Shape Shifting in AE, New Tools from Maxon, Virtual Monitors are Here | Motion Mondays
New After Effects Plugins, infinite monitors, and a Roomba for Gaussian Splatting!
This week, we dive into a slice of motion design history with Digital Kitchen's legendary "Designer Slash Model" parody, check out a promising new shape-morphing tool for After Effects, and explore Autodesk's Wonder Animation that's bringing AI assistance to 3D workflows.
Plus, Apple Vision Pro gets a killer feature with infinite virtual monitors, Maxon drops some early holiday gifts with new Red Giant Universe plugins, and Active Splat's robot helper brings a fresh approach to Gaussian mapping. We're also checking out incredible work from around the world, the CGCookie topology guide, and Puget Systems' hardware deep-dive.
