Oh wow, great tutorial with a lot of valuable information. One question: aren't you supposed to use an ocio color transform with blenders color management config file right after the combined passes and the beauty in order to get the same image that Blender is showing with it's Filmic color transform view? I guess just using the srgb LUT results in quite a different image, no? At least this is the way I learned it from other compositing tutorials that deal with Cycles renders and filmic. Thanks!

All compositing happens in linear and is typically exported that way too, unless specified by the client. So no, you'd keep everything linear, or if anything save the transform until the very end. Remember, filmic is just a display transform. Blender's internal color space is linear-sRGB

@@ZekeFaust thanks for the clarification. Which way do you suggest if you want to continue doing compositing from the look you get from blender? I do my lighting pretty specifically for the intended look I'm going for so starting from a completely different result in fusion seems to be not the best way to do it. Would it be an option to use the filmic ocio as viewing LUT (if possible?) instead of the srgb LUT as shown here in the tutorial? Thank you.

@@DanielPartzsch Yes you could use the viewer LUT, but I don't believe "looks" are supported in Fusion's OCIO at this point, so if you use filmic's high contrast or low contrast settings, those will not be accessible. Only the medium contrast

@@ZekeFaust If I remember correctly OCIO 1.2 support look in Fusion. OCIO 2.0 does not. Yet. Hopefully BMD will fix it. Also, if I remember correctly you should be able to use Blender's Filmic in OCIO both as a viewer LUT and a OCIO colorspace transform. Maybe it's the medium contrast you mention?

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO MADE A PROPER IN DEPTH GUIDE LFGGG

This is all what I wanted!! Many many thanks for this.

Dam man you are a true hero. Please make more in depth fusion compositing tutorials 👌

You cleared soo much of my doubts. Thanks.

One of the best tutorial I ever seen 🙏. Thank you so much

Great video…..very concise.

Been waiting for this tutorial for a while. Thanks for making this in depth tutorial.❤

this is so awesome, you rock!

Awesome video man, there aren't many good fusion tutorials out there so very greatful for this one!

This is, absolutely, the kind of information I've been looking for since the day I bought the Studio version of Resolve. Thank you for your service. Liked and subscribed because of this video.

Thank you very much for this , this was very very helpful

This tutorial is a gem! You are a real pro. Tank you so much! I would love to see more blender to fusion compositing tutorials such as this one but maybe on a video.

This is awesome!! Thanks :)

Thank you so much for making this in-depth tutorial. Really helped me figure out a lot. I had been jumping a bit around youtube to find something akin to this. However this was way more in-depth, clear and to the point. And included som proper real-world cases. Thank you for making this!

this is actually very advanced Fusion tutorial, and pretty good with practical examples for a bunch of real situations.

So nice THX DUDE !

Man, I know you still don't have a very large community to do certain things, and that it would take a lot of time, but if you created a paid course 100% focused on Blender and Fusion, it would be incredible. Wow, I would love to deeply study something as focused as that. I hope that one day you'll make it. Thank you for the videos you already do!

NICE tutorial Note: Ideally all the light passes should be unpremultiply before we add them together otherwise we get dark fringes around the objects You can use the merge tool to add light passes the trick is to set the 'Alpha gain " in the merge tool to zero ... this adjusts the merge to an additive blend mode

@millolab

11 ай бұрын

Hey Kenneth! nice to see you here! In this specific case all the light passes have a solid alpha, so there's really no need to predivide/postmultiply. For this kind of channel math operations I usually prefer the Channel Booleans, but you can surely do the same as you rightfully say using the Merge node!

Kindly make more like tutorial ❤

Awesome tutorial! Request: Can you please teach us how to do LENS DISTORTION CORRECTION on our footage before sending it to Blender for camera tracking and adding VFX - then bringing the VFX work back to fusion to composite and add the distortion back so the VFX blends in perfectly?

Awesome lesson. Thank you very much! Could you please tell me, why do you convert the image to LOG, and then add a sharpening filter? What does it affect?

