      Hi,
      Big problem with davinci studio 16.1,cant do anything from tutorial time(5.12).
      And maybe you can provide your ligthsaber.setting file,so we just replace it in our work flow. I hope will work with davinci studio 16.1

    TMD,
    a really intensive tutorial,
    and now knowing about the Custom Controller is super useful,
    I did find this tutorial is a bit above my level for DaVinci Resolve,
    but in the future, this could be mind blowing and super useful.
    A useful Effect for myself would be to have Light or dark Smoke coming from a Chimney or chimneys,
    or Fire from the top of a hand held stake (when exploring in the dark)
    and Gun Flashes & smoke from Gun Barrels.
    and, just a thought,
    when you were describing the the Location of the Folder for FX,
    when using Icon View, and double clicking each folder,
    if you go to Finder Menu Bar,
    View Menu,
    Show "Path Bar"
    Then at the Bottom of your Window,
    there will be a horizontal path of all the folders you have navigated to get to the Target Folder,
    visually this may be easier for us learners to understand,
    I wrote down the path fo future use,
    Also you can double click any folder in this "Path Bar" to open it
    It's a shame DaVinci Resolve doesn't have an easier Save option.
    Sorry for this rambling Post, and Thank You.

    Once you hit 'enter' on the first expression, the point link doesn't show up immediately. Maybe a short edit to add a note to tell everyone how to get it up (I ended up needing to reload the node by clicking away and back) would be helpful -- oops! Looks like it was a bug in Resolve - seems to have sorted itself out with a restart!

  • @ACoderThatMakesFilms
    @ACoderThatMakesFilms 4 роки тому +8

    Been waiting for an updated Da Vinci tutorial on this. I was going to switch to Hitfilm express because they have a lightsaber built-in by default. The only thing I would like to learn is how to move it in 3D space, as a lightsaber really does or taper the edges at the very least? The way I’m thinking, which would take a long time, is have a rectangle and key frame the four points?

    • @JARofEMUS
      @JARofEMUS 4 роки тому +1

      I can't figure out the 3D space part other than using a 3D cylinder but this makes it incredibly more complicated and resource heavy. I came here hoping to find a solution to this using the paint node with a z space option for the points somehow.

    • @Hallbog
      @Hallbog 4 роки тому +2

      You don't have to worry about 3d space if you use four points and continuously draw a rectangle frame by frame. You likely won't be able to use his "divide and conquer" technique of key framing. if you move it frame by frame you'll have pretty good results....much better than what he came up with. You'll also notice if the saber goes behind something you'll need to either mask it out with an alpha channel or you'll just need to make a more elaborate shape for the lightsaber itself. To get really good results this takes time...and by time I mean a CRAZY amount of time. But the end results will be better. Don't take shortcuts and it will look pretty good.

      Seems that I spoke too soon. This is my first experience with this software, I've used AE and Hitfilm. But you immediately started doing things that you don't show or explain. 😖
      Whatever you did to start the Fusion comp was lost on me.

  • @caterpillow
    @caterpillow 4 роки тому +2

    Very nice tutorial! But I was wondering how you could implement a motion tracker. I would like to put two stickers on either end of the toy saber, track the points, and then link the points of the light sabers to the trackers. I think this could potentially save a lot of time with longer animations and get a smoother result (if it is possible).

    • @ThatModernDude
