Fusion is free cad software. It has built in text generation in the sketch meny. I will just show a very simple example of what you can do. Experimenting with it creatively can result in great artistic work.
Click on the sketch icon. choose a plane to work on. Click in the sketch meny again on the text icon to draw some text on the sketch you are doing .
Here is the letters for Steemit inserted in the text tool.
I chose to extrude from the ground plane and downwards.

This time go into the sketch meny and choose Project. Click on top of each letter and project the top surface of the letters onto the sketch.
Next hit the letter O, for Offset, or click on it in the meny. Offset each edge on each letter to a distance just outside the original letter. The letters e have 'islands' in them and these has to be offset separately.
Now we have two solids (not true, each letter is a separate body), one for the smaller inner text and one for the larger outer text. Press A button for Appearance or find it in the meny. choose colors for the different parts as you choose.
Here is the outer bigger text bodies Blue. Inner smaller text bodies are white, AND the top surface of each letter is black. You can put an appearance on both a body and a surface.
Switch to render enviroment and fiddle with settings for ligt direction, grond reflections, etc etc. hit render and the reult is like the top image.
Good luck!

The universe contains no anomalies and the appearance of an anomaly is a warning that our understanding is inadequate.

New to Blackmagic Fusion? Get inspired and level up your skills with these must-watch Fusion tutorials.
With the recent release of the Fusion 8 beta, PC and Mac users alike can now use Fusion to create amazing VFX sequences. However, if you’re used to working with a layer-based software like After Effects, it can be incredibly daunting to try to figure out how to use a node-based software. That’s whywe’ve created this list of must-watch Fusion tutorials for beginners.
It’s a little strange at first, but once you get it down, Fusion can be a fantastic tool for compositing. Let’s begin!

10. Node-Based Compositing Tutorial with Fusion
Created by:Kert Gartner
In this tutorial from Kert Gartner, we take a look at the cinematic potential of Fusion. In the video, Gartner breaks down how he created a cool sci-fi shot using some pretty basic green screen footage. If you’re new to Fusion, the first thing you’ll probably notice is the collection of squares with lines connecting them at the bottom. That is actually called a node tree and it’s made up of effects and files. Think of it as a layered timeline, but instead of being stacked on top of each other, layers can be placed anywhere.
11. Mocha to Blackmagic Fusion
Created By:Imagineer Systems
Watch mission impossible online free streaming. Did you know that you can track footage in mocha and copy that tracking data into Fusion? In this video tutorial from VFX artist Steve Benjamin of Muse FX, we take a look at what a motion tracking workflow looks like in mocha and Fusion.
12. Normals Passes in After Effects and Fusion
Created by: Kert Gartner
When it comes to compositing, you want more than one pass of each 3D object. For example, you might have a depth pass, a color pass, a specular pass, etc. This gives you further control when you jump into your compositing software like After Effects or Fusion. In this video tutorial, we’ll look at how to work with multi-pass renders in both Fusion and After Effects.
13. Volume Mask Tool
Created by: Jeff Krebs
As you’ve probably already found out, Blackmagic Fusion is for serious VFX artists and compositors. In this tutorial from Jeff Krebs, we take a look at how to use a Volume Mask to isolate certain portions of your scene. In order to do this, you’ll need to export a world position pass in your 3D application.
If you want to learn Fusion from scratch, the best resource I can recommend right now is Digital Tutors. While it does cost money to subscribe, they currently have nine different courses that cover the basics of Fusion. If you do decide to go this route, I recommend checking out the Artist’s Guide to Fusion course first. I went from knowing absolutely nothing about nodes to exporting finished video in less than an hour after using this course.

The location of the files can differ depending on what learning material is being accessed (either the Learning Reference pages or the Adoption Portal):
In the Learning Reference Pages
To find the learning reference page files:
- Select Learn Fusion 360 from the Help menu.
- Select Learn More from the Get Started page.
Here, the example files can be found. Each individual exercise has its own example files.
In the Adoption Portal
In the Adoption Portal, the files can be found in two areas:
- On the Lesson Video pages, in the Lesson Files section.
- Within the Workshops and Events folder in the Fusion 360 Data Panel.
Notes:
- All the sample files are pre-installed in the cloud data rather than to a location on the local disk. Because of this, they do not need to be uploaded to the Data Panel as shown in some videos.
- Some learning material shows downloaded materials being uploaded to the Fusion 360 Data Panel from local file paths, These local file paths will vary depending on where downloads are stored on the computer.
