In this video, I am going to show you how you can easily (honestly) import 3D models, with animation to composite into your footage!

    May be a year old, but it was definitely informative. I've been trying to figure a way to do one of my shorts, and this is it. I'll make several passes in blender with each pass being a different element, then composite it in davinci this way, definitely seems faster as well as give me 100% more control over the look and feel off the footage. Lots to test and learn. 💪🏾 thanks.

I come from an editing background and have been using resolve studio for almost a year now and got fascinated with vfx when I started playing around in fusion. I'm really interested in seeing a tutorial like this, but basically just the opposite, where you use fusion and blender to bring a green screen shot character into a virtual environment created in Blender. Is this something you have experience with?

    so what if you have a pretty washed out shot to track? could you either A: Add a contrast node to the footage, then track it (or does the tracker only follow the original footage, not a processed node?).. or B: add heavier contrast, render the contrasted movie, bring it back in, track THAT footage, then use the camera data that you exported, and re apply it to the original washed out footage. hence the tracking information derived from the hard contest points will then be applied to the washed out image. hope that made sense. im just not sure and I need to experiment I guess. thanks so much for the tut, good stuff.

Again, it was something along the lines of it being import as a still frame. If I find it, I will comment again. Otherwise, I hope that you do find the solution, regardless.

    You are truly impressive! Wow! Even more examples with 3D Model! I have a question regarding the import of a 3d Model (not the one in the example) into my Davinci scene. I need your help! When I reduce the size of the object to small (ex: Scale=0.02), I always notice flickers on the model and jerks/deform on the outline. Probably because the object is small. Is it possible, from Blender, to export the 3D Model by already reducing the Scale? Or if not, what would be the solution? With the Deflicker, Blur, ColorCorrector Nodes no success. Thanks and great work!

    Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words. You should be able to reduce the size in Blender before exporting yes. I am not in front of my computer but I know there's a setting for it. As far as the flickering, I am not sure. My first thought was your graphics card but if you're not having issues elsewhere, it's probably not that. It could have something to do with the size, as you said.

But it appears that Fusion can only use FBX animation that doesn't rely on bones and a skin wrap. I finally was told that Mixamo assets are MotionBuilder type FBXs, where a skeleton animation is retargeted onto the model and if the animation were instead a baked point cache, then Fusion can read it, even if it's FBX. So the Blender pass is obligatory ;)

    into Davinci Resolve... STUDIO! Huge difference. Davinci Resolve does not have a critical feature to perform the operation described in this video. Please, give proper titles to your videos.

    Thank you for the input. It's difficult for me to know if anything is or isn't included in the Studio version, as I own the Studio version and there's no way to determine what's not included in the free version, other than looking it up on the Blackmagic web site. I am obviously well aware there is a difference. But my hope is that if someone needs to/wants to this, they will purchase the Studio version.

    I know it sounds ridiculous but please don't say "In this video" in your intros. I hear a thousand other channels doing vfx saying that in every single video in the first 5 seconds. It's really annoying 😅It's little things like that and creating changes that add originality to channels on KZread. Thanks for the tutorial by the way. Great job
