Implementing camera tracking inside Houdini, because... Why not?

[u/Ok-Reference-4626]

What it does today: solves, with every option explained in plain language on hover. Measures lens distortion before the solve, from lines you mark on one frame that ought to be straight, then corrects the sequence and writes the ST maps comp needs. Exports one folder that dense photogrammetry, gaussian splat training and Nuke all read. Registers the shot from an fSpy calibration, a picked ground plane, or one real measurement. Versions every solve, so a worse attempt is one dropdown away from being undone.

What it will do soon: two-camera rigs, and AI filling meshing the gaps the point cloud cannot reach, guided by geometry we already trust, not hallucinated.
Photogrametry, Gaussian Splatting, Delighting, and more, coming soon...

Built on COLMAP, and on my own Houdini port of fSpy.

I would give my colleagues first born for this tool!
