Bernd the best of Fusion ....15 mn of videos and 60 mn to apply ....Thanks a lot

Hi Bernd! Not just this tutorial, but all your other VFXstudy tutorials on Fusion are the best! I love your in-depth and CLEAR explanations of the principles behind what you're doing. I believe this is the best way we can all learn -- understanding the why and how so that we can apply that knowledge to our own ideas with our own tweaks. And you're always covering multiple useful functions and tips in each tutorial! I come to your tutorials to learn not just the stated topic, but how to use Resolve/Fusion effectively in general. Please keep up the wonderful tutorials!

a very good job, for many if we would like to learn all these techniques, it enriches our knowledge, thank you for sharing it. 👌👌

Thx a million, Bernd, for this "little" (!) roundtrip. Definitely the most comprehensive and best explained tutorial I have seen on that topic so far!

Finally i find some good explanation of the catcher node. Thanks. 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you. Coming from Nuke to Fusion, and trying to do some digital matte painting, this tutorial was so very helpful, especially the last bit about the projection IDs and the catcher!! So perfect!

Thank you! Can’t wait to see more of your videos.

Exactly what I was looking for. 1000 thanks. One of the best DaVinci Resolve and Fusion channels. …🤗🙌👌👍

Awesome, Bernd! I recall I asked you this question sometimes ago. It is nice from you to take time to answer and prepare such tutorial. Very clear the difference. THANKS!

Fantastic stuff. Great tutorial like always!

Excellent tutorial, Bernd, thank you. I noticed in the Fusion chapter of the Resolve manual there's another kind of projection, using a UVMap Node. The manual only gives it half a page and I don't really understand what I need to do to use it, but the result looks very interesting - creating a 3D scene out of 2D images in such a way that they interact with a 3d model, in terms of reflections and shadows. I would love to see a tutorial on this.

Well explained. This gave many new ideas. :)

Great tutorial! One question: How do you create a mask on an image plane 3D?

@VFXstudy

4 жыл бұрын

How about masking the 2d image and then attach the masked version to the 3D image plane?

Can we use 360 images as set extension and place our charactor shot on chromakey ???

Great stuff - When working in projector mode with a boris effect imported (e.g. explosion) is there a way to alpha the black background without the explosion getting transparrent? (I want to try this in VR360 instead of imageplane, but can't seem to find the right setting).

@VFXstudy

Not sure about your plugin, but sometimes you can lumakey vfx that have black background. If you get an image with transparency you can project it with texture projection.

What about 2D text, how do I add that to an image and have just the text and the reset of the plane transparent?

@VFXstudy

Жыл бұрын

Texted directly generated 2d text. Or maybe you want a flat text in 3d, but that's what texted does by default. Normally there's no need for image plane or projection if all you need is 2d text

Is there a way to snap a plane (or any other object) to a certain tracking point? Because that’s the only way to be truly accurate and Fusion is not very friendly when it comes to orthogonal views. So if like to select a tracker and have an object being snapped on there.

@VFXstudy

4 жыл бұрын

Not sure I understand you right... If you want to place something in 3D it works with an accurate 3d camera track. In 2d you have point and planar tracking of course but then typically you don't need the full 3d scene.. of course you can build one and do 2d matchmove after the render. If you want a specific point from 3d accessible in 2d you have the locator tool for that.

4:05 mind-blowing... QUESTION: Would this be a simpler/easier/better way in which to create a 3d environment, as opposed to bringing in an HDRI converted to .exr file?

@VFXstudy

3 жыл бұрын

Well, what would you do with the HDRI - connect to a sphere? So basically the same concept and would allow your camera to tilt up and down as well. The added dinmic range in HDRI may or may not be useful depending on your workflow. Often HDRIs are used for lighting, but could be used like this here as well I suppose. But either way this works for a nodal pan/tilt as long as the camera is fixed on a tripod - if the camera moves in any other way, it might fall apart - well depending on the amount of movement.

Hi and thank you for such clear and informative tutorials. At about 9:44 or so you speak of rotating the plane and getting a 3D perspective. However, in the free version of Resolve, the Render3D node will only display the straight ahead view of a photo and not the rotated perspective. It appears that rotating the image via the plane or Merge3D only results in the Render3D displaying a more narrow photo still in the original orientation. This is clearly evident if you use a photo of a bird with it's wings spread. Is there some manner of rendering the rotated image? Thank you!

@VFXstudy

4 жыл бұрын

Hi, the Render3D renders the scene exactly as the camera3d looks onto it. If you rotate the merge3D everything including the attached camera will rotate -> no effect. You need to rotate the imageplane3d node alone. If it appears squeezed or rotated depends on the perspective / angle of rotation.

@bobmclean5306

@@VFXstudy Yes. Quite right. My Render3D node had become stuck for some reason. I reset it and I now get the expected results, just as you describe them. And the effect is quite different if I rotate an ImagePlane3D, which maintains aspect ratio and simulates looking at a photo from the edge, or if I rotate a Shape3D plane, which allows the image to distort. Very interesting. Thanks again!

trying to get camera projection image plane of a keyed subject cast a shadow and it doesnt seem to do it.. any tips?

@VFXstudy

2 жыл бұрын

Should be possible, but few things to check: projection needs to be texture projection (not light or ambient light). Shadows enabled in Render node, light source supports shadows (spotlight). Used to only work with software renderer. Now OpenGl renderer got enhanced, but not not sure - haven't tried this one since. Also check my channel for the tutorial on shadow projection

Is there a node in the Fusion that can combine multiple images into one big picture? What is the biggest image dimensions that Fusion can accept and use?

@VFXstudy

Жыл бұрын

You can just merge the images with the standard merge node and transform them smaller or bigger either in the merge or with additional transform node before. Resolution is normally not an issue, unless you run into performance issues due to extreme sizes. I think in theory you can use images up to 16K by 16K

Hi , can we create a 3d background to look like Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj scenario? My background is white and not Chroma Key.

@VFXstudy

3 жыл бұрын

Well, you can create all kinds of backgrounds if you have the material and artistic vision... I don't remember the Patriot Act - though I've seen it some time ago. You can use a Luma key to key on white, but depending on the foreground your results may vary. With black hair, dark clothes and good lighting separation, keying against white might actually work reasonably well - in other scenarios not so much...

Is all the stuff you did in this tutorial in the free version or studio version?

Hello, my camera is not centering on the photo how do I properly align.

@VFXstudy

2 ай бұрын

Either move it around in 3D space or better make sure plane and camera start from the default locations and then only move the camera back in z. Unless you are talking about projection. Then make sure your projector is aligned with the camera - often on frame 0 or on last frame. You might start by copying the camera to use it as projector and later might remove the keyframes on the projector.

hey friend - where are good resources to download free spheres or 360 videos? do I search "latlong videos" or "equirectangular photos"? I don't even know the best terminology :)

@VFXstudy

Unfortunately I don't think there's really a lot out there, but I haven't been searching recently - I would try 360 or VR video. For still images there are quite a few good HDRI maps available from hdrihaven for example - basically high resolution photos with high dynamic range and spherical projection that are used a lot in 3D lighting.

Not sure what you are trying, but first you have merged it over a black background, so there the black boundary is intentional? If not, why the merge? Then it depends on the camera position. Bring the camera closer or work with the focal length. But you are working in 3d so not sure what "snap to edges" means in 3d space...
