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.

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...

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?

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.

fusion could use something that can cut mesh like in a slice.
if you use an image plane to do this; setting it to a matte object; in the viewer it was cut but tools downstream still see all the mesh
the krokodove cut tool does something like this but it is limited to a set 'thickness'
if there is something already existing that can do this, i'd love to know what it is...

It would be really great to have a grain removal tool in Fusion just like Nuke's Denoiser Node. The Remove Noise node in Fusion just doesn't do the trick. I know we can always count on third party plug-ins or apps to get the job done, but I really wanted to have it without the need to spend almost the price of a Fusion Studio license in a plug-in like NeatVideo just to deal with grain!

i probably already asked this before but don't recall any answer so forgive me if i am repeating myself-
is there anything that is comparable to the edge bleed tool in nuke that exists in fusion?
perhaps a macro or fuse?
just looking for some additional keying tools and that sucker in nuke is pretty darn helpful for what it is.
thanks,
