Page 1 pCustom and pCustomForce are two very powerful tools in Blackmagic Design Fusion / DaVinci Resolve. Unfortunately they aren’t that well documented. This is why I decided to create a page dedicated to pCustom examples and use-cases. This should help you to achieve more with particle simulations in Fusion....Continue reading
In this tutorial, I will show you how to use Change Strings to quickly change several Filepaths and Filenames in several Loaders and Savers at the same time. This will be a huge time saver and spare you a lot of work. First, you will need to download Change Strings...Continue reading
Keeping nodes organized is vital to efficiently working in Blackmagicdesign Fusion or DaVinci Resolve. But unfortunately, Fusions naming behavior when copying nodes or tools can be annoying. Instead of counting upwards (like other 3D, VFX, or Motion Graphics Applications), Fusion will append a “_1” behind the original name. In this...Continue reading
A question I see asked a lot in Forums is, how to animate opacity in Fusion. Especially After Effects users often find themselves confused since there is no Opacity or Transparency slider for each layer, or in Fusions case, Node branch. Thankfully it’s quite easy and here are 3 different...Continue reading
Scripts are a great way of automating tasks. Most professional applications that are used to create content, support them in one way or another. This of course includes Blackmagicdesign Fusion Standalone and DaVinci Resolve. Both applications support both Lua and Python Scripting. Coincidentally, I have recently released my very first...Continue reading
You rarely want to have your animation set to linear. In most cases, you want to smooth your animations. In this QuickTip, I will show you how to use the Spline Editor to add an Ease In and Ease Out to your animations and teach you time saving shortcuts. You...Continue reading
Page 1 Foreword Hi, I’m Noah and today we will be creating animations like this 100% inside of Fusion. While this tutorial is quite long, all individual parts of this animation are very simple and easy to understand. On our way to rendering, we will be learning how to create...Continue reading
Say you want to enhance your Animation in Fusion by adding 3D Godrays as I have done in the video below. This is very easily done in Fusion, by using the Volume Fog Node. The Volume Fog creates a 3D Volume like many 3D applications would do and can even...Continue reading
If you want to emit particles from an image in Fusion you could simply use the pImageEmitter Node. But perhaps you already have an existing Emitter in your scene, like I have in the video below, and are happy with your current settings. This is why I am going to...Continue reading
