3D Camera Tracking for Easy Paint & Roto in Silhouette [Boris FX]

Explore the powerful new camera tracking capabilities integrated into Silhouette 2025.5 and powered by industry-leading SynthEyes technology. Solve 3D scenes directly within Silhouette without needing any other software. Learn how to perform an automatic solve, generate a point cloud, and create 3D cards for precise paint and compositing tasks. Join Ben Brownlee and walk through several practical examples. Utilize these 3D planes for stabilized painting with the unproject and matchmove functions. Learn professional tips for the best solves by adjusting settings and using occlusion mattes to exclude problematic areas like water or sky. This workflow is essential for tackling difficult shots with parallax, where traditional planar tracking falls short. Follow along to see how this integrated tool makes challenging paint and roto work more manageable and accurate than ever before. // K E Y P O I N T S // ⦁ Intro to the 3D camera solver, powered by SynthEyes technology. ⦁ Perform an automatic solve and create 3D cards from the resulting point cloud data. ⦁ Use solved 3D planes for stabilized painting with the unproject and matchmove functions. ⦁ Best practices for improving your solve by adjusting feature settings and using occlusion mattes to guide the tracker.
