[Submission] MT_FringeFighterTurbo

#1

Fringe Fighter Turbo emulates Nuke's Disjoint Over apply mode. Useful to handle the artifacting that appears when you merge smoke with holdout geo on top of the rendered geo (most noticeable with lots of motion blur).

What a delightfully descriptive name

Submitted, thanks!

Hey BMD, disjoint-over should be the default merge operation in a Merge node.

#4

It's handy to have, but it shouldn't be the default. Disjoint-over doesn't work for overlapping transparent objects. It's a very case-specific merge operation (it combines two different ones based on alpha values) specifically for non-overlapping objects.

Here's an example:

which also shows an issue with the Macro - @Midgardsormr, FringeFighter takes the DoD of the BG rather than the union of FG and BG.

#5

They say set Burn In to 1 will have the same effect in Fusion as Nuke's Disjoint Over merge. Is it true?

#6

I disagree. I'm aware of that (the math behind it is easy to understand), but with the work I do most, it is by far the best default solution. It's not even an option, which is actually the main point I was trying to make. A Disjoint-Over function should be added by BMD.

#7

It's not true

Burn-in of 1 will be the same as a Boolean Add (for an additive Merge), no matter the values of your alpha channels, whereas Disjoint-Over depends on those and be a combination of an Add and an Over.

That may well be true for your particular case, but simply merging a transparent key on a partly transparent background (say a fast moving airplane or Superman with long hair on top of a wispy cloud) will look very wrong - or not yield the expected result - with Disjoint-Over.

Curious. I'm not sure if there's anything in the CustomTool itself that could change that behavior, but here's an update with a SetDomain in the input, and cleaner code in the .setting file:

Thanks for the update, submitted!

@Midgardsormr I did my own version of this adding some more blend modes from Nuke. I came up to a simple solution for the DoD issue, maybe could help.

That's exactly what I said. And I rephrased my point (see above).

re the DoD and a custom tool, I brought it up a long time ago but I got a response along the lines of "this is normal." I don't think it is. I'd expect it to deal with the union Dod of BG and FG when dealing with 2 inputs. The disjoint-over macro I use also has a set domain in it. I'd love to see a custom tool take care of this though.

I think a BrightnessContrast with Alpha checked and Gain 0 would be more efficient than adding two more CustomTools. CT's expensive. Interesting use of expressions on the expression fields, though. Never thought of that. I'd probably have just used Dissolves to choose from several different CTs.

In any case, I think the SetDomain I used in the revised version is the most straightforward solution, since it's the tool designed for that purpose.

I totally missed the latest update!

I tried using a ChannelBooleans set to Clear but it was more expensive than the CT. Will try the BC.

It's called ROIDS for a reason.
