Welcome to this Fusion and Blender VFX Masterclass



What you will learn?


3D camera tracking in Fusion

How to setup reference 3D geometry in Fusion

Export tracked scene as FBX from Fusion to Blender

Import an animated character from Mixamo into your Blender scene

Matching lighting and shadows in Blender

Creating shadow catchers in Blender

How to setup render layers and render passes in Blender

Rendering a multi-layer EXR image sequence

Fusion Compositing - Merging render passes

Fusion Compositing - Vector motion blur and color correction

Fusion Compositing - Rotoscoping and using masks

Fusion Compositing - How to create a lightwrap

Fusion Compositing - Final grading and compositing effects



During this course I will take you step-by-step through my own personal VFX pipeline, from 3D Camera Tracking in Fusion, to building your 3D scene in Blender, importing an animated character from Mixamo, rendering different render passes and render layers - all the way to compositing our final shot using Fusion's amazing node based compositing system.



You will learn various compositing techniques in Fusion, including how to merge render passes, adding vector motion blur, color correction and grading, rotoscoping and using masks, how to create a lightwrap, as well as final compositing effects to spice up your renders.



I've specifically designed this course in such a way that anyone interested in learning VFX can follow along and create their own amazing shots.



The software used in this course is Davinci Resolve Studio 18.6 (which is the paid version) and Blender 4.0.2.
Some nodes are not available in the Free version of Davinci Resolve (such as the Camera Tracking Node) but most of the nodes I discuss in this course, are available in the Free version.



By the end of this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge to create your own stunning visual effects shots.



Here is a list of all the lessons in this course:
