That's what you picked out from this whole video 🤣🤣🤣

3D cameras don't have anything to do with the project resolution. They have their own sensory size etc that's independent from the resolution of the shots. I don't use C4D but I would imagine you just need to set the project resolution to be the correct size when you first make the scene. I do the same in Blender

It achieves the same result. I like working with it as a mask and then grading as needed

Yes I'm aware. Blender doesn't have a pref pass but it can be made with a shader and a bit of fiddling

Glad it was helpful!

I hope so! I'm going to buy the new Pyxis when it comes out in a few weeks

Thanks! Haha ok, I'll have a think about it

Haha thank you!

The footage and project files are available on my Patreon 👍 www.patreon.com/posts/91867354?

@@AlfieVaughan can you send this for free?

No

I agree. A better base of tutorials would make it easier to adopt

Thanks! Good point. I'll try and do that next time

The webcam has nothing to do with VFX 😉 It's because it was super dark in the room so the webcam shutter speed was really slow to compensate!

Thank you! Hope you liked it :)

Glad you liked it!

Thanks! I wouldn't say Maya has more integration with nuke tools. There's no overlap other than custom tools studios have made themselves. You're probably better off using blender in a small team

@@AlfieVaughan Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I have a small team and we don't have enough budget to buy blender and Maya, so I was looking for a solution for high-end VFX without breaking the bank account.. So I'll follow your experience and use Nuke + Blender

I don't get paid to promote Nuke. I just reached out to them after paying for Nuke myself for a couple of years and asked if they would be interested in providing a license. Which they did in exchange for me making some of their official tutorials. I don't think it changes my perspective at all. And like I said, if I wasn't getting it for free I would totally pay for Indie

Working at some of the best VFX studios in the world for 7 years? 🤷‍♂️ But in all seriousness, by definition a professional is someone that gets paid to do a job. I get paid to spend 50+ hours a week working as a compositor. How's that?

😅

I don't, sorry. I always render my motion blur in 3D as it looks better and makes the comp less heavy. But all you should have to do is add a vector blur node, set the vector channel to the motion vectors and then increase the strength. I also usually set the drop down to uniform which makes it behave better

Ah good! I'm glad. I've also got a video about my whole workflow that you might like. It's not blender to fusion but there's probably some gems in there too in terms of render setup etc from Blender

oh boy, took me some time to figure out how to deal with Agx (too used to linear workflow)

Haha that's definitely a bonus 😁

How is it a plus that you’re the only person using it. You can’t pass off the project, or collaborate with ease. If you go on vacation or are sick no one can open your project. Don’t say job security either because the moment those situations arise a smart lead [producer or owner] would restructure. I also don’t know why you have 20 computers rendering composites from a single artist when one decent computer can handle it in the evenings. Don’t tell me you’re using other people’s stations while they’re working. 🤦‍♂️

@I3ra that's quite a quite a narrow minded perspective in my opinion... While technically you're right about it being difficult to hand off, if you're doing a shot that you know will definitely not be picked up by someone else then it's not a big deal. Other software can have tools and things that are uniquely useful and good for problem solving. I've been using blender quite extensively for the last 7 years while working as a compositor at VFX studios. No one else uses it and can't pick it up if I do something in blender. But for standalone work where I know it's just me, it's solved some enormous problems that would have taken 5 times as long to do solely in comp. As for the render farm, valid point but maybe their individual machines aren't that good? I've also done jobs at 15k that took 7 hours to render overnight. If you're working late and need to send something quicker than 7 hours then it could be a 21 minute render with other machines. More power is never a bad thing

Thanks! A lot of people have asked for it but I don't feel like I know fusion well enough to teach it. What you see in this video is more or less everything I've learned to do in it 🤣

Does it also work with the all the other channels in a multi layer exr? Everything I tried only applied the distortion to rgb

No problem

I didn't notice a speed difference between the 2 in this video but the comps were quite simple. Probably not the best test

@@AlfieVaughan at some point I read opinions about how Fusion or Davinci was much faster since it took better use of Nvidia GPU, even of multiple cards at the same time, but seeing how Nuke is much more expensive, maybe that's not true.

