We wanted to show our Fusion (software) users a few tips and tricks to adding explosion stock footage in your scene. Our instructor lectures on best practices of making an asteroid smash into the ground and causing an explosion to occur.
We are diving back into Nuke for another awesome tutorial! By the end of this post, you will have learned how to use the 3D projection node and turn 2D stock footage such as a photograph and some of our elements into a 3D scene.
