Great job as usual, Harry! I have always appreciated your work. This is somehow the first time I have seen a tutorial from you since you were at “the other place”. I am glad to see you are here.

Wow amazing! I just started learning Syntheyes, and so happy to see new tutorial and updated. Very promise software!

Good stuff Harry!

Great! I applaud this acquisition, I've been using mocha for over 10 years as a professional, 3D tracking was something I rarely hat to take care of myself and ended up using nuke, Im super excited syntheyes got aquired and recieves Mocha style UI and interpretation.

It's such a pain free workflow now.

It would be best if you locked tracker122 after you are done with 2D tracking. A good habit.

You're absolutely right. Sometimes these details get lost in the mix. Thanks for pointing it out. Always lock your trackers immediately when you're done with them.

Great new features Harry. Any plans to update the UI? The is a lot of cropped menu text when you switch to High DPI (using a 4K display, Windows 11).

@BorisFXco

5 ай бұрын

Lots of plans, but a UI overhaul will take quite a while to do. We are aware of issues that happen with HiDPI with scaling enabled, and we are looking at solutions for this.

I just recently got Syntheyes and it has really elevated my vfx work. I have used Blenders and Dancing Resolve for tracking, but syntheyes really is dominate when it comes to tracking. I was able to track a really difficult scene in a matter of 5 minutes yesterday. I tried the same scene track in Blender and Resolve, Resolve took 20 mins and kept crashing and I never could get the track to finish. Blender, I had to track 60-80 frames, then add more trackers, I had to do that for 700 frames. Never could get the solve under 5px error. Syntheyes, I got it tracked and a solve of under .5.

Blender workflow is already built-in. Have you had a chance to try it?

How reliable is the hpix value? Sometimes in nuke you’ll have an error less than 0.5 but your solve can be completely wrong.

@BorisFXco

4 ай бұрын

It's a solid metric to be looking at. It's basically the difference between where the 2D tracker and the solved 3D tracker is. If there is significant drift between these two then you can be sure the solve isn't accurate. The closer these are to each other the more confident you can be. The hpix value also delivers an average of the selected (or all if none are selected) trackers. Individual trackers can be off, but the rest could be spot on, bringing the average down. Does that help?

A questuon please ،i love syntheyes , its crazy good ,and all my tracks are perfect ,but when i export to blender ,via alembic file ,its all messed up in blender ,its never alighned ,it used to be before ,but with the same version of both softwares its not ,i tried re installing to reset the settings ,the problem is my track in synth is perfect ,but in blender i have to guess the fov of the camera and try alot to get it near useable, any tips?

We do not have a direct exporter out from SynthEyes to VEGAS. Here is a list of hosts that we export data for currently : borisfx.com/documentation/syntheyes/syntheyesum_files/exporting_to_your_animation Let us know where and how you want to use 3D matchmoving data and we may be able to find a solution for you though.

wait. i see you turn off th point track when the car occluded but why the point still stick to the rock to the whole prior frame and video? that's weird

@BorisFXco

5 ай бұрын

Because once all the tracks has been solved in 3D space, it doesn't matter that the trackers only appear for a few frames. The relationship between them and the virtual camera has already been established, so the point will always be in the right place. Does that make sense?

please tell me why this option is better than a standard 3D tracker in the After Effect?

If you watch through the video, you'll see how flexible SynthEyes is in terms of defining the scene center, orientation and scale. The solve can be repeatedly refined and updated in After Effects to get a much more accurate solve. Also, SynthEyes also solves lens distortion and includes a plugin to accommodate the distortion. Also, SynthEyes generally solves scenes lighting fast compared to After Effects, generally less than 30 seconds.

Maybe it's just me, but syntheyes kinda sucks. any motion blur whatsoever just throws off my solves and I have never really gotten a usable result from any of my testing.

Also all of the footage they show when using it is the literal easiest stuff for the software or any 3D tracking software for that matter, they never show using it with footage that is common for a vfx artist to have to handle, nothing even remotely challenging.

@BorisFXco

Ай бұрын

The solves are only ever going to be as good as the tracking you've got. If you're trying to use auto features, try making the blip size larger, as there probably aren't many good useful small features. But for heavy motion blur you are usually going to have to do a bit more work. Manual tracking is the best way to get consistent features in points where you need them. Here's a good video for supervised tracking : borisfx.com/videos/syntheyes-supervised-tracking-master-class/

@BorisFXco

This is 100% by design for these getting started videos. When you're coming into a new piece of software, you want to know the broad strokes of what the features do. If a beginner tutorial goes too deep, then that video gets closed by the _vast_ majority of people. Once you get past that initial part, you can understand what's happening in the more in-depth features. We have over 100 SynthEyes videos on our website that cover more tricky shots and advanced features. Have a look to see if there is something useful for you there : borisfx.com/videos/?tags=product:SynthEyes&search=

Unfortunately, Syntheyes is dead after BorisFx acquired it. Goodbye Syntheyes...
