Adds Kurves Color Correction, Image Preprocessor Presets, RotoMasking Improvements
Andersson Technologies LLC (Phoenixville, PA) has released SynthEyes 2210, the latest version of its 3-D tracking and match-moving application for Windows, macOS (with native M1 support), and Linux. The new version focuses on SynthEyes's front end: the image preprocessor and the rotomasking capabilities.
Highlights of the new 2210 version include:
New Kurves spline-curve-based color correction tool in the image preprocessor.
New PrepSet Manager for image preprocessor presets. Keep PrepSet preferences, store them in files, move them from camera to camera, duplicate them, etc.
Roto splines can now be clicked to select them, dragged, control-rotated, or ALT-/command-scaled, or control-ALT/command-scaled-and-rotated. Multiple control points can be selected and moved at once, via shift- or control-clicking various points, or by lassoing.
Per-spline Ignore and Invert checkboxes on the Roto panel.
New RotoMask button on the camera view's View toolbar, which overlays a checkerboard showing which pixels would be assigned to the current Active Tracker Host by the auto-tracker, giving a quick way to check the setup. When RotoMask and Alpha are on, the binary matte that you can save from Save Sequence is shown.
Many additional detailed roto improvements. See the RotoMasking in SynthEyes 2210 tutorial.
Greenscreen Keying panel improvements: you can now use the full user interface while it's open, you can set the color with an eyedropper mode or via the swatch, and the camera view can show a checkerboard with selectable alpha or the final binary mask. Can now be launched by menu item for key accelerators for easier scripting.
New Shot/Add Render Camera to easily create shot-less cameras for independent (non-tracked, still or animated) preview renders of the 3-D environment. When a perspective view is locked to a render camera, Dolly, Look, Orbit, Pan, and field of view changes animate the render camera.
New Script/Trackers/Project tracker to new Moving Object - projects a (2-D) tracker onto 3-D meshes to form a new moving object, with various options to control the orientation of the created moving object.
Workaround for a Blender 3.2x crash reading SynthEyes exports of large meshes (due to the buggy Python in Blender 3.2). The workaround exports hexadecimal data, with a 2x larger file and somewhat slower write, but with much faster execution by blender. New Hex mesh workaround control to enable or disable it.
You can read the full list of 100 improvements and bug fixes.
The free demonstration version of SynthEyes on Windows, macOS (Universal - native M1 code), or Linux can be downloaded starting at https://www.ssontech.com/regis.html
