Sketches come to life in After Effects, It’s hip to be square (or cubed) in C4D, and humans get real with Character Creator 5!
This week we dive into the making of Severance Season 2's mind-bending intro sequence, revealing how a small team with clever 3D setups created something extraordinary. We also explore Rocket Lasso's new Voxel Mesher plugin for Cinema 4D that makes creating Minecraft-style effects easier than ever.
Also, Discover how Midjourney V7 is changing the game with draft mode and voice commands for lightning-fast concept generation. We showcase some stunning work including a throwback piece from Buck, featuring Christopher Walken, and Studio Hock's viral King Kong drone show prank.
Plus, get a first look at Character Creator 5's photorealistic humans, learn how to model a lightsaber in ZBrush for iPad, and see how Feather 3D lets you create illustrated 3D buildings that work natively in After Effects.
Finally, Maxon’s Seth Worley is making his Hollywood debut with his film "Sketch" hitting theaters August 6th - don't miss it!
