Fusion 9.02 installation instructions are out of date about cryptomatte HOT 12 OPEN

Hi @arka-nantes,

Someone posted a possible solution here: https://www.steakunderwater.com/wesuckless/viewtopic.php?p=13136#p13136

Obviously not a long-term solution, but we still haven't investigated this issue in any detail so hopefully that helps you for the time being.

Hi
The solution work : place a 2nd copy of cryptomatte_utilities.lua to C:\Users[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Blackmagic Design\Fusion\Modules\Lua
Thanks

As it turns out, this is just an issue with installation instructions. The 9.0.2 instructions should be somewhat different than the 9.0.1 instructions.

Hi @arka-nantes

Thanks for checking in, Fusion 9.0.2 finally supports the path mapping of lua modules.
I will update the install instruction accordingly.

Hi @arka-nantes

Some news:

Although Fusion added some more support for the modules path, there still are some issues with it both on Windows and Linux. That's why the install instructions still mentions the lua directory for Windows but the usr directory for Linux. I have sent a ticket to BMD to answer my question(s) about the strange behavior of the modules in Fusion.

Otherwise, the required version has been updated and the repo structure for Fusion now resembles the tree of Fusion's root.

I'll keep this ticket open until I have my answers from BMD, and finally have a clear functioning deployment procedure in the docs.

Hi,

Fusion 9.0.2 still requires the Lua modules to be copied in both C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design\Fusion 9\Lua and C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design\Fusion 9\Modules\Lua. Fusion uses the first while starting up, but the second while you create nodes. I also had to get dkjson separately.

Hi @roelandschoukens

dkjson is a Fusion builtin module, you should not have the need to take care of that one yourself.
Did you encounter any issues regarding that module?

Hi @cedricduriau ,

I originally tried to install it on Fusion 9.0.0 which raised an error about that module. In 9.0.2 it indeed works without installing that module.

Thanks,

Hi @roelandschoukens

That is correct, quite a few things were important through the 9.0.0 - 9.0.2 releases of Fusion.
Glad that you got it to work!

Thanks @cedricduriau. Can this be closed or are the instructions still out of date?

from cryptomatte.

No problem @jonahfriedman.

I'd say keep it open for now. I have some changes regarding this in my fork's master branch.
I think I will expand the docs a little more then as well. Once that is merged, we can close all import/documentation related issues.

I'll keep you posted on the merge request.

1. cryptomatte_utilities.lua copied to:
   C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design\Fusion 9\Lua***
   C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design\Fusion 9\Modules***\Lua***
2. cryptomatte.fuse to C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design\Fusion 9\Fuses\Matte***
3. cryptomatte_shortcuts.fu to C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design\Fusion 9\Config***
