GENIUS After Effects 3D Shader Hack & VFX Get Weird at the Superbowl | Motion Mondays
Wireframes in After Effects, VFX make things uncomfortably literal, and Rive gets blurs!
Motion designers get a new way to waste time with Keyframes.fun, featuring addictive color-matching games and frame rate rankings to settle those heated animator debates. Rive unveils an entirely new way to handle blurs with their vector feathering tech that's got UI designers drooling
Also a crafty new After Effects tutorial shows how to create 3D wireframes without leaving the app, and the Academy considers requiring AI disclosure for Oscar submissions as more films embrace AI-enhanced VFX.
Plus, a cautionary tale about claiming credit for work you didn't do (spoiler: don't), Blender gets native NPR rendering thanks to Dillon Gu Studios, and Element Supply drops a free plugin that makes clean plates a breeze.
We've also got killer work from Coliseum using Templater automation, Johan Borgstrom's mind-bending Lego car in Unreal Engine, and a roundup of this year's weirdest Super Bowl spots.
