With two seasons of NBC’s Grimm now behind them, Portland, Oregon-based HIVE-FX has explored all sorts of ways to turn people into monsters. Now, thanks to a new pipeline they created between Maxon’s Cinema 4D, Autodesk’s Maya and Adobe’s After Effects, those fairy tale-inspired monsters are even more frightening, and in a more cinematic way, too.

Traditionally, 3D artists and designers have been forced to run many test renders in order to see what their work looks like in its final rendered state.

Carbon Scatter 2 is basically an advanced instancer. If you need millions, or perhaps billions, of things positioned pseudo-randomly (with tons of controls on exactly how that positioning occurs), Carbon Scatter 2 is worth investigating. It's a very deceptive little plug in. At first you think it's this simple, anemic little tool that you probably won't use much. Oh, how wrong you are! Kurt Foster [Modulok] - Staff Columnist |
The thinkTank backpacks are famous and are designed for carrying big lenses, especially for airport travel.

Some time ago I reviewed iPi Desktop Motion Capture, a very affordable motion capture solution from iPi Soft. This time I am coming back to this software, but from a different perspective: Game Development. A big part of indie game development is managing to do games “on the cheap,” because you don’t have deep pockets... Sergio Rosa [nemirc] - Sr Staff Writer |
