3d Camera Tracking, lens distortion, ground reconstruction in Fusion / Resolve 17
zhlédnutí 17KPřed 3 lety
I haven't seen too many tutorials on dealing with the full pipe of doing 3d tracking in Fusion, so I figured I`d put a quick one together. We'll be tracking the footage, and using the point cloud to create a rough approximation of the ground/landscape. Use our lens distortion information to further fit the tracking data to our plate, and lastly use overscan rendering to expand the area the dist...

What can I do to get this geometry to act as a bounce collision for particles?
Amazing, more Fusion particles tutorials please!
Holly shit dude, this is amazing. Thank you!
Any tips getting this data out to Blender?
@@mtscott44 You can instance small spheres to the point cloud if you're setting the point cloud to renderable. You can instance using the replicate3d node and the fbx exporter node to save it out.
@@statixvfx1793 Cheers.
What linux distro are you using?
At the time of recording, Manjaro. But ive since switched back to Xubuntu
Learned some complex stuff in here. Particles in Fusion are nuts. Way better than Particular. It's no Houdini but to get a decent effect, once you know what you're doing, is not that hard. Thanks man. Made my first completely absurd node tree with this little exercise and I gotta say, it's a real wonderful way to work.
If you dive into the pCustom node it turns out its a lot closer to (old) houdini pops actually. Combine it with sets and you do some pretty advanced stuff!
Have anyone opinion how node based temporal node setup in blender/Fusion compares to Davinci Resolve Studio temporal denoising in terms of quality?
As soon as movement comes into play, davincis build-in temporal denoiser produces a blurry mess, unusable imo., but for static stuff its pretty good. It can't utilise the vector map, that's why the node based is much better but generating the vector map will add a bit of render time, for me it went from 0:46 to 1:02, still much worth it. When building this setup in blender, use blender 4.2, in the compositor side panel under settings: set it to GPU (it's 5x faster for me than cpu) But davinci is still a bit faster and easier to set up i get the best results by: -ideally denoise your render passes first individually in blenders compositor (don't denoise the Color passes, you would just loose details because they are usually noise free), then temporal denoise ("direct"and "indirect" passes (you could also add them together before denoising to save render time, if you don't need them seperated for post production)) -avoid animated noise seeds (adds more flickering) -increase resolution instead of samples for better quality (file size and denoising time is increasing tho, so you need to find the sweet spot for your system if vram isn't a limiting factor)
@@Lakus231 Thank you.
awesomeee this worked pretty well, ! any advice tho in how to reduce the noise in hair, I tried different things, so far this one is the best solution but just wondering if there is another tip you or someone else can share, thanks
Super fine detail and transparencies are the trickiest bits. But using the velocity vectors to add a bit of extra motion blur sometimes helps. You can push and pull the pixels back and forth so at least "smear" some of the noise away. At some point its just whatever tricks you have combined that works. Never a single solution.
Which method would you use? Temporal or multi pass demonise? Or both? Or would it be dependant on the scene?
Ideally both, but its highly dependent on the shot. Like mentioned in the video, hair/fur and transparencies can cause issues and would have to be solved slightly differently.
As you have suggested a similar approach for the blender compositor, would you recommend fusion or blender to run this temporal denosiing technique? Is there a difference between the two? Also, how does this compare to deflicker effect in resolve?
if you want to do it in blender, go with version 4.2 or above (in the compositor side panel under settings: set it to GPU, for me it's 5x faster than cpu) But davinci is even faster and easier to set up. results looked identically.
Stumbled on this just now from an old Fusion forum, and I'm absolutely stunned at how this works, and how well you showed it (and how damned fast your computer was able to process it!!) It looks like this channel has gone silent, but I'm going to learn as much as I can from it!!
Thank you, I just got busy with real world stuff. I have a pretty big backlog of lots of cool fusion things id love to share tho....need to find the time..
@statixvfx1793 so I use Fusion within the Davinci Resolve editor - looks like all the nodes you referenced here are there as well. Is it still possible to use Fusion outside of resolve?
@@TabletopToolbox Yes it is, and its the preferred way for a lot of things. Especially CPU and RAM usage. Fusion Standalone is much less hungry than in Resolve. Granted, there's a few nodes thats only available in ResolveFusion, like surfacetracker and reduce noise.
Hey dude you have a step by step video for this??? Because when I want to add the exr secuence images, it doesnt appear the node with the depth value (also the viewer node doesnt appear with z value), so I started wrong 😅 (and yes, I checked the box z on vuewlayer)
Second is not working - Black image
How can i use this mesh for casting shadows of for example a 3d text?
i use blender for that , just export the scene to fbx and do every thing in blender very easy
Now that I have finished creating the node, do I have to convert it to an image again, or can I convert it directly to a video? Please reply.
the node group can be figured out if you are really cleaver!!! you just have to know where to look. That hint is really misleading but thats what im giving you all!
thank you very much!
