One of the biggest changes is the option to animate lens model parameters. They can be animated on specific keyframes, with linear interpolation in between. The solver optimizes the key values to produce the best solution on the keyframes considering all the intermediate frames as well.
New “anamorphic distance” solving was introduced to accommodate anamorphic lenses with different horizontal and vertical entrance pupil locations. "Anamorphic distance changes the basic perspective transform, addressing problems that cannot be corrected by any possible 2D lens distortion. SynthEyes can solve for the anamorphic distance and export compensated scenes with certain exporters."
Other changes to lens modeling include:
The solver got a new “Keep World Size” control for when direct expert manual control is desired. In addition, the introduced “Always slow” solving trouble mode always uses a slower but potentially more accurate algorithm instead of using it just to start. You can also now use Refine solving on single-frame shots in Constrain mode when there are sufficient locked points.
SynthEyes 2304 is available for $299 to $699. Find the full list of changes here and don't forget to join our 80 Level Talent platform and our Telegram channel, follow us on Instagram and Twitter, where we share breakdowns, the latest news, awesome artworks, and more.
