Prepare the captured sequence
Import a tokenized image sequence, verify frame continuity and source properties, then create owned geometry preserving proxy products before solving begins.

Native Houdini camera solver
Footage to native camera.
Keep matchmove inside Houdini from the first sequence check to the final editable camera. Tracker prepares the footage, solves the original camera movement, brings frame diagnostics and measured repair into one reviewable workflow, then creates a native Houdini camera for the shot.

Why Tracker
Less setup.
More direction.
Tracker turns a captured image sequence into an editable native Houdini camera through a reviewable matchmove workflow. Sequence scanning, proxy preparation, observation checks, camera solving, diagnostics, repair and world correction stay bound to the same solve.

Inside the system
Built around
the real workflow.
Every layer is designed to shorten repeated setup while leaving the final Houdini result available for the artist.
Solve the camera movement
Recover the original camera movement, then check registration, observations and world alignment before the new solve can replace the accepted result.
Review what the solve did
Review per frame reprojection results, track quality and solve diagnostics instead of treating a successful process exit as a finished camera.
Repair with intent
Use Track Repair for measured artist observations, preview world corrections without changing the accepted camera and apply only the corrections you approve.
Protect the accepted camera
A failed or cancelled solve cannot silently replace the previously accepted camera. A new result becomes active only after the required review is complete.
Create a native camera
Review the solved movement in context, accept the result and create a separate editable native Houdini OBJ camera for scene work.
The workflow
From first input
to native result.
Import and validate
Bring in the captured image sequence and verify frame continuity and source properties.
Solve the camera movement
Create the owned proxy and recover the original camera movement in the isolated worker.
Diagnose and repair
Review frame diagnostics and add measured corrections where the solve needs help.
Create the native camera
Accept the reviewed solve and create a separate editable native Houdini camera.
Native by design
The setup helps.
The result stays yours.
Nodely tools create results that remain part of the Houdini scene. Inspect them, adjust them and hand them forward without turning the product into the only place where the work can live.

Questions
Before the
first shot.
01Does a failed solve replace the last accepted camera?
No. The previous accepted camera remains active until the new solve is reviewed and explicitly accepted.
02Does Tracker produce a native Houdini camera?
Yes. After you review and accept the solve, Tracker creates a separate editable native Houdini OBJ camera for scene work and handoff.
03Can artists review and repair difficult tracks?
Yes. Per frame diagnostics and Track Repair support measured artist observations without silently replacing the accepted camera.
04How does the annual license work?
The annual license renews automatically each year until canceled and includes product updates and supported Houdini builds while active.
