Fusion Particles - Embers

[@villepakarinen]

Dude... "Let's get started". Not telling us where you were born, which school you went to, what your dog's name is etc. This is how you start a tutorial!

[@exosoul]

Thanks for the tut! Love the pace. Straight to the point. This might come in handy if I don’t want to make the particles in 3D. Or to enhance what I already have. Starting to use Fusion again at home since at work we use Nuke. Sorry for the people who find this too fast. If you can’t keep up I would suggest watching the entire video first before touching fusion. Then going along. This is usually the pace pros want because they can hear what he’s doing and know where the nodes are, or what they do. Just keep practicing and you’ll eventually get there.

[@statixvfx1793]

cheers buddy, thanks for the comment! Hoping to do a few more videos soon. I believe this is going to be an interesting year for Fusion users :)

[@tudorc.stamate5523]

This is by far one of the best tutorials for particles in Fusion. Thank you sir!

[@statixvfx1793]

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[@colonelbarker]

This was a fantastic tutorial. To the point, clear and concise. I was able to follow along perfectly and understand why and how you were doing each element. Thanks for making it.

[@IIGummies]

Perfect tutorial, was able to follow along decently with no prior experience with fusion or the like. Thanks man!

[@system.machine]

And BOOM! Just like that, you have a new subscriber. Great explanation all-throughout. I even picked up a few things I have yet to hear anyone else speak of before now.😎

[@statixvfx1793]

Thanks buddy. I havent been doing much videos lately but hope to do a few more soon. Let me know if there any subjects that would be of interest.

[@system.machine]

@@statixvfx1793 Since you asked... There are two (possibly) related particle effects I have not figured out how to replicate yet. I know it can be done in Fusion, because I have seen a preset someone put out that does a very basic (and mostly useless) version of these two examples. The two reference examples are both found in the standalone version of Particle Illusion by BorisFX (free). I very much dislike their software interface, enough so that I stopped working with it entirely. ANYWAY...the two examples can be found in the Emitters_2021.0 set (free). The first is called "Confettii Hair Waves", and that is not a typo. The second is called "Twin Turbulent Lines Trail". Both are about half way down the list in that emitters set. It's those connecting lines that has tripped me up. You'll see it immediately if you have a look at either or those. I can 100% say, if you do tutorial videos on one, or both of those, I would likely be watching them multiple times, and probably add them to my DaVinci Resolve reference group.

[@TheMotionComic.]

Amazing, more Fusion particles tutorials please!

[@NetworkDirection]

This is great! I'm going to use what I've learned here for end screens on my channel Thanks!

[@filmmakeranto]

Man, been looking for you all over the internet. Thank you so much for the tutorial., Keep those amazing ones coming.

[@4.0.4]

What a nice effect! I'm amazed you cranked the samples all the way up and they still look like not enough samples, somehow.

[@terrapinhollowstudios5020]

This was a wonderful tutorial. I was able to follow you step by step. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

[@chubbychaser00izu]

Hi, Could the uploader or someone else tell me what he did to make the screen go from Alpha background to a black background. He clicked something that looked like Smr at the bottom of the screen? It happened around 3:50 to 3:52. I am stuck there. Thank you.

[@kosimusik]

CAN THIS BE RENDERED IN RESOLVE 16? AND COULD YOU PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON "HOW TO IMPORT AND USE THIS EFFECT AS PRESET" TUTORIAL PLEASE???

[@Altek2k]

This is amazing. Couldn't quite follow how you copied the pov to the camara, but none the less amazing. Have a sub. Thanks.

[@statixvfx1793]

You can right click on the "Perspective" text in the bottom left of your viewer when in 3d mode. You can use the "Copy POV to..." button. :)

[@AscheregenSN]

And my older GPU is going on fire :-D nice tutorial!!!

[@Astlaus]

The result is actually surprisingly nice.

[@statixvfx1793]

Cheers, a lot can be done if you combine coming with elemement making!

[@khodakovsky]

The incredible lesson of amazing effect. Very many thanks!

[@otium8]

Really good tutorial, thank you so much for sharing this knowledge.

[@theanythingcook7879]

Great video I will be using this effect now in my videos! Thank you for the tutorial!

[@OMG3Dmax]

hi Bro, please tell me how to make the particles repeat from the initial frame to the last, the meaning is to be looped?

[@austingresham349]

Holy cow! Awesome effect!

[@MoreHace]

hey man, keep up the good work! im moving from AE and Premiere to blackmagic free products and its good to see theres tuts and such available. Cheers!

[@theLoRenZo2221]

Just one word : BRILLIANT ;-) And thx for sharing files !!!

[@statixvfx1793]

thanks, appreciate the feedback. Feel free to share the channel :)

[@theLoRenZo2221]

I will ;-)

[@MEGATestberichte]

I saw a shell and i instant liked the video :)

[@peterjedruskicgartist9958]

Great tutorial. Thanks for posting!

[@aimfail]

half way through and my MacBook Pro 15 2014 cannot take that DOF settings.. tried to render it out from that point. and it takes 1h34m ¨

[@kire_S]

tried 3 times but seems my fusion software doesnt work the same way. Impossible to make them look round and set a depth of field...

[@samuelpalutka186]

what is your procesor and graphic cart ?

[@AbrEvig]

Very useful indeed! Subscribed!

[@TerenceKearns]

This is awesome. I'm gonna try it in Resolve 15.2

[@chanruzzi]

Really useful, thank you!

