Andersson Technologies has updated a features page for the up and coming SynthEyes 2011 Tracking solution. Exciting times! 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.
Some of the new features include a Texture-extraction system creates new low-noise textures and panoramic backdrops from image sequences, an Overall Distance constraint for smoother and more controllable solves, especially for object and other low-perspective solves, and Improved standard mesh primitive generators (cube, sphere, etc) with UV texture coordinates and the ability to change the number of segments at any time. Check out the page over at Andersson Technologies for a complete list.
