Fusion 5 In-depth 3D

Running time 4 hours 12 mins.

This In-depth 3D course is designed specifically for people who already know Fusion but want to increase their understanding of how the 3D system works, and benefit from some industry hints and tips in producing more complicated setups. Designed with production in mind, all modules are tool focused and application based to help you understand not only how something works but why it does and how you would use it in a production environment.

We have reduced the price of this DVD by 50% because of the changes made to the 3D system in Version 6. The vast majority of the DVD is still very relevant and we have included notes below explaining the differences between version 5 and 6. If you are in any doubt please eMail us your questions.

1. General 3D Overview

  • Building a basic 3D scene using primitives, cameras, lights and render node.

2. Working with Geometry

  • Covers Fusion’s 3D primitives, materials, uv texture mapping .fbx files, importing baked animation and deformation nodes.
    Changes in Fusion 6 include: Mattes and Blend operations in 3D primitives, along with an FBX Export tool.

3. Understanding Cameras and Lights

  • Covers Camera, importing baked animation for Camera, Point Cloud data, Projector Camera, Lights, Shadow setup, and Shadow passes.
    Changes in Fusion 6 include: Cameras now have stereoscopic functionality and the Projector camera has multiples ways of outputting its projection data.

4. Miscellaneous 3D Tools

  • Covers Replace Material, Transmittance, Duplicate and Transform.
    Changes in Fusion 6 include: Replace Material has been totally re-written, Duplicate now has a randomness (Jitter) function plus the copies control is now a range (first->last), and can be made negative.

5. Rendering

  • Covers Software Renderer, OGL Renderer, Output Channels, Motion Blur and Lighting options.
    Changes in Fusion 6 include: Major update to the OGL renderer plus some slight changes in output capabilities of the Software Renderer.

BONUS LESSONS

6. Gas Works Composite

  • Breakdown of composite designed for eyeon which illustrates many of the 3D areas covered.

7. Maya 2 Fusion

  • Covers creating a simple scene in Maya 8.5, Rendering a Beauty Pass, Baking the Camera data, Exporting models as .fbx files and importing / setup within Fusion.
