    You skipped the part where you give the Polygon line its "border width" to make the line visible, as a beginner I was going crazy for 10 minutes because of that.
    Excellent video by the way, it was just what I was looking for, thank you!

    Excellent video! I got so excited I stopped halfway through, spent a day adding a dozen sparks the first way, then played the rest of the video and nearly fell off my chair. In minutes, I replaced all my nodes with the BlitzFX, etc. Great exercise. Thank you!

    I'm trying the first method, everything looks connected like in your video, but for some reason displace or fast noise does nothing... at the end it outputs the same straight line I made in the very first node :/

    You can also instead of adding that first displace, animate a polygon mask and add a displace and multiple glow nodes, if you want a more controlled lightning bolt. of course, it is similar to the first lightning bolt you made, and you beat me to making a tutorial for it. Congratulations.

    • @NomadRProductions
      @NomadRProductions  2 роки тому

      That would definitely work! I have a weird obsession with making things procedurally, which is why I used the two displaces. But animating it would give a lot more control.

  • @NealWiser
    @NealWiser 8 місяців тому +1

    I'm following this tutorial to the letter, but several things are missing in the first minute that are messing up everything.
    1) The background color won't switch to white. The viewer stays black. Yes, the Background node is selected.
    2) The Polygon does not appear in the viewer and the background doesn't switch to the checkboxes. After playing around, I did get the Polygone to appear over the black background by clicking on the Polygon node, but it keeps disappearing when I click outside of the node.
    3) When I go to change the Fastnoise setting, the Polygon disappears and the changes aren't present when I select the Polygon again. I did select all the nodes, but that doesn't help and on your screen, they're so close together that I can't tell if anything is connected.
    Obviously, I'm new to Fusion, but you missed some basic steps, so there's no point in going further as everything builds off these initial steps.
    Please advise.

    • @TheDadVRDriver
      @TheDadVRDriver 2 місяці тому

      I agree. I have my displace selected and can see the Polygon after giving it a border width, but my background won't go white and any changes that I make to the displace or fast noise don't affect the Polygon at all. I have everything connected as in the video too and the settings for the displace and fast noise are the same as the vid

    Hi! Thanks for this tutorial - longtime editor here who's avoided Fusion for quite some time. Followed version 2 exactly, and in Fusion tab everything looks glowy and great, but back in the edit tab the fusion composition clip has the lightning but no color or glow. I've tried it on top of clips or alone, and with each overlay option. Any thoughts? Thanks for your help!

  • @ErisedMediaCo

    Just stumbled across your videos and I think I’ve watched almost all of them. Do you know if there is a trackable pin tool like in after effects? I’m trying to do Harry Potter type spells but the thing that makes them look so fake is that the tail doesn’t move with the wand unless you animate it to… but then the whole thing moves. I’d love a pin tool sort of like what the blitz plug-in does.

    • @NomadRProductions
      @NomadRProductions  Рік тому

      There are a couple of things you can try. If you have the studio version of Resolve you can try playing around with the warper node, it looks similar to the puppet pin in After Effects. I've never used it so I don't know if you can track the points, but it might work. If you have the free version, you could try playing around with the grid warp tool.

    • @NomadRProductions
      @NomadRProductions  2 роки тому

      One at a time. To add a tool, press Shift+Space. In the bottom-left corner of the screen it should say what version it is (for this video it was 16). There isn't usually much difference between versions, so if you are on a different version you can probably still follow along. To see the effect on screen you can select the node you want to see and press 1 or 2. I'm sorry if I didn't go into enough detail, and if you're still confused there are a lot of great beginner Fusion tutorials out there.

    This is terrible -at 0:20 you instruct on creating a strait line but don't show how to do this and therefore everything else that follows goes to hell. This is awful and only frustrates someone trying to learn how to use fusion. Now I am absolutely turned off and scared of fusion because there is n't any hope of being able to follow along and have a rewarding outcome. I had to once again go back to AE to get a simple lightning effect for a kids video.

    • @NomadRProductions
      @NomadRProductions  Рік тому

      I'm really sorry, I filmed that step but accidentally cut it out in editing and didn't notice until the video was uploaded. To make the line, with the polygon click on the screen and add two points. Then bring up the border width to give it thickness. I actually show that step in this video ua-cam.com/video/-xaDnW6tY9w/v-deo.html
      Really sorry about that, and I hope you give Fusion another chance. There are alot of great beginner tutorials out there. There is a bit of a learning curve at first, but once you get the hang of it you can make some really cool stuff.