Excellent tutorial sir !! Can you please make a video about the UNIVERSAL SCENE DESCRIPTION concept of DVR 18.5 ? Thank you

Wonderful tutorial! It's been a major help in getting started in fusion. I got stuck at the part of recreating Nukes position to points node. Everything worked as showed in the tutorial up until i added the pCustom tool. Now only 1single point shows up in the 3d workspace. Do any of you guys know what I have done wrong? Thank you

Great tutorial, but can you tell me where I can find this tool from 14:10 ?

This was an amazing informative tutorial! I’ve used AE for years but I really prefer node-based workflows as used in my 3D packages, so I’m wanting to start learning one of the node-based compositors. How comparable in terms of compositing abilities would you say Fusion is compared to Nuke? Second question, that sphere mask you use is mind-blowing. Do you know if there is a similar feature in Nuke and if so, what it’s called? Thanks again for the great tutorial!

hello sir please more CGI compositing tutorial

Quick question if I may. At 20:02 why is the Bitmap's paint mode set to multiply? Thanks!

if you ever have time, would you ever do a crt effect tutorial ?

Thank you, that's a great and valuable informations ! Loved the cryptomate process. But I'm struggling in fact not in the fusion side, but the blender one... How to get all thos render pass in blender ? Especially the UV map to re-texture in Fusion ? Do you know a precise link where I could find that ? I'm really struggling right now ^^'

Is it standalone Fusion? Can I do this in DaVinci Resolve's Fusion section?

Hi, great video. I'd love to see/buy a whole masterclass of you going in the details of different techniques and worklfows for fusion. The way you worked with the passes here seems really useful - what benefit would have deep compositing compared to what you did?

@MillolabTuts

4 ай бұрын

well, deep is a completely different beast. Sadly it's not yet available in Fusion, so...

Wow, i am not totally sure, but seems the first time without your soundtrack music?

Just denoise every pass (except diffuse color, gloss color, transmission color) in the blender compositor and pipe it into the exporter. now all your passes are noise free. Denoising that way gives you also a better results.

@millolab

11 ай бұрын

you can do pretty much the same using the OIDN plugin in Fusion, but you're probably right, doing it in Blender will give a better result

could you drop a tutorial on compositing cg elements in live footage

17:10 nice trick

please make a separate video on green screen and screen replacement in fusion

Great tutorial, thank you. Beauty diffuse direct and Beauty diffuse indirect are combined with a channel booleans using the “add” blend mode, alpha do nothing. The result of these two passes are combined with the Beauty diffuse color using the “multiply” blend mode, , alpha do nothing. Why multiply?

That's the way Cycles works.

1. what's the shortcut to switch between the viewers in fusion? 2. is there any specific reason to use merge for volume pass and not the channel boolean? 3. what's the shortcut to enable/disable a node in fusion? 4. Is there any specific use case scenario of having dir, in-dir, color for diffuse, spec & transmission? coz we can setup the dir, in-dir, color in blender's compositor and render straight away diffuse, spec & transmission. so instead of 9 layers we can have 3 layers alone, right? 5. depth should be in z channel, right? instead of having it in red channel? and same goes with uv channels?

@millolab

1 there is no shortcut to switch viewer. Each viewer has an A/B buffer. The shortcut for that is "," and "." 2 because it's a simple Over. 3 cmd+P ctrl+P 4 the more passes you have the more contro in comp. 5 depends. Fusion has a fixed channel structure so in general I'd say yes but there are exceptions.

I think that’s pretty subjective. But aside from that I’m pretty sure the point of this video isn’t to make it “better”, but rather show a usable workflow to make the changes one might need to make for their own shots.

One minute, why does the composite make the shot look worse than it did? O_o

11 ай бұрын

you mean my work on the shot? Or when putting the beauty together? If it's about what I have done on the shot, the purpose here was not to make the shot look better... but just to showcase the tools and how they work. If you talk about the beauty reconstruction the only difference is the denoising. Passes have not been denoised. Using OIDN makes things closer to the demonised render out of Blender.
