PFTrack
Product Description

Ever wonder what the big boys use when it comes to visual effects? Well, Sony Imageworks, Riot, Stan Winston Studios, Digital Domain and many more have all plumped for PFTrack from The Pixel Farm. The reason is simple.




PFTrack 5.0, now in 3D!

PFTrack, already the most advanced camera tracking and motion analysis solution available, now reaches new heights of operability with many new features including: a totally new camera solver with the ability to track stereoscopic footage, reference frame support, greatly improved Z Depth extraction and many UI and workflow improvements.

 The new camera solver in version 5.0 supports true stereoscopic footage, working with both left and right eye images to produce a truly independent camera motion. Each ‘eye’ is solved as a distinct motion path and presented as a ‘stereo’ camera rather than just calculating an image plane offset. For the first time film makers working in 3D have a tool that enables them to maintain a true stereo VFX pipeline. PFTrack can pass data downstream to applications with stereo support, including The Foundary’s Nuke.

 Added to this, PFTrack 5.0 now supports the use of reference frames. High resolution stills can be imported and used to define points in space to improve solves. Reference frames can also be used as sources for textures when using PFTrack’s image based modeling tools.
