KeenTools has released KeenTools 2025.1, the latest version of its suite of plugins for Blender and Nuke.
Facial tracking plugin FaceTracker and 3D object tracking plugin GeoTracker both get workflow updates, including a new wireframe render option to help preview tracks.
FaceTracker and GeoTracker: wireframe rendering and Start frame selection
KeenTools 2025.1 is primarily a workflow update to KeenTools’ tracking plugins, with both FaceTracker and GeoTracker getting a new wireframe render option.
It makes it possible to render a wireframe view of the tracked geometry the plugins generate, either in isolation, or overlaid on the source footage to help when previewing a track.
The plugins also get a Start frame selector for clips and Sequence Masks, providing a quick way to reposition footage and masks in the timeline.
All of the KeenTools plugins, including 3D head generator FaceBuilder, get support for the Blender 4.4 and Nuke 15.2 betas, with support for the Nuke 16.0 beta to come.
Price and system requirements
The KeenTools plugins are compatible with Blender 2.80+ and Nuke 12.2v4+. GeoTracker is also available for After Effects 17.0+.
The software is available rental-only, with each individual plugin costing $18/month or $179/year for individuals, or $499/year for studios.
