Couple of new things to post. First Fusion 6 is now available as a release candidate, available to anyone with a current valid subscription. Details are available at http://www.eyeonline.com/Web/EyeonWeb/Products/fusion6/fusion6.aspx.
Additionally, we have created a YouTube channel containing the first tutorial and demo videos for Fusion 6. You can find them at https://www.youtube.com/user/eyeonsoftware
Thanks,
Isaac Guenard
eyeon SoftwareIn the training classes I teach I discovered a lot of artists didn’t even know there was an XY Path modifier in Fusion. We improved the modifier a fair bit in Fusion 6 too – it’s cleaner, more functional, and now the tracker can use it too. So we’ve got a new short video this week, covering the XY Path modifier in general, and how to set it as the default for tracking in Fusion 6.

I am going to try and add one new video every week for the next 52 weeks. We brainstormed a long list of topics, and prepped a few videos in advance to cover busy weeks (like the upcoming Siggraph). I’ve said it publicly now, so feel free to get on my case if a Tuesday morning arrives and there is no new video.
Download links to get offline access to the videos is coming later this week, if all goes well, and I’ll try to get the transcriptions done soon too.
As a side note, I would love for these to be more accessible to non-english speakers, especially considering how quickly I tend to talk. If anyone narrates a matching length wav file for any of the videos in another language, or transcribes a translation, I will happily encode and upload a new version.
New monday, new video, just as promised. This one covers the creation, editing, care and feeding of Macro tools. You can check it out at
Yes, the video is two days late this week. I grovel for forgiveness. We had a last minute permissions problem with one of the videos (excuses, excuses) and I needed a last minute replacement. The good news is, that made me dig out some old hard drives, where I unearthed some gems from IBC 2008. In particular I found this awesome recording of Sven Neve from the House of Secrets demonstrating a Fusion 5.3 shot they created as part of a re-branding campaign for television station NL3.
Sven actually showed a total of 4 awesome shots, so you will likely hear his voice again later this year.

As a teaser for next week, mad genius / product specialist Robert Zeltsch came up with a nice approach to sub surface scattering in Fusion 6. It’s a two parter, and I’ll be releasing both videos and the example compositions next Monday. I have them all ready to go, so I can hit the publish button just before I jump in the car and drive off to New Orleans for Siggraph!
Speaking of New Orleans, Whenever possible I’ll be recording the booth demos this year, and so
far we have great demonstrations planned from Frantic Films, Worldwide Effects, and Anatomical Travelogue (thanks guys!). I’ll make sure the recordings all make it to the YouTube channel as quickly as possible so everyone can see what’s new, even if you can’t make it down to the Big Easy for Siggraph this year.This weeks video is actually two videos, because product specialist Robert Zeltsch needed more than 10 minutes to show you his neat technique for simulating subsurface scatter in Fusion 6. Subsurface scatter is a way of describing the behaviour of light when it passes through semi-translucent materials, such as skin.
The first video shows you how to assemble the components that make up the shader – diffuse, lightwrap, backlight, specular and reflection. The second video shows you how to assemble the components to create the wax material for a lit candle. Both videos come with examples you can download.
A new video is now available – showing how the Favorites tool category can be configured for quick access to commonly used Tools, Images, Clips, Settings, Macros and Fuses. Next weeks video will cover setting up a stand alone Bin server.

Hi Isaak! My name is Oleg and I’ll be glad to participate in translating in russian. Is it actual for now? I’m also registered on https://www.youtube.com/user/eyeonsoftware and can download every fusion video tutorial.
Best regards.Oleg Kurgansky
