Illumination Tracking in SynthEyes

Russ Andersson explains how to manage dynamic lighting changes in SynthEyes when inserting objects into live-action shots. He highlights tools in SynthEyes for determining light direction and position, and focuses on how to handle lighting changes due to explosions, strobes, or moving vehicles. Andersson demonstrates using trackers to measure color values over time, creating cards for accurate measurement, and using the "Set Illumination from Trackers" script to extract and apply illumination data. He details methods for smoothing curves, adjusting parameters, and exporting the data to 3D applications. The tutorial emphasizes practical techniques for accurately reproducing lighting conditions in various scenes.
