Part 2: Beauty work using frequency separation in Fusion
In part one we learned how to track a face using Resolve Surface Tracker and round trip the stabilized face through Fusion. In this part we finish the task by using a frequency separation technique to do the beauty work in Fusion.
After tracking and stabilizing comes complexion smoothing
All beauty work requires tracking since living beings are poor at staying perfectly still. To simplify our work, instead of tracking individual shapes and strokes to the moving image, we stabilize the face (essentially, making it as still as possible), clean it up, and then warp/re-animate it back to its original plate. This is where the Surface Tracker may really shine!
In this Insight, we’re limiting ourselves to the specific task of complexion smoothing. We avoid geometry changes like enlarging the lips, moving the eyes, etc.
About beauty work
Beauty work is a big subject. It’s a very specialized discipline which takes a long time to master. It’s not something that can be easily distilled in a single tutorial. And even this two-part Insight is rather complicated for the uninitiated. However, if you are experienced with this type of work, the Surface Tracker can be a very useful, and welcome, new tool.
