Andersson Technologies, maker of the low cost nut extremely capable match-moving software Syntheyes, will be showing off Syntheyes 2011 at Siggraph 2010 next week. Syntheyes 2011 release concentrates on set reconstruction, and with the new features, visual effects artists can create 3-D models of the set on which shots were originally recorded, as an aid to adding new effects such as CGI creatures, or enhancing the appearance of the set, for example extending it or enhancing the art direction. Compositing artists can use the new features to build layered 3-D environments as well.
SynthEyes 2008+1 is available now. SynthEyes 2011 will be available in September 2010. Customers purchasing SynthEyes 2008+1 now will receive a no-charge upgrade to the same platform of SynthEyes 2011 when it becomes available.
“SynthEyes 2011 to preview at SIGGRAPH, booth #1017! That’s right, the next major release of SynthEyes will be on display, highlighted by new set reconstruction tools. To save you the e-mail: if you buy SynthEyes now, you will get 2008+1 now, and 2011 when it releases at no extra charge. This is true for anyone purchasing in July 2010 or later; purchasers from June 2010 will receive a discounted upgrade. Stay tuned for more information after the show.”
