Basic Object Solve - SYNTHEYES

[@iPEMiC.]

Was wandering how many trackers are needed to solve a camera in Syntheyes and how many of them need for an object track please? Didn't find the information online maybe you know!

Syntheyes only really needs 4 trackers for a solve to calculate. Same with objects. But that doesn't automatically mean the solution will be good. Even if you have 100 points on your cam and object, how they position themselves in space is dependent on how much parallax is in the shot. You might have a solve, but with such little movement, there's no guarantee these 3D points found a realistic position in space. And then you'd likely need constraints.

Man, I can't thank you enough. A great tutorial once again.

I'm very confused with this shot i'm trying to track..... its because its a tripod lockoff and i guess i only need to track the object? It's a coffee cup being grabbed and i want to try to do a liquid simulation in the cup. Im getting stuck because no tutorial seems to show me what to do in the case of a total lock off shot and object tracking is the entire goal.

Fair point. I haven't seen this shown as well I think. Don't think I've even done it. Well. At least not with that being the goal. I've streamed lock offs before. Not sure which. I'm bogged down with life stuff these days. This might be a quick easy tutorial I could do. We'll see if I can do something on that. You just align a camera however you feel, and turn off its solving. And just track/solve an object. But finding depth and distortion can be slightly different in technique. But it's mostly the same. I'll see if I can do something with this.
