The latest release of SynthEyes 2026 from Boris FX focuses on one thing: helping artists complete complex matchmoves faster and with greater precision.

If you rely on professional 3D camera tracking software for VFX, film, broadcast, or post-production, this update introduces meaningful workflow improvements from enhanced tracking tools to better USD support and real-time solve previews.

Here’s what’s new and why it matters.


What Is SynthEyes?

SynthEyes is a professional 3D matchmoving and camera tracking application used by VFX studios, compositors, and post-production teams worldwide.

It enables artists to:

  • Track camera motion from live-action footage
  • Generate accurate 3D camera solves
  • Attach geometry and objects into real footage
  • Export solve data into major DCC and compositing tools

SynthEyes integrates with pipelines involving:

  • Blender
  • Maya
  • Nuke
  • After Effects
  • Houdini
  • USD-based production workflows

For studios handling complex shots, lens distortion, or multi-shot sequences, SynthEyes remains a reliable and production-proven solution.


What’s New in SynthEyes 2026

SynthEyes 2026 focuses on accelerating matchmove workflows while improving accuracy and pipeline compatibility.

1. Mocha Point Tracker Integration

SynthEyes 2026 now incorporates the Mocha Point Tracker, leveraging planar tracking technology from Mocha Pro.

This enhancement improves:

  • Supervised 2D tracking stability
  • Performance on low-texture surfaces
  • Handling of motion blur and nearly flat geometry

For difficult shots where traditional point tracking may struggle, planar-aware tracking provides more reliable data for cleaner solves.

Why this matters:

More stable tracks mean fewer manual adjustments and faster problem resolution in demanding matchmove scenarios.

2. Interactive Live Preview (GeoH)

A major workflow improvement in SynthEyes 2026 is Interactive Live Preview GeoH.

Instead of repeatedly stopping to run full solves, you can now:

  • Adjust trackers and geometry
  • See real-time visual feedback
  • Refine hierarchy and attachments faster

This reduces the typical solve-review-adjust cycle that slows production.

Result: Faster iteration, clearer validation, and improved solve confidence.

3. User Interface Refinements

SynthEyes 2026 includes UI enhancements designed for better clarity and efficiency.

Updates focus on:

  • Cleaner panel organization
  • Improved layout visibility
  • Easier access to commonly used controls

For new users, onboarding becomes smoother. For experienced artists, navigation becomes more efficient with less friction.

4. Expanded USD Support

As Universal Scene Description (USD) becomes more central to VFX pipelines, SynthEyes 2026 expands USD capabilities.

You can:

  • Import complex USD scenes
  • Maintain hierarchy structures
  • Integrate more seamlessly into USD-based production environments

For studios working with modern 3D animation pipelines, this ensures better interoperability and scene consistency.

5. Pipeline & Export Enhancements

SynthEyes continues to support export to widely used formats such as:

  • FBX
  • Alembic
  • USD

The 2026 release improves data reliability across exports, helping ensure that camera solves, geometry, and distortion information transfer accurately into downstream tools.

This reduces rework between tracking, animation, and compositing stages.


Who Should Upgrade to SynthEyes 2026?

SynthEyes 2026 is especially valuable for:

  • VFX artists handling complex camera movement
  • Studios managing multi-shot sequences
  • Teams integrating USD-based workflows
  • Compositors requiring accurate lens distortion data
  • Production houses optimizing 3D tracking efficiency

If matchmoving is a critical step in your pipeline, the workflow acceleration in this release can directly impact turnaround times.
