Fusion 6.0.0.408 RC Full
Fusion 6.0 is a major core architectural development that exploits the latest in computing technology.Multi-core optimized, GPU powered, Fusion 6 marks a major milestone in delivering a rich artist environment for creative production.
This chapter summarizes new features and changed behavior between Fusion 5.3 and Fusion 6.0. Where applicable, links are provided to further documentation.
The most extensive change to the core of Fusion 6 is the addition of Region of Interest and Domain of Definition (ROI/DOD). This profoundly affects how most tools in Fusion render internally, improving memory performance, providing an effectively infinite canvas or workspace, and allowing the artist to select a limited rendering window interactively. ROI and DOD can have a subtle but important effect on the behaviour and approach artists take to many tools in Fusion.
We strongly suggest that all artists take the time to read the Region of Interest and Domain of Definition chapter in full.
The 3D environment in Fusion has also been subjected to extensive changes with this release, predominately focused on the expansion of the basic materials
into a comprehensive and advanced lighting and material shader system. Over 25 new tools have been added with support for a wide range of lighting models, bumpmap and environmental textures, and greatly improved reflection and refraction. Far more options are available to artists who work on 3D and 2D
stereoscopic projects, with a multitude of methods for viewing and manipulating stereoscopic content. Artists who rely on camera projections will find their
capabilities greatly improved as well, with support for object transparency and new texture modes. In addition the OpenGL renderer has been rewritten to
significantly boost both features and quality, and is now capable of arbitrary-size production renders with full Supersampling and even Depth of Field, at impressive hardware-accelerated speeds.
A complete re-read of the Working in 3D chapter is strongly suggested for all artists.
