Automatic Multi-Peel in SynthEyes

2 min read

This is a great way to automated your multiple feature detection and ‘peeling’ process, using a Synthia script developed by Matt Merkovich.

Synthia is a natural language interface; it provides a great way to automate SynthEyes tasks for tracking artists that don’t want to deal with the technical details of Sizzle or Python, the other scripting languages that SynthEyes supports.

To get an idea of how easy it is to automate tasks, here’s the script:

//Multi-Peel MATTMERK Style

say ““.
say “Don't multitask while running: check email, twitter, etc. 😉“.
say “It will grab window focus and crash the script“.
say ““.

make current camera’s big blip density 0.004.
make current camera’s small blip size 8.
make current camera’s big blip size 16.
make current camera’s maximum tracker count number of frames*2.2.
