Fusion Tutorials

[biliousfrog]

thanks for the links.

Is there a great difference between Digital Fusion & Fusion? I'm a complete noob considering moving over from After Effects because of its integration with 3d apps (especially Lightwave) & I'm completely stumped. It took me a while to get my head around After Effects but Fusion is really comfusing me at the moment......why can't someone create a compositing app that uses layers like Photoshop with all the blending modes etc easily at hand, layer sets, layer masks etc??? It all seems a bit long winded to me but I'm sure I'll get it eventually.

Very good introduction to Digita Fusion 4 by Fred Pienkos.

Quote "...Digital Fusion 4 is eyeon’s flagship product and marks the ninth major release of this powerful compositor, and with the release of Fusion 5 later this year, extreme care and planning went into this introduction to fusion to cover topics that all transfer through to the new version, so you can hit the ground running with the basic knowledge of Fusions workflow when Fusion 5 is finally released...."

Nope...they just dropped the "digital" from the name in the current release. That way they could just call it Fu5--:-)

Stay with After Effects

[sacslacker]

Stay with After Effects

Seriously, After Effects is good at what it does but after using nodes (shake, or Fusion) it makes you hate layers. AE has it's place though eh?

[onickz]

You can't have a decent idea of what is going on when reading layers that have 5 entries for examples. With nodes it's crystal clear.

[gsantoshprasad]

hi
im a new to this compositing field so pls gide me how to remove the spills of the shot and plz guide me the tutorial sites of keying i am waiting 4r ur repley..........bye

[onickz]

I'm recording a quick tutorial about 3D operators in Fusion to recreate basically the clouds flyby. Check the flyby video and get the tutorial soon at http://www.onickz.com/fusion

[sadrazam]

I can wayt to see that:)

[Anthonie]

hella yeah thanx for the tuts
Someone told me shake is nowadays only for mac? is that true?

[Tagger]

there hasnt been a windows version of shake for the last 4 years or so. It's still available on linux though

[Anthonie]

wow. not for 4 years. Ok I understand that Mac is stable and everything, but.. why stopping on bringing it out on Windows. Surely it didn't sell that bad?

[TastyKellogg]

I honestly would buy it if they made for Windows. It;s like $250? or so for Mac right? I think that's way below than reasonable price. Are they totally discontinuing or is another company goiing to pick up and make it under their brand name?

Thanks

Fusion Object Removal Techniques

[isotropy]

Hey All,

I just wanted to let you know that I've added another huge fusion tutorial to http://vfxhaiku.com

In-depth Node Based Compositing with Eyeon Fusion (http://vfxhaiku.com/2010/03/in-depth-node-based-compositing-tutorial-with-eyeon-fusion)

This tutorial revolves around a shot that was created for the Open Cut 3.0 challenge that was held last year. All sorts of topics are covered from keying, particles, light-wrap, blending, colour correction, etc...

I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks!

[DSW]

This is GREAT Kert - thanks! Your MultiPass Compositing tutorial for Fusion was VERY helpful and I refer back to it quite a bit since I'm still learning Fusion. Also got the Cinema4D and Fusion tute - though I work in Lightwave it is still very useful for Fusion info.


Again - THANKS!

[savat]

hei kert,
thanks for sharing your knowledge so accurate ... great site, great tutorials!

[isotropy]

Thanks All!

I'm glad you're enjoying the tutorials!

[Opeth]

Hey everyone.
Just posted a video tutorial showing some production use of Fusion and some techniques.
Hope you enjoy it

in fusion....by using import psd command u can import a psd by separating its layers .....by using a merge b/w those layers u can easily can able to change the modes.....

[marner0501]

Hello every one. I am new in fusion and I need help. I want to zoom in the flow just scrolling a mouse wheel and not using keyboard shortcut CTRL+ mouse wheel. but I can't find where I can change this options. I'm using eyeon Fusion 6.14. thanks in advance

[venkataramana1987]

hi this is venkat........you have to press and hold both left and middle mouse buttons and just pan on veiw/node panes/in script pane anywahere.

[BiGMaCHiNe]

Anyone got the technical know on how to select downstream/upstream nodes via python scripting? Not sure how to implement the GetConnectedOutputs() within the python env causing me a bit of grief.

cheers

edit:
Ive managed to get this to work. but it seems VERY cumbersome. There needs to be far better documentation on peyeonscript... Alot of the LUA processes dont transfer over, or at least not in obvious forms...

try:
origin_tool.Output.GetConnectedInputs(1)[1.0]
for t in tools:
if str(origin_tool.Output.GetConnectedInputs(1)[1.0]) == str(tools[t].Input) or \
str(origin_tool.Output.GetConnectedInputs(1)[1.0]) == str(tools[t].Foreground):
print 'success'
print origin_tool.Name, ' is connected to ', tools[t].Name
except:
print origin_tool.Name, 'not connected'

So im assuming now at least I can test and get names for the objects and their connections that ill be able to recursively test objects/connections and gradually move upstream/downstream..

Seems like alot of effort for just moving across one node...
