Upgrade fixes some bugs, adds new worthwhile features
by Stephen Schleicher
Over the last ten years, I’ve used a variety of different editing systems, animation programs, and video formats. Regardless of what the system du jour was, there was always one application that I made sure I didn’t do without - Adobe After Effects. After Effects 5.0 opened up a whole new world for motion graphic artists and compositors, and 5.5 (the latest incarnation) takes content creation a step further.
Using Actions to process multiple files
by David Nagel
"I have a bazillion pictures that need to be rotated and resized. Is there any way to do this quickly in Photoshop?" I get asked this question all the time--or at least questions similar to this one. For those of you familiar with Photoshop's batch processing capabilities, you couldn't imagine doing it any other way. For those of you unfamiliar with batch processing, you're about to find out why.

High-end effects and compositing suite
by Kevin Schmitt
When the time comes to get down to brass tacks and write a review, I usually stick with a good ol' tried and true formula: I'll settle in with a product, give the tires a good kick, try to get some real-world work done with it and then write about the hijinks and hilarity that usually ensues. With this product, Discreet's unbelievably outstanding Combustion 2, I'm going to do something a little different.
Three excellent After Effects plug-ins from Sweden
by Paulo de Andrade
Shine, 3D Stroke and Sound Keys are three excellent Adobe After Effects plug-ins by Trapcode, a Swedish company run by Peder Norrby, who was part of the Cult Effects development team at Cycore. As I have pointed out on previous articles, some of the most creative and practical plug-ins these days come from smaller companies and these three are no exception.
Price Slashing Impacts 3D Graphics Industry
by Paulo de Andrade
Alias/Wavefront has reduced the price of Maya. Not just by a little bit, but significantly. Maya Complete, formerly priced at $7,500 will now sell for $1,999 and Maya Unlimited, which formerly sold for $16,000 will be priced at $6,999. The software remains the same and no features were removed in order to lower the prices. This means that Maya is now priced in the same category as traditional volume market 3D software such as Lightwave and MAX, which may very well be considered a landmark in the history of 3D graphics.
