Google Chrome: Speed Tests

I love Chrome (and pretty much anything Google), its extremely fast, has yet to crash on me and its features are quite convenient. On the speed factor: some speed tests were completed at actual web page rendering times. Also a making-of to see.

Linking nodes in fusion

Hi i want to know how i can link nodes to each other , like we can follow transform node data from another transform node or CC node from another CC node….

Wrap text in backdrop node

occasionally I do a lot of typing in backdrops nodes. Eventually, I resize these backdrops or reposition them. Is there a way I can have my text wrap based on the bdwidth and bdheight?

thanks

How to Create Realistic lookin Camera Shake with Fusion

Hey All,

I’ve finally got back into the swing of things, and I’ve got another Fusion tutorial up at http://vfxhaiku.com. In this tutorial, we take a look at how to create realisitc looking camera shake. Rather than using the stock Camera Shake node, we create our own custom shake using a transform and the shake modifier on various properties.

Hope you enjoy it!

Canon HFS20 Settings

Hi!
I’m thinking about using this camera to shoot my footage for my demo reel:

Will this be good enough? And so, what kind of settings should I use to avoid problems after? (Shutter, framerate, etc.)

I’ve read here that it might be hard to track footage from a CMOS camera, but i’m not concerned that much about that.

Thanks a lot

3D Track and Comp – Start to Finish

Hey guys,

I’m very experienced in the areas of 2D composites and motion graphics. I’ve done a lot of combining images, footage, stock elements, etc to make a shot. The problem is that I learn things as I have to do them. I’ve never been required to composite 3d models into a shot.

That said, I’m trying to learn how to do them using a 3d tracking program like Nuke, PF Track, or Boujou, but even still, I really want to understand how to create a cgi composite from start to finish.

I was wondering if anyone could list the workflow steps to creating a 3d composite shot (with movement so it would involve tracking) from pre-production to post production. This would include shooting the footage, at what point I’d need the model, would I need the maya project file or is there an output format that preserves the 3d data that would allow me to insert the model into the 2d shot and have the perspective change in conjunction with the camera? These are all things that I have utterly zero experience with. I’m meeting with some buddies this week who are going to show me how, but all in all I want to at least learn the mechanics and process before I meet up with them so I’m not a deer in the headlights.

Any info would be great, thanks.
