Traditional Animation Plugin for After Effects & AI Uprezzing Gets Crazy | Motion Mondays
Traditional animation is coming to After Effects, video upscaling goes BIG, and Blender’s beta bonanza.
This week, discover the exciting new traditional animation tool coming to After Effects, see how Topaz Labs is revolutionizing video uprezzing with their Project Starlight AI technology, and celebrate Photoshop's 35th birthday with a look at how far digital design has come.
We also dive into Wacom's first major Intuos Pro update since 2017, Blender 4.4's beta features, check out Maxon's updates to Red Giant and Universe, and look at amazing work from studios like Buff Motion and Colosseum.
Joey will be speaking at AEPDX in Portland this Thursday, and don't miss our NAB MoGraph Meetup happening April 6th in Las Vegas.
