Monsters in Our Midst

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.

Caustic's New Visualizer Plug-in and Series2 Cards Bring Real-Time Ray-Tracing to 3D Applications

Three Recent Computer Graphics Books From Focal Press
Focal Press has always been a favorite publisher of mine. I've chosen three recent Focal Press releases to tell you about. The subjects range from starting out in Adobe Illustrator, to learning "secret weapons" to animate in Flash, to figuring out how to create original stories and characters for your animated film.

Carbon Scatter 2 - Make Billions!
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!
