Realistic 3D Fog Effect - Davinci Resolve Fusion

[@laucean-music]

Awesome ! There are many small tutorials but I had to watch this video directly. Even if it's 30 minutes... but at least the result is awesome and I got everything on my mind ! Thank you !

[@obba_kannadiga]

Awesome!.. I used this method to add fog to my drone footage with the fog fade in and fade out in Z direction. Looks amazing. Thanks for this detailed video.

[@AUPackmule]

This is going to be so helpful for many different applications. Thank you Karry

Stellar tutorial and super helpful

Quite an awesome class! Thank you!

It's the first tutorial in my life which really helped!! Thank you very much

Thank you

[@NOMOFilms]

This was fantastic, thanks for this tutorial Kerry!

[@Martinkellydop]

Brilliant stuff. So easy to follow. Great explanation and well paced. Thanks so much.

[@WilliamThomasAnderson]

Great tutorial, one issue of note is when saving the EXR files, be sure to save the file name as one word or have an underline between two or more words as Resolve won't recognize the EXR file names with spaces between words... Yes it took some head scratching to figure that out because of course when I saved my Fast Fog EXR files I made the mistake of using a space and I made multiple attempts of import which were unsuccessful, close and opened Resolve a few times which didn't change anything and then it dawned on me to re export the EXR files with a new name and bingo, all is well.

AWESOME!!! This was a very easy to follow tutorial. Hopefully you'll be able to see these particle in my intros soon ;)

Excellent tutorial

Perfect lesson! Thank you!

Thank you, very well explained.

[@boundless1972]

I'm on a mac... you say do shift space to add fast noise node. Shift space? What did that bring up? You went through that a bit quick. thanks

Freakin Great Tut, Thanks!

when i'm with light and enable at the time 24:26, the smoke always comes out black

[@stephanreipoler5407]

Thank you very much for this great tutorial! The fog, you've created is fantastic natural. I have a question about the fog: How can I create the effect, that the fog is coming from right and is moving down to the left, as if the fog seeing on the camera is disappearing backwards into the frame.

[@david_farmer]

This is a great tutorial thank you! I've been trying to figure out how to make the end result look like we're walking INTO the fog. So it starts in the distance and moves toward and then past us. I'm sure it must involve inserting the Camera3D in here but I'm struggling with it. If you have any quick tips for this I'd welcome them!

[@flohasit9038]

Great tutorial - thanks!

[@riuzerrj206]

thanks a lot

[@very9000]

Hi 🤝 friend. My problem is this: when playing, clouds appear suddenly and in jerks, there is no smooth movement of the clouds. Help, solve the problem if you know

[@HowToFTO]

Great. Thanks!!

[@rikvanschaaik8443]

I'm getting all kinds of overlapping issues with the fast noise bitmaps. Any ideas? :)

[@healthwise2105]

Thank You

[@Teasuti]

Is there anything can be done regarding that the particles shouldn't flicker when they coming into contact with the 3D objects? This happened after you'd introduced the turbulence. My guess is that the particles flying through the letters from an angle to the camera, and as soon as the mid point is inside the letter the whole texture disappears, and then reappears when the mid point resurfaces on the other side. Also, I made a camera animation based on this tutorial. Same particle effect and the 3D camera is flying through the cloud. Problem is that as soon as the camera passes a particle, latter is vanishing in an instant. Can it be faded to disappear in front of the camera instead, so it looks natural? Thank you!

[@FilmmakerCentral]

+Teasuti just some fine tuning, I’ll do a follow up video when I get a chance

[@judithhaller1680]

Hi Kerry, interesting Tutorial, can you also please create a 3D Snow Effect in Fusion ?

[@FilmmakerCentral]

That would just be a change in the direction of the flow and changing the image from the FastNoise created "blob" to a snowflake.

[@judithhaller1680]

@@FilmmakerCentral Hello Kerry, it is not that simple, i tried a few things, but it doesn't look very good or realistic, Maybe you can keep it in mind and make a small tutorial, when winter is coming ;-)

[@FilmmakerCentral]

I will certainly do it at some point

[@DRMAULIKSHAH]

Great. A small query regarding chroma key. I am using Da Vinci Resolve 15. While chroma keyed layer is shrunken or reduced after chroma key it shrinks background layer as well. It's annoying especially in compositing. Any solution?

[@FilmmakerCentral]

If you start with your footage and later add a fog effect, you should be fine, The order that things are added can determine the project resolution and you may need to manually set that in some nodes to prevent issues. If you are only doing ChromaKey, you shouldnt have any issues.

[@speeveboy23]

my question is if it will work for videos

[@Teasuti]

Also I spotted that in the media pool it says [0000-0000] next to the opened exr file. It to me means that only the first frame is opened. And if I watch closely I can see that all the puffs are identical. All of them. :( I left out the saver node, fed the Fast Noise straight into the pEmitter (didn't seem to choke my rig at all with proxies), but I can't make it produce unique particles in one frame no matter what I try (animate at particle birth time, etc). Is there any way I can do this? I can make it render different texture on different frames, but all the particles emitted in one frame look identical. Can't I make all of them unique somehow? Thank you!

[@KerryGarrison]

Hmmmm.....yeah, it should have imported them as a sequence. I will look into this.

[@Teasuti]

@@KerryGarrison easy fix though, just open all the files. Regarding the other issue, looks like pEmitter will take only one sample per frame, so all the particles will look exactly the same emitted in one frame. :(

[@KerryGarrison]

@@Teasuti You need to set a keyframe at the beginning and end and change some settings to get some variety.

[@g-d-v-p]

Handy, thanks. Mind you, my fog disappears when I switch from the Software renderer. Fast Noise is good but do you think the Fog tools would work for this look?

[@FilmmakerCentral]

+Guy Dillon there are different ways to generate fog, this is just one example. I will be doing more soon.

[@obiokezie1078]

My pc cant doesn't recognize the exr files. Is there a downloader i need ti install for it to read it?

[@FilmmakerCentral]

Only Resolve needs to recognize the files, your PC doesn't need to know what to do with them

[@olenakorop3510]

Привет 🤝 друг. У меня проблема такая: при проигрывании, облака возникают внезапно и рывками , нет плавности движения облаков. Помоги, решить проблему, если знаешь

[@driftingmelodies]

will it work on video also?

[@FilmmakerCentral]

You can do almost anything, but the more you throw at it, the beefier the computer you need to process it.

[@Hunselmann]

There are some awkward things happening with the fog :/ (flickering)

[@FilmmakerCentral]

In the video? At what point?

[@Hunselmann]

@@FilmmakerCentral e.g. sec 43,44,45 right side of the animation. Maybe i know the reason... does the fog fade when "life" ends? I had the same issue in Hitfilm some time ago.

[@FilmmakerCentral]

@@Hunselmann I think that is a lighting issue, I didn't notice that before, I will have to play with the project and figure out why

[@NaliamCantero]

LIke the idea, I'm complete noob with the compositor, but don't like final result. May be light composition and final colour too brownish.

[@FilmmakerCentral]

+Naliam Cantero it can take playing with it to get the desired result

I think This is Outdated. 1:20 you have already lost me

It was done using version 16, so it is not outdated

@@FilmmakerCentral perhaps this is driven towards your existing audience that understands where you find the menus you are pulling things like the fusion composition tool... 1st thing, from.

Im new to this trying to learn, I was able to use an old video form version 15. where things are different I was easily able to work around. your video made me feel like an idiot... cant follow the first 3 steps. I never claim to be smart but I can usually get a good understanding of things.
