I want to start using the wireless link node... but it is just for 2D nodes.
I want to unclutter my comps where my models have a mountain of spiderwebs from so many objects and surface shaders.

as one can see from the screengrab, the 3D merge bringing all the mesh together has somewhere between two and a hundred inputs and I have only got 1/4 of this completed so far.

I haven't tried a wireless link tool yet because I already see a few problems that stop me:
- wireless link (WiL) 2D tool
-...

this is a much more elegant way to hide inputs.
i can see it's hidden by the ghosted pipes, plus their direction helps indicate it's source, and the pipe appears if i mouse over where it is.

much nicer than how nuke does it; where it's just plain gone and a lazy artist not identifying a hidden input just causes chaos later.

i do wish one had the ability to make the ghosted pipes a bit longer if desired so they show up easier but it is a huge help with this feature.
thanks for helping me find...

Valve

Last post by Chad « 4 weeks 1 day ago

by Chad » 4 weeks 1 day ago

Often I wish there was a valve tool that would behave like a piperouter (heck, it could be added to a piperouter instead), but could be made to optionally output null.

Right now, most tools don't have an option to ignore an input. It's implied in the GUI and general UX that if a connection exists, the input will provide the data and thus a request is made.

So if you want to see what the tool would look like if there was no input, you have to disconnect it. Instead, I would like the option to...

[LD] Loader Global In/Out linked to frame numbering on disk

First post

I would love to see an option added in the Loader so that frames follow the frame numbering on disk.

So say a frame sequence runs from 1001-1030, when loaded, would see a Loader's Global In set to 1001 and the Global Out to 1030.

(Even when the comp's Global In/Out would not extend to those frames I would still like to see the files' place in time fixed to their frame numbers.)

fold down calendar

Hello everyone,

one question. Is there a tool that simulates a calendar that changes the number when you fold it down. Intersection of the fold down should be the middle of the numbers. If it was still there in 2020, the upper half of the second 2 over the horizontal middle and folds down and then 2010 is there?
Thank you very much for your help and best regards
Roberto

No worries. Why don't you try and get started and set something up? It'll be a fun learning project.

[CTra] Camera Tracker - Supervised/User Tracks

Many (most) 3D Trackers have the capability to create supervised tracking points, set by and adjusted by the user, in order to supplement and/or guide auto-tracking. Fusion's Camera Tracker would benefit from the ability to add existing point tracks and paths in order to supplement the data produced by automatically generated trackers.

An example of PFTrack's User Track node, followed by an Auto Track, showing both types of tracking points.

Hey,

I know this isn't a proper feature request site, I still wanted to post here in hopes that other people might have answers to this, or more people can voice these requests if they deem them worthy. :)

1.My biggest annoyance is the pTurbulence. It's seems to copy the velocity to the particles instead of adding it with a speed limit. This results in very choppy and hectic results because particles don't gradually change their direction. Instead they can completely change the direction...

Yes, that was particularly (see what I did there??) insightful! I was (and am) really impressed with what you did there!

USD is clearly the future of interchange formats for CG and VFX. SideFX's impressive commitment to it via H18/Solrais, Autodesk joining in on the fun with Anima lLogic and its active push is going to make some serious waves in the community.

Fusion really could use an update to its now ageing 3d toolset, especially on the rendering and shading side of things. Luckily USD caters to not just the file format and geometry but also how rendering are handled.

USD targets its own rendering scheme...

AI for UV Unwrapping

Happy Holidays everyone.
Imagine in BMD would implement AI for UV unwrapping,
How many hours of work saved, That would put Fusion back on the map.
I got the idea when I saw this on YouTube.

Thoughts?

Last post

Indeed. BMD doesn't need UV editing, it needs UV management. Give the users the ability to swizzle and copy UV channels and then pass off the UV editing to some other application.

Plexus / Krokodove Connect3D tool

Is there anyway to do Plexus like effects in Fusion 16? I read that Krokodove's Connect 3D tool can do that, but it doesn't seem to work in Fusion 16 unless I missed something.

Last post

I don’t really mind the interface. It is indeed annoying to be looking for some stuff but once you find them back, you’re good. And I was used to work on a laptop for years, now I’m working on a 27’’ so it’s like party for me. I don’t mind Fu16’s interface anymore :D
Just missing KKD but I’m crossing fingers :D
