When I first opened Fusion, I had absolutely no idea what to do.
It took some time but I got the hang of how these nodes worked and how to merge. But that’s just the beginning!
There’s an infinite number of things you can create, and an equal number of methods you can use to make it.
The creative part is hard enough, so knowing the ins and outs of the software will help you save time.
There are tons of menus, hidden features, and workflow items to learn that will allow you to create better and faster.
I’d say this is essential viewing for anyone learning Fusion.
