Explore the lens distortion workflow across SynthEyes, Blender, Maya, and Nuke in this course trailer, previewing practical techniques for accurate camera distortion correction and compositing.
Learn camera tracking in SynthEyes by importing footage, correcting pixel aspect ratio, and auto-tracking to refine the camera solve and distortion, for accurate 3D orientation.
Apply lens distortion on the plate in SynthEyes using the quad view, solver tab, and lens workflow, then export the undistorted or UHD plate as a PNG sequence.
Scale the scene in SynthEyes using a reference character and set the character’s y value to zero. Create a test geometry plane and export the camera track for other software.
Master the lens distortion workflow by exporting camera tracking data from SynthEyes to Nuke, aligning project timing, applying plate distortion, and compositing the result.
This lecture demonstrates a complete lens distortion workflow using SynthEyes, Maya, and Nuke: exporting camera tracking data, replacing with undistorted plates, and re-applying distortion for final compositing.
Export camera track from SynthEyes to Blender with a Blender Python script or Alembic, set frames, relink background image, create test geometry, and render for Nuke.
Import Blender render and SynthEyes tracking data, then compose with Nuke using two nodes to reapply distortion, correct pixel aspect, and merge with the original plate.
The workflow for using lens distortion data from SynthEyes, Nuke, Blender, and Maya to ensure accuracy and consistency in your VFX projects. This comprehensive course is designed for VFX artists, matchmovers, and compositors who want to integrate live-action footage with CG elements while maintaining precise lens distortion workflows across multiple software. You’ll learn how to solve lens distortion in SynthEyes, export the necessary data, and implement it effectively in Nuke, Blender, and Maya to achieve flawless results.
This course is designed to benefit both beginners with basic knowledge of VFX tools and experienced professionals seeking advanced techniques.
