Huge thanks to SideFX for supporting us!

[SideFX @sidefx]

@keen_tools has released the Open Beta of GeoTracker for Houdini, a fully integrated matchmove solution for object and camera tracking. Now available natively in Houdini, GeoTracker delivers a major workflow upgrade by allowing artists to handle matchmoving tasks entirely in-scene—eliminating the need to switch applications.

Built as a native SOP node, it supports both OBJ and Solaris workflows with automatic focal length estimation and zoom tracking. Tracked geometry can be instantly converted into colliders, emitters, or motion drivers for FX pipelines.

KeenTools has partnered with educator David Torno to provide comprehensive learning resources, including a 3+ hour Deep Dive tutorial.

@badmonk_uk At the moment, we only have FaceBundle (FaceBuilder + FaceTracker). If you want GeoTracker too, you'll need to subscribe to it separately.

Houdini users have been asking for native 3D object tracking for over a decade.

And it's finally here.

KeenTools, the team behind GeoTracker for Nuke, Blender, and AE, shipped a Houdini beta this week. And I was able to get my hands on it to test!🧵
