Version 5.5 gets Maya integration
by David Nagel, Executive Producer
Adobe After Effects is coming to OS X sooner rather than later. Adobe today announced After Effects 5.5, which will natively support OS X when it's released in the first quarter of 2002. It will also receive a number of additional features, including integration with Alias|Wavefront Maya (in the Production Bundle), multiple views, colored shadows, stained glass lighting and the Advanced 3D Renderer, which is used for rendering layers that intersect. Adobe also says that version 5.5 will be the fastest version yet.
Part 4 of our series on how to create your own Photoshop plugins
by David Nagel, Executive Producer
We've now been through three tutorials on how to make your own effects filters for Adobe Photoshop. Aside from creating the actual effects, we also walked through the process of turning the effects into self-contained plugins that you could use at a later date or even distribute to your colleagues and friends, if for no other reason than you want to show off your new-found knowledge of how to make your own filters. It's a great accomplishment, to be sure, but so far the filters you've created look ... well ... ugly. Not the effects themselves, but the interface of your actual plugins. This week we will remedy that.

Paint effect plugin for editing and compositing programs
by Kevin Schmitt, Contributing Editor
Have you ever had a project where you've said to yourself, "Geez, if only this video clip looked more like an oil painting?" Or, maybe it's a watercolor effect you've been longing for. Whatever your painterly desires, and regardless of whether you've even looked at a real paintbrush, RE:Vision Effects claims to have the solution: Video Gogh.
The designer's guide to working with Photoshop's Filter Factory
by David Nagel, Executive Producer
Over the last few weeks we've looked at two ways to create custom filters for Adobe Photoshop. Both of these methods involved Filter Factory, a free plugin that comes with Photoshop. Filter Factory is a tool that lets you write your own Photoshop filters. It's distinguished from the other Photoshop filter creation tools out there by the fact that it's the only one available for the Macintosh and also the fact that it's free.
Company plans OS X release early in 2002
by David Nagel
Digital Anarchy, a developer of plugins for Adobe After Effects, has acquired Psunami from Atomic Power. Psunami is a plugin designed for creating photographic water effects in After Effects, as well as other 3D effects. Digital Anarchy says it plans to release an OS X version of the plugin early next year. The deal is effective immediately, and Psunami is now available on Digital Anarchy's Web site for evaluation or purchase.
