Files for the Manual
The files below are source files for use while performing the tutorials in the SynthEyes documentation. They are not completed shots with effects added.
Right-click and select Save As. The AVI files are
readable on Mac OS X.

Sample Export FilesSample export files follow. These are what is exported after performing the Quick-Start tutorial, not necessarily the best possible tracking for a particular desired insert. Note that the size of the scene can be set accurately within SynthEyes if desired; these are sized arbitrarily. You should adjust the image file name of these files in a text editor or in your 2-D/3-D package, so that the script matches the location of the flyover jpeg sequence from above. This is only necessary for testing here; when you export normally from SynthEyes the correct file name is used automatically. |

| flyover.lws | Cinema 4D. Using this Lightwave export, manually set up the image background. From the Objects menu, add a Background. Create a new Texture. At right, click on “…” next to the file name for texture. Select your source file. Click on the right-facing triangle button next to the file name, select Edit. Select the Animation panel. Click the Calculate button at the bottom. Drag the new texture from the texture editor onto the “Background” on the object list. Background now appears in the viewport. | |
