what 4 inches of snow won’t do for Nashberg. Grace delivered on Friday, weathermen predicted accurately on Thursday.
Pack up for the weekend at grocery of your choice – and play. What a great play snow it is complete with full ‘Wolf Moon’ Friday night, snow glistening in light, another few inches on Saturday
leaving no choice but to bundle up, light the fires, make trails with the dogs
embrace the Blue Silence …. and maybe catch on snow moon setting in the morning.
We like Dog Creek …
a little bidness collage, a little trapcode, a little shine ….. a little borrow from News Hour ….
if only our Crystal Ball could speak ….
speak about epiphany and vision
about light and comedy …. darkness and reflection.
Draw upon great minds …. or mind the hands who draw
comedy and light …..
if only we had a 2010 Crystal Ball.
epiphany and light
comedy and reflection.
Draw upon great minds or mind the hands who draw
Badaboom shall provide a glimpse of your CS5 future
Adobe CS5 is here with promises of lightning speed, real time edits, and drastically reduced render time. With Cuda, Mercury, and Nvidia on board, just what is in the Kool-aid ?
Several months ago I was relaxing on a family trip to Gulf Shores. As much as I relaxed …. my laptop kept whispering to me. I stumble into this article about lightning fast render speeds with Cuda technology offered by Nividia. I have Nividia cards in my machines and have been quite pleased but to be honest, when it comes to the specifics and tight performance measures between Nvidia and say, ATI Raedon, I’d rather use them than snooze them. I don’t read all the specs and probably wouldn’t understand it all if I did but when I see headlines like ‘reduce your render time by up to 80%’ … I start reading the specs. I even called a representative at Nivida and began to get a bit of education about these cards, Cuda technology and exactly how that falls into place with this new release of CS5.
‘Cuda’ is Nivida’s technology. Wikipedia will tell you that: CUDA is an acronym for Compute Unified Device Architecture, a parallel computing architecture developed by Nvidia. CUDA is the computing engine in NVIDIA GPUs GPUs that is accessible to software developers through industry standard programming languages.
If you have an Nividia card that does have Cuda technology you can take advantage of ‘Badaboom’ their single task, video rendering application that will render your high def video that used to take fifteen minutes …. in a matter of seconds.
Want to see the breakdown of different cards, accelerator enabled, working with or without ‘Mercury’ – contact

he loves to talk about video, memory, rendering, and real time editing.
need a little balance,
times of the days troubling you shift … a gyro
gift of the great philosophers .. guide of the Mariners .. key to Universal rhythm and dance
connection and chance
so …. it’s fun creating a little smoke with trapcode, and bouncing your magic objects with AE.
Let’s create custom particles, use our C4 objects as our sprite particles, give a little more life to our magician.
while we’re waiting for the CS5 shipments, and the trial download – I mean Cinema4d is plenty to entertain.
Maybe create some fantasy, a little cosmic game, a little trapcode, a little porch time, a little extra dimension … a little time ….

We hear CS5 has some special romance with Cinema4d. Simple techniques to export your Cinema file to AE, 64 bit memory addressing capability. There are many features which offer special performance that overlap with one another.
You need to have a 64 bit OS to address more than 3 gig of memory but 64 bit has been around for a while. Faster rendering comes with the cuda Nvidia cards but Badaboom has been around for a while too. And the marriage of cuda with the Mercury engine lets Premiere Pro do ‘real time’ editing and rendering in incredible reduced windows.
Yeah, many of these contributors have been around for a while but with CS5 rewritten for 64 bit, and the release of the Mercury engine, they all play nice together. It will be great fun to see the new creations but some of my greatest excitement will remain in the cutting room -
the movie will be just as creative as it was before … or not … the output will be quite similar and the viewing experience too. But the time editing and processing will be shattered ….
which should make for a happier, more creative crew. Let’s see !
