I’ve just released my next free Blackmagicdesign Fusion Tutorial on my YouTube channel:
https://www.youtube.com/pixeltrain3DVFXTrainings
This time I talk about Masking, the Polygon Mask tool and the BSpline Mask tool. You can follow along with DaVinci Resolve on the Fusion Page or in Fusion Studio.
Have fun!

After a longer pause I’ve released a new free tutorial on my YouTube channel. I hope you like it 🙂
👉 https://youtu.be/RTIdh-ZsbTo
In this tutorial, you will learn the general uses and workflows of Masks in Fusion / Fusion Page in Resolve.
You will learn the different Mask types in Fusion, the most important parameters and options when drawing them. Also we will look into how to combine Masks for complex shapes for Rotoscoping. And, we will talk about bitmap based Masks in Fusion and how to use the Magic Mask, the Bitmap Mask and the Paint Mask.
I hope you like this new tutorial.

We have good news for everyone who wants to dive into Blender, learn the Fundamentals, and beyond.
Together with Visualisierungs-Akademie Schweiz GmbH, I will host another season of Blender online workshops in 2023.
In this TrainingCycle you will learn everything you need to know in order to work and create with Blender. These are the three Moduls for you becoming a Blender Pro: We start the year with 2 days of Fundmental Online Class “Introduction to Blender” in January. In February we have 2 days deep dive into Blender Rendering – Eevee and Cycles, and then in March you learn Animation and Rigging to finish your TrainingCycle.
These workshops are in German or English language – as requested. So keep in touch 🙂
Of course, you can decide if you want to fullfill the whole TrainingCycle or if you rather choose just doing one or two Moduls depending on the topic you want to tackle.

Do you know BagaPie?
The BagaPie Modifier is an “all in one” free Blender addon, you can use it for any purpose by Antoine Bagattini.
Also watch the version V6 reel to understand a little bit more, what this great tool is capable of: https://youtu.be/FlLotEd0zFU
And the BagaPie version for Blender 3 feature reel:
It started as a collection of cool tools for lazy artists and has evolved over the last versions to a very powerful and useful multi tool for all kinds of operations.
I mostly use it for Scattering purposes of my own assets for nature scenes.
If supports a really fast scatter process, an easy to use Painting system for you instances, Proxies and also Camera Culling. Wow, and that’s for free!
But if you like the addon, you can get also the BagaPie Asset collection (around $55) which gives you around 200+ environment assets for your scenes.
More information and the free download:

Hope you like it!
