Join Russ Andersson for an introductory look at SynthEyes 2011 in this first part of a tutorial series. Russ demonstrates a basic solve by opening a shot from a local shopping center and using SynthEyes' auto tracker to find 2D features and determine camera movement. He then sets up a coordinate system using three trackers on a parking lot surface, explaining its importance for scene positioning within a 3D environment. This tutorial concludes with the trackers positioned correctly and the camera movement aligned, preparing for further export or additional tasks in future sessions.
