Knoll Light Factory CS5 is here

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Knoll Light Factory CS5 is here. So …. let’s animate a spline. Why ?  Why not.

Knoll CS5 is quite cool with easier editing of your light selections and the tuning you will do within each category. There is a preview editor that makes so much difference and much more sophisticated than before.

I know form had a preview editor, seems like different RedGiants did/didn’t but Light Factory might be seen by some as their flagship, I mean how many more Star Wars will there be … so it’s great that’s it’s ready to go with CS5 and has some significant improvements of it’s own.

So animate a spline ? I just can’t put down Cinema4 and since these guys love to play together … we’ll do a quickie to welcome KLF to the magical world of 64 bit AE (even if most of the lights are noted as 16)

welcome with a little sparkle, a little spline, and a humble expression from AE

spline path – aliens need energy after all

spline path – aliens need energy after all

animating a spline path in C4D can be just about anything. Energy connections, cellular growth, ‘mystical’ writing.
Define your skeletal outline, add a shape for your spline’s body, parent them with a sweep nurbs – I’d do C4D just for the crazy shape names. I wanna be nurb when i grow up …..

Summer Images Fire and Water

Summer Images Fire and Water

we still see the empty houses, and the broken asphalt

we see the boxes, and the lists,

it’s hot as fire, steam clouds your street

but the recovery …  hey …  is just at our feet …..

so … are you guys working ??

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

my dogcreek friends have a little different perspective.

I’m reminded of how  in Walden, Thoreau bemoans the many hours we spend working our life instead of living our Lives. It just doesn’t seem like the same possibility now but …

tell that to my fawn ….

Alpha Matte from AE and Illustrator

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

mattes are fun and even more when you use a text matte to reveal your message.

Of course there’s really no message here tonight but a simple text animation revealing some fishy activity. Candidate for a political add.

Cinema4D waterfall

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

one of the fun things about animation is …. relationships intended to produce a certain ‘look and feel’ … a certain effect .. might work just fine for something completely different.

Using the cloth tag and some friction/gravity relationships you can create a pretty friendly waterfall with plane layers sliding off one another. Play with the timing, surround with a nice cartoon landscape, get some bright reflective material for your bubbly water surface and …

together they produce a nice starter for your wild paradise wonderland.
