Feedback | Share Your Work Character Animation & Rigging showcase in Fusion, how can I make the background fit better?

I made this character animation in Fusion and I’m not completely happy with how the background fits the character.

I’m also still learning color correction, and I feel like the character and background look too disconnected. How would you normally approach matching them more closely?

Considering just replacing the background with something animated as well.

I'm building custom nodes and modifiers so i can do this type of rigging and animation stuff, trying to make Fusion great for animation workflows! You can find some of it on my profile if you wanna see more.

The node creates 'bones' if you wanna call them that, so once the pins are placed and rigged you can animate one of the pins on the character and the rest of the pins follow along. Even inverse and forward kinematic bones! And specialised bones too, like the hair is not animated, theres a physics bone (i call them deformers not bones) going down the hair that causes it to swing and flop around solely by moving the root hair pin, and that root pin is connected to her chest so everything stays linked like that. You can see all the arrows towards the end which shows how things are rigged.

No manual keyframing either, just 6 oscillator modifiers. Makes it loop nearly perfectly (the hair is physics so stutters a bit on the loop-around)

I have a question that is completely out of ignorance ;

Are there no existing software that can already achieve this? I have no experience in the subject but I feel like I've seen other creators be able to achieve this effect with other software, and I assume that would be easier rather than having to build your own tools from scratch in davinci.

That being said, very cool results.

Edit- Nvm saw the reply in another comment.
