Boris FX SynthEyes 2026 is an important upgrade for all 3D matchmove artists. Whether you are a veteran tracker or just starting your journey, youll find some big improvements aimed at you.
This release marks the beginning of a UI modernization effort, improving discoverability and readability, while respecting the muscle memory artists have built over years.

For those working with complex rigs, the new Live GeoH preview is a game-changer. It transforms GeoH into an interactive, intuitive experience, closer to posing or animation, providing instant feedback as you adjust constraints or trackers. Combined with expanded USD/USDZ support and a dedicated ST Map exporter, SynthEyes 2026 is the most approachable and capable version yet.
