One of the most powerful features of Fusion is that the parameters of a node can control another.
This can be done with creating an instance of a node, expressions, or other modifiers.
Here, we explore the simple ability to publish data from one node’s parameters, and then reference that in another node.
It’s a great way to have the background color of one node affect the text color of another. Or the size of one item affect the position of another.
You can do just about anything with it, and it’s a super handy tool for creating motion graphics.
In this video from JayAreTV, you’ll learn about:
- What we can do with linked values
- Publishing parameters
