A unique and flexible solver toolset for MatchMove (MM) related tasks integrated into Autodesk Maya.
The aim of this project is to provide a solver to aid in complex matchmoving tasks inside Autodesk Maya. This tool is not intended as a one-click-solution - this tool is for advanced techniques that are encountered on a daily-basis in the Film and TV industry.
For all tutorials, documentation of Tools, Python API and Maya Plug-In features, take a look at the Documentation Home Page.
The official YouTube channel is mmSolver, it contains video tutorials for mmSolver on a range of topics.