1000% most under rated video I have seen.
How can I render the video file from the temporal denoising method? I'm new to blender. I get into the compositing screen, can see the whole "video" from there but I don't know how to turn it into an actual video file without having to take hours to re-render everything again, which sounds kind of pointless to me, since the files are already rendered in there all denoised.
Wow!!!! This is MAGIC Thanks for sharing, Its really save a lot time to try and erro
I'm pretty new with cycles and I try to denoise using your multipass method, but I got problem denoising objects with refraction. Most of them appear much darker than it used too. Is there any way to tweak this?
Anybody know why I can't see the vector output in the compositor? I can't find anything in the forums and am so confused... I only get combined and alpha, vector is enabled, experimental, and developer extras, but I wanted to compare this to the built in temporal denoise... lolol I know this isn't a forum but if any yall know how to help, I'd appreciate it.
amazing tutorial, do you know how to apply the textures of the image to the mesh?
Very useful video. It's nice that you showed the results of each method!
Hey, was the project exported to fusion as an open ear multilayer ?
amazing
I did it on one of my video and its working nice. I have still a question, is there a way to smooth the mesh we obtain without add a lot of tracking point. But thanks again, that open a lot of doors to make some cool effects in camera tracking.
You can smooth the mesh by blurring the position/displacement image :) Granted that also means it'll interpolate between actual tracking points so the mesh will be less accurate.
@@statixvfx1793 I will try that, thx again
Hi I have a rather simple question at the temporal denoising you use the rgba data as well as the vector data, in my data export tab there is no rgba data to check, the one at the top is called "Combined" and i suppose its the same? but if I follow ur steps I cant replicate the displace effect, idk if thats due to the combine/rgba difference or wth...
Very interesting. So are there techniques for dealing with animated objects in scenes, then? Coz that's the problem I'm having at the moment.
what kind of input that proovide RGBA n vector for exr file?
@xandizandi2271 i'm on Blender 3.5 and missing the vector pass in the sequence node even though I've rendered the exr with the vector pass enabled. I can see the individual vector pass in the blender compositor viewer node as well as in after effects, so I know its being rendered. Any idea why this output is missing? EDIT(FIXED): I needed to add vector to the file output node and rerender and blender knew to pass the vector map through to that output.
High level tutorial, mesh construction from cameratracker is really missing in fusion, but you solved it :)
It’s a bit of a hack, but it helps :) Glad you enjoyed it.
amazing
This is brilliant, i wished you denoised the result tempral denoise render just to see how it's going to differ from straight up denoising each frame. Then I realized the noise actually looks like real noise from a camera foorage which make the scene more believable. thumbs up 👍
Thanks, the real power comes from balancing both temporal and spatial denoising and then re-graining where needed. This is especially true for any works where you have to integrate cg into plates.
Do you want to explain median denoise/ What's node group
hey, how many samples did you use ?
Can you do tutoral with blender ->fusion vfx compsiting pipeline in future? Something ike dynamic camera render from blender+ fusion vfx. There are almoust no good tutorials about that. Only nuke stuff... :-/. Or maybe you know any good one?
Hello how do you get the vector pass from blender ? I exported EXR multilayer with vector checked in the passes but can't see it in Resolve
Thank you for this in-depth tutorial! Beautiful scene. I'm still struggling with flicker even after using your technique. You can see it in your render as well at 7:52 if you look at the windows on the second floor of the building on the right. The only way that I've seen to get rid of this is using something like Neat Video to post-process with their tool. Do you have any new recommendations?
This looks more like z-fighting to me than flickering due to noise.
I can follow every part of the video but one. How are you getting an RGBa socket on the image node? I've tried everything I can think of in ver 3.3. I'm rendering to multilayer exr, full float, dwab lossless, with rgba checked in the output. I have my motion blur off and vector checked in the passes. I've tried so many variations and I never get an RGBa socket, I'm always left with the combined socket, the alpha socket, and the vector socket.
Wow, I never assumed that tracking points could generate uv's. Also crazy that it is possible to use the cleanplate note to fix the displacement. hanks for sharing al those awesome tips.
What are your PC specs?
you are a god
This is wildly informative. Such a cool technique. Thanks for sharing!
Amazing video! Will you make more video about fusion? I want to know how to make the AE Effect Plexus plugin in Davinci fusion! (like point and line staggered together)
does it work on Blender 3.5 I need it for this version?
tried 3 times but seems my fusion software doesnt work the same way. Impossible to make them look round and set a depth of field...
Thank you for this video, how does the median denoising work?
You gotta buy his product, or try to figure it out yourself, I'm afraid
Hi, Could the uploader or someone else tell me what he did to make the screen go from Alpha background to a black background. He clicked something that looked like Smr at the bottom of the screen? It happened around 3:50 to 3:52. I am stuck there. Thank you.
