Hasta La Motion!

Hi,

I’m having a problem with a syntheyes file. Ive tracked and solved everything and it’s working fine. However it’s not the whole shot it is till frame 300 and the whole shot is till 500. I can’t change it in the edit shot becouse it’s an other file that I used as the shot. And when I do change shot images syntheyes crashes.

What I want to do now is export my tracking points + my solved camera to a file so I can import it in my new syntheyes file again.
Side note: my original synyheyes file starts from 462 and ends at 658. My new syntheyes file starts at frame 0 and ends at 400.

I’ve tried to export my camera and trackers and import them in my new file but that’s not working and I think thats becouse of the frame numbers. I hope someone can help me out with this.

Thank you,
Maarten

I have a 4-Node-(32 Core)-RENDER FARM for sale. I had an animation studio that I am closing and I would like to sell our farm.

These are amazingly fast reliable units. It used to take over an hour to render each frame of our animations but if you use Mental Ray with Combustion they are lightning fast at about 8 to 10 minutes per frame. A super high rez single frame renders in about 15 minutes. We would set up a scene at the end of the day and it would be ready to preview by morning- AWESOME!!! It really made or deadlines less stressful.

These were custom built to higher specs than BOXX’s-2XQuadCore-RenderBOXX:

Motherboard- Super Micro Computers-MBD-X&DCL-1

Processors- 2ea- Xeon Quad Core Processers 2.5 GHz

Memory- Kingston-2ea 2GB

Hard Drive- Western Digital – 80gig

DVD- LG – DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 16X DVD+R

Operating System: Microsoft – MS SP Pro-X64-Special

Also included is a LinksKey 8-Port KVM Switch and cables- This allows you to switch and monitor the progress on all four nodes from a single Monitor.

These are wonderful units and cost about 14k when new.

We are asking $6800 for all four nodes which includes shipping

You can inquire at the email address listed above or

Call me at 360-858-7449. Ask for Paul

I have several pics I can send you!

P.S. If anybody has any ideas of how to get the word out on these please let me know.

Hello everyone,
I’m having a problem with the alignement of a scene after tracking.
I’m using Syntheyes and I’ve done some manual trackers and some automatic trackers. Then i solved the scene and I’ve made some clean up work to make the path of the camera looking better. The error is 0.3 pixel. I tried to export the scene to maya only to see if it’s looking realistic and it is. The only problem is that I cannot find a way to align it correctly. I tried different approach: alignment with lines, alignment with corner system (origin, point on X and point on ground plane XZ), alignement using only the origin and then rotating and moving the scene manually. All the results aren’t good because the ground plane grid is sliding during frames and that, of course, cause the sliding of the geometries.
Do I missed something in the process I used?
Thanks
Alan
PS Excuse me If I missed any kind of information you should have or my post is not perfect as this is my first post here

Hi guys!

Does anyone know how to disable post/pre render mel statements when single image is rendered via render view.

I need them to be executed only during the batch render.

Or are there any variables that can tell python/mel scripts that they are executed in context of batch render process or command line render process.

Thanks!

I am looking for a few production tools that can fit into any pipeline that are either free or less costly.

1.Photo browser : I have lots of reference images and texture libraries. Is there any app though which we can quickly browse through these libraries from anywhere on the network.In other words I want this app only to look at one specific drive and update automatically all new folders and files.

2.3d model Browser : Is there any app that can open most of the files formats.Eg:obj,Mb,Ma,fbx and max.

Thanks.
