New After Effects Physics Tool, Procreate’s Bold Move & a MoGraph Hiring Spree | Motion Mondays

New tools for After Effects, a generative image free-for-all, and some awesome motion design work!

This week, we're talking about Physim, a new Physics tool for After Effects, Procreate’s bold stance against AI in digital art, and some exciting professional opportunities in the industry.

We’ll also take a nostalgic trip down mograph memory lane with the iconic "Battle of the Album Covers," explore the mind-blowing 3D world of Gaussian splats, and check out some jaw-dropping type animation from Flat White Motion. Finally we’ll dive into a new Render Farm tool for After Effects and look at two very different approaches to generative imagery from Google’s Imagen3 and X’s Grok. Strap in because where we’re going, we don’t need IP Lawyers!
