The Latest SynthEyes 2024.1 Features
- After Effects exporter and plug-in updates:
- New “SynthEyes Advanced Lens Distortion” plugin for After Effects, directly supporting all SynthEyes lens models, animated distortion, and (previously unsupported) off-center lenses and non-square pixels.
- Plugins updated to work on Apple M1/M2/M3 processors and use Multi-Frame-Rendering on Windows and macOS.
- Export 3D meshes and textures directly to After Effects when the exporter's AE version selector is set to “Beta after 2024.1”.
- Automatically reduce the number of exported tracker layers to a limit you set.
- SynthEyes effects now appear in the “Boris FX SynthEyes” submenu of After Effects's Effect menu.
- Two-pass workflow: The background images in Camera01_3D are now a guide layer, so their undistorted then redistorted version doesn't inadvertently appear behind ReCamera01.
- Non-planar trackers are set as "shy" layers for easy hiding in the timeline.
- SynthEyes Notes exported as guide layers to After Effects.
- Lens workflow scripts updated to set the resolution of the undistorted image to the original image resolution, as originally intended.
- Avoid unnecessary Vert.Scale error message in Nuke and Fusion exports with classic lens model and animated zoom.
- Nuke export now includes the effect of the flipping and rotation selected in the SynthEyes texture panel.
- Maya ASCII Updated exporter now sends the subdivision counts for SynthEyes cube, cylinder, etc primitives to Maya.
- Additional testing in auto-place to always keep the scene's final orientation close to the original orientation.
- Speed up SynthEyes startup time by deferring reading colormaps until they are used.
- New macOS uninstaller can deactivate a SynthEyes license, remove the application, and remove the After Effects plugins.