[@dmytromats3690]

Hi! Great tutorial! I was following step by step in the Davinci Resolve 16, but when I activate Depth of Field my parts just don't show up. How can I fix that?

[@CptCurk]

issue with davinci resolve 16 also : I'm having a alpha chanel on the viewer instead of black background. How to turn off that chanel view ?

[@OurMillionAdventures]

@@CptCurk you can turn off the alpha display from the three dot menu top right "Checker Underlay"

[@OurMillionAdventures]

I had this same issue. In Resolve you have to connect the end of the node chain to "mediaOut" and have your color Corrector between the renderer and mediaOut, then things show up and it looks like the tutorial. Also make sure to turn off the "HiQ" anti-aliasing settings in the Render 3D node or it will be super slow rendering while you are adjusting parameters.

[@TomSidProductions]

What linux distro are you using?

[@statixvfx1793]

At the time of recording, Manjaro. But ive since switched back to Xubuntu

[@rano12321]

@@statixvfx1793 Bro, please make more tutorials in Fusion.

[@muafaa]

can i use it inside resolve 16?

[@betterbinary8864]

dumb question, can this be merged with actual footage like the normal vfx?

[@statixvfx1793]

Sure, just use a properly tracked camera and do some regular comping. Im just sharing the techniques for the embers here, not how to integrate them. Perhaps a later tutorial?

[@krystofkalina3882]

statix vfx please yes! I to would wanna know how to make them work in real scene

[@AlecProductions]

Awesome tutorial. Unfortunately I get a lot of black frames once I activate open GL... any way to check the compatibility for rendering it that way?

[@statixvfx1793]

You should use a somewhat modern (2010+) OpenGL compatible card with Fusion. Make sure you've got all the drivers installed. You can still do this without the OpenGL render and use the software render, but you'll loose the "free" depth of field effects with the accumulation settings; which is a openGL only feature.

[@AlecProductions]

Got it, thanks for the fast response!

[@TuhinBhai]

Please upload more fusion tutorials regarding motion graphics, thanks.

[@Jysky]

What is the benefit of launching a program through the shell? How is it different than hitting app icon? Cheers!

[@statixvfx1793]

A shell lets you set environment variables before you launch your tool. For instances we have different versions of fusion and houdini running for different jobs, same with storage locations and other variables that changes based on projects. Fusion is set up to recognize the variables and makes it easy to have good defaults that on a pr project basis instead of a general one for all. Hope that makes sense :)

[@8bitmagic]

Everything worked up until I got to the party with accumulation effects, which did nothing when I enabled them and moved the slider around... :p dunno what I'm doing wrong

[@awds142]

awesome work!!!! thanks for sharing. may i know what is your computer specification?

[@TheBurntSushi]

Wow I'm getting nowhere near your 9 frames a second with a decent rig in 2020, any tips for that or mind sharing your rig? :O

[@rowanholford]

Hey, Great tutorial. Is it possible to import COMP files into fusion on Resolve 15?

[@respekt200]

The best.

[@renderdreality]

You are going to fast for a person to notice what you are doing and comprehending it. Take your time, we are here to learn it, your mouse is moving so fast I can't really tell where you're clicking at times when try to look at the player to see the effect of the setting change. By the time I do that, you already clicking the next setting, and I miss what you click and only see the player change and not know why.

[@statixvfx1793]

Hi, thanks for the feedback. These videos are aimed at experienced users, and I'm cutting out any un-needed fluff. If there are areas you're missing out on I suggest pausing or doing repeat watches. Also, you can download the comps beforehand so you'll have the results up front.

[@renderdreality]

statix vfx hello, I really am glad that you are cutting out the fluff, it is just that you are going to fast for basic human consumption. And pausing now and then on a tutorial is normal, but the speed at which you are clicking around makes it very difficult to just following and comprehend and look at the screen and then the settings. It is just to fast to register, the brain just needs a moment to acknowledge what it saw and to make quick sense of it. I regularly watch Autodesk smoke and flame tutorials and we all know how complex that app is. So my request is just to slow down enough so that what you have done registers.

[@CptCurk]

I'm basicly a fusion beginer... And I really love those tutos. Just pause and do it ! It's better to do 10 differents effects in an hour than 1. But it's just me. That mean that guys is not a good one for you, you don't like the way he is doing stuff ! :)

[@LimeProd]

brilliant can we have more tutorials please

[@PabloGreg]

Great tutorial, Thanks!

[@sahir74]

liked it .. thanks for a good tutorial

[@RandomRotation]

nice tutorial! thanks for sharing.

[@JoshFloor]

Holy shit this is really helpful and I don't even have fusion

[@Archaic-Visionary]

Following along this tutorial in 2022 via Davinci Resolve 18 and the Fusion tool works only up to an extent and most of the steps you list out are unsaid and/or skipped, so I feel like there's a whole lot that you've left out especially since the Fusion tool within DavinciResolve is identical to the stand-alone Fusion software. An updated tutorial with more in-depth step-by-step instructions would definitely be appreciated.

[@statixvfx1793]

Its for intermediate / advanced users. I make assumptions about the viewers prior knowledge. I will probably never do step by step tutorials sorry.

[@takedowngaming9958]

Thanks

[@xavierlx]

Wow this is too fast I have a little experience apparently not enough to keep up.

[@SrujanRaghavendra-y9h]

Excellent tutorial. I wish you if you could be little slower.
