Compositing 3D Renders in Fusion
In this series of lessons, we'll learn how to bring in multiple 3D render passes and composite the resulting image on top of a photograph using many tools and techniques. Software required: Fusion 6.0 for project files.
What you'll learn
In this series of lessons, we'll learn how to bring in multiple 3D render passes and composite the resulting image on top of a photograph using many tools and techniques. We'll begin this project by importing our layers and assembling them into a basic render of a car. We'll then learn how to create an advanced matte to cut out our car using the bitmap mask, matte control, and channel Booleans tools. We'll then learn several compositing tricks to help us really blend the foreground and background, such as reflection matching, lightwraping, color correction and grain matching. Software required: Fusion 6.0 for project files.
