anybody have tested deep compositing with fusion ?

Deep pixel compositing in Fusion is not the same thing as the deep compositing in nuke (it's was already called like this in Fusion way before the invention of the openEXR Deep image format).
In Fusion this is a cool techniques using position pass and other tricks, but this has nothing to do with the deep image rendering by Octane 3, only useful in Nuke.

So Fusion don't have the tools to deal with the deep data from Octane, for the moment.

Hi, thanks for answer.
I find a tute : http://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/13-fusi ... uld-watch/ ( #13 ) which explain the use of volume mask.
after some errors I can make some interresting things, but my problem is that it seems that the position buffer of Octane render don't look at the one he use. (not same colors ).
I show another tute on nuke, where they use combination of world position and point normal...
I'd like to use fusion as it is free....

Fusion is super fast, clean and free, I use it it for most of my compositing work but there is some not obvious things to master, specially how it deals with color depth and display Lut.

Hi,

As will be the case with all external plugins, the best time to look into Fusion will be after the release of Octane 3. Any feedback regarding how well Fusion works with Octane 3 would be greatly appreciated. There are quite a few external plugins on the Wanted List (Ornatrix, Forest Pack, etc), but this would be worth consideration at least.

I haven't used Fusion myself - I would need to see if this is specific to the MAX plugin, or if this is more of a Standalone issue. I will take a read into it and get back as soon as possible.

Hi Azen,

To avoid any misunderstanding, I wish to clarify that BlackMagicDesign Fusion is a compositing package (similar to Nuke) not an external plugin.

As to Fusion supporting deep data from Deep Image Exr, I think Octane team can't do much about it, this is up to Black-Magic to implement it in Fusion.
This is not like adding an exr plugin to Photoshop , actually Fusion could already read deep data from octane exr but it doesn't have any tools adapted to deal with this data.
As far as I know, only Nuke supports Deep Image Data and it has only a few specific tools to deal with it.

Anyway Fusion is already a great companion for Octane, especially since there is a free version, free also for commercial work
and I guess Deep Image Compositing is on the Fusion Road-map.

Is there a resource to learn the workflow between octane and fusion. I have downloaded it and looked at it a couple of times, but have no idea where to begin. It also doesn't seem to play well with the layered exr's as far as i can see.

No specific resource for using Fusion with Octane, but there's really nothing specific about that anyway, it's the same workflow from all 3D package.
But what is your issue with coposite EXR ? there shouldn't be any problem.