@RealTimeFilms I don't know enough to go e a valid perspective on that I don't think 🤣 But nuke has a lot of GPU accelerated nodes too. Especially for heavy stuff

I use Flame for running the edits at work. I haven't done any comping with it but we use it for conform/ online etc. I think it's great. I'd much rather comp in Nuke which I still do but as a timeline tool flame is brilliant

@@AlfieVaughan I'm curious about swapping out Flame Online for Fusion Online. We Grade in Resolve and to have both in 1 package would save a lot of time and headache exporting back and forward between the two. Do you think Fusion is a capable competitor to Flame for 2D Online work like that?

@marty9369 it's difficult to say as I haven't done any online in resolve. But it's a very capable editing software... So I don't see why not

Thanks a lot! Yeah it was a few weeks doing it around work

As in a step by step on the fusion part of the video? Comping the CG?

Good luck!

@@AlfieVaughan thanks!

Thanks!

It still is comparable. Deep compositing isn't a useful feature to 99% of people using the software

You can't arrange them properly but there are several different layout presets to choose from under the fusion --> layout menu

@@AlfieVaughan aahaa. Got it. Thanks

Thanks! Could be but I doubt it as several 3D softwares are able to render it so it's not exclusive in that sense. I think it's more likely no one else has bothered putting it in a compositor as it's not an important feature to 99% of the user base

@@AlfieVaughan fair, here at least BMD is trying to be competitive on the USD front :)

Thank you! Yeah it's much better in my opinion

Thanks a lot! 🙏

Are you thinking of deep pixel compositing? They're not the same thing... Fusion doesn't support the type of deep I'm demonstrating in Nuke in this video

Thanks! I didn't really put any thought into the grade 🤣 just upped the contrast and saturation and added a vignette. It was just meant to be a cheesy look rather than anything serious

​@@AlfieVaughan Yea I know! I am actually surprised you made yourself try fusion. I use it as my comp app, but only because I don't comp much. For me Nuke just clicks, channels, masks, everything seams well thought-out. Fusion often feels like 3 softwares glued together. Even node connecting is pain. If I's comp a lot, I'd pay for nuke.

Thanks! The process depends a lot on who is making the film and what level it's at. For example, a small college film would only be a few major steps whereas a big film is hundreds. Generally it's idea, script, story board, location planning, casting, costume design, general pre-production all come first. Then shooting and sometimes additional pickups. Then offline editing, offline, VFX, sound, colour... A very long process.

@@AlfieVaughan 🙏 Thanks! You gained a new sub today 😜. It's commendable to reply to every single comment on a video that was uploaded 7 years ago! I will definitely make some movies, no matter how small they are. I aim to make a movie every week. I hope I get better with time and experience.

Definitely!

Thank you! I'm using Resolve Studio here

🤣🤣🤣

There's definitely a sweet spot. The jump from 2k to 4k is horrible. Even on the machines at work that cost $20k+ each. It's exponentially slower to playback, track, render etc. I think you'd be surprised to hear that almost everything still delivers in HD (or 2K), even films for cinema screens. Most projects I work on are shot in either 4.6k or 6k which is the native res for the cameras (usually an Arri Alexa mini). But when we ingest the footage our colour department scans everything down to 2.8k which is what we work on and the final deliveries are usually HD. High Res cameras have been around for years already, like the RED helium etc that shoot 8k. We work with that footage all the time just never at native res. So the 17k black magic files won't be worked on at 17k either. It's not physically possible even with the best computers

That's exactly what I do for my videos. I edit and grade in resolve and think it's fantastic at both of those things. But for the VFX I export everything to EXR sequences and work in Nuke and Blender. I've got a whole video about it. It's slightly due an update but you get the idea... ua-cam.com/video/dlSOkXT7Lxk/v-deo.htmlsi=2wSKbHsUNzLh2EhM

Thanks! It's actually not an insta360 it's a Ricoh Theta Z1. And in terms of workflow with this camera, there is none 🤣 It merged and stitches the HDRI in camera which as far as I know no other 360 camera does at the moment. Very expensive... But save a lot of time. So the files come out the camera as 32bit EXRs and can go straight into Nuke/Blender for use

But are you merging with photishop? Because when I do that, I never get such a clean image like you. My ist still overexposed. So I must lower the exposure in the 3d packet. But then Imthe picture is to black.

Nope. All the merging is done in the camera. I don't have to process it at all. It literally comes out the camera ready to use. That's why I bought it

That was in my "what's it like to work at a VFX studio" video. It's still live!

@@AlfieVaughan Ok Thank You
