    Anyone else out there ever use syntheye with c4d v9? I’m having hardcore issues importing the lightwave file and having the trackers line up properly — and it would be cool to just discuss different ways of tracking with this software. Basically the quicktime IN syntheye looks tracked — but when i put a background image behind the c4d camera things get all crapped out.

    It frickin flies — it solves so quick —

    I’ve had this issue with SynthEyes and PFMatch. You’ve got to check a couple of things:

    1st. Make sure the frame rate is correct in SythnEyes for your tracking video.

    2nd. Make sure the frame rate is correct in Cinema after you’ve opened the file.

    3rd. Check the animation on you background movie. You want to change to exact frame and then hit calculate.

    4th. Make sure that you’re starting on the right frame. If you imported the movie into SynthEyes and then set a new start point for tracking, you’ll need to make sure you’re using the same start point in C4D.

    5th. Go to the SynthEyes forum and search for this problem. It seems to come up a lot. The forum is good and you usually get an answer from the developer himself!

    I agree this program is great. I’ve just finished a bunch of 3d facial prosthetics for a BBC3 program called Bodywatching. I’ll post the transmission date when I know it.
