Thank you!

We Suck Less Lab

Where the future is being made, today.

Welcome to the WSL development corner!

In this forum, please post your development projects. You get kudos and feedback here.
Topics ideally have preset prefixes, and this is what they (might) mean:

[DEV] - very much work in progress, don't build a business on this, could go anywhere
[BETA] - should kinda do what it's supposed to do, please test, give feedback
[RC] - this may end up in Reactor soon, polishing up, now's the time for last minute thoughts
[ABD] - died a premature death, sadness, will not see the light of day ever (unless someone picks up the scraps)

Once a development project has been released (hurray), topics can be marked as - you guessed it - [RELEASED]

Development topics only, please. For generic questions, how-to's, questions and inquiries about existing tools etc, please go to the appropriate other forums.

[DEV] image based relight

First post

Here something I'm working on.
It needs some testing. Who wants to join in?
You need a NormalPass to make it work.

Basically what I'm doing is converting Normals into UVs (and somehow normalizing them) and using a Texture node.

Have a look and let me know your thoughts
ml_IBRelight.setting

Last post

Hehe, I see. There is of course the default Shader node that does this too, but regardless, it's always nice and inspiring to build things yourself so I don't want to spoil the fun.

[DEV] Blur Tracker - PoC (proof of concept)

Last post by Millolab « 4 days 21 hours ago

by Millolab » 4 days 21 hours ago

Based on my friend's bowserlm idea, here my take on the subject of matching rack focus almost automatically.

this video was the inspiration for both of us:

Fusion being resolution independent needed a somewhat different approach IMHO.
Here what I came up with

if you guys have any idea/advice on how to make this better please let me know, this is a very basic setup.

Here you can find the macro.

[RC] Batch Change Parameters

First post

As requested , Batch Change Parameters now handles Clip inputs in both Loaders and Savers. I also lifted Movalex 's pattern match feature from his Change Paths variant.

It was developed in Fusion 9, and I haven't tested it in v16 or in Resolve yet. Give it a whirl and see what happens.

I also need to check other filename fields, like the FBX and Alembic nodes, FileLUT, OCIO, and a few others.

Batch_Change_Parameters.lua

Last post

I've tested in Resolve 16 now, and it seems to work correctly, although the UI doesn't resize to expose the entire help field for Filename operations. That's merely cosmetic, though. If I don't hear of any functionality issues in the next couple of days, I'll submit the new version to Reactor.

[RC] Class Browser

First post

So, a while ago I created the Class Browser , a reference tool that I used when creating UIManager-based GUI:s. It's grown a bit since then and because it's not really targeted just for GUI creation I think it needs its own thread.

The script allows you to browse all Fusion (and Resolve) classes it can find, including all properties and methods. It does this by looking at three things:

Fusion's built-in script documentation, GetHelp()
The global _G table
The binary files (yes, it's a...

Excellent work, thank you !

Myself and Movalex , (with some good suggestion from danell ) we tried to create a tool that resemble the Curve Tool in Nuke. The way we're doing it is very simple. We are just using a Probe modifier and a script to bake the RGB values. I thought about a tool like this because I needed to know the absolute minimum pixel value of a 450 frames long clip and couldn't find any other solution.
So here a snapshot of what it looks like

The tool

and here the macro and the script that goes...

Last post

This looks really cool. There's one thing I don't understand though: what is the benefit of doing this through baking a curve instead of just using the Probe output?
What am I overlooking here?

ShadowMaker SdR The first thing that comes to mind: If for example you need to find the absolute minimum, or the absolute maximum of a clip.

Hello Everyone, how's it going?
I thought I'd try my luck and see if I can write a very simple fuse over the weekend.
I opened up the VFXpedia null fuse in Wordpad++,
Sat there for an hour, to figure out that...
The custom tool was made by Bryan Midgardsormr over in this topic
I just thought it would be fun to try to make a fuse, but I don't know where to start(besides VFXpedia).
I bet there are a lot of people here who might want to start writing fuses so I thought it might be interesting to...

Last post

SecondMan , if you have time, could you please try out this latest version?
I found some interesting things in a couple of chrisr 's fuses that I think could solve some issues.
The first one is dump(node:GetErrorLog()) , it lets the console know if there are errors in the kernel
and at which lines the errors are, which is something that I couldn't achieve before.

And the second is node:SetParamStructCopy(nil, 0) , This helps with preventing some memory leaks on the GPU (my GPU at least!)
I'm...

Hi,

sitting around at home(which to be honest is not much of a change from normal work life) I've been watching various stuff. I saw this video about creating interesting backgrounds.

In this he uses a tool call JSplacement which is really good, but it involves going into another program, exporting and perhaps resizing - it also doesn't let you animate the elements once created(except for translation etc of the image itself).

Having time on my hands I started working on a fuse that does...

Cool fuse!! It’s a little bit like plexus. Thanks Steve!!

[BETA] Euler Filter

Last post by danell « 1 month 1 week ago

by Midgardsormr » 1 month 2 weeks ago

First post

As pointed out in Fusion doesn't understand rotations beyond 360 degrees. We therefore wind up in a situation where rotating objects suddenly make a complete rotation, sometimes flipping back and forth repeatedly across the threshold, which creates quite a problem when motion blur is turned on.

For one or two objects, this is reasonably easy to fix, but if you have dozens, or hundreds, of 3d objects it can become prohibitive to address them all.

howiem wrote a filter for export from Houdini,...

Last post

Ok thanks! Maybe what I have found is only for fuses then... Gonna do some tests to doublecheck this. Sorry for going of topic! Will continue in my thread.

[DEV] Comp to generate VR image from 3D scene

Last post by fernando lamanna « 1 month 2 weeks ago

First post

Hello guys,
I want to present a comp that could help those who work with VR. It is intended to generate VR images from 3D scenes, created inside Fusion or imported from other applications. This comp was already used in an experimental VR film production on an university project (USP - Brazil).
Although Reactor already hosts a sophisticated VR solution (Karta VR), maybe WSL community would like to have a second way to deal with 3D and VR.
By the way, I´m relative new in Fusion (about 5 years)...

Hi Martin,
Sorry to comment back only now. Many problems about pandemic.
The ways I know about producing 3D models like you refer, take place trough photogrammetry, or 3D scanning, so you get a model very close to the real scene, while you you are capturing that with VR cams.
But you may take advantage of my comp to produce a 2.5D model from the scene captured with VR cams. The comp can project the VR image onto 3D surfaces,
even created inside Fusion. There is a lot of tutorials in YT showing...
