After Effects Text Tricks & NVIDIA’s Monster GPU | Motion Mondays

A real-time rendering beast, Blender gets recognized, and new tools for After Effects and C4D!

A game-changing Blender add-on brings Photoshop-style painting directly to 3D, NVIDIA announces the monster RTX 5090 GPU that's set to revolutionize real-time rendering, and the Blender-created film "Flow" takes home a Golden Globe in a major upset over Disney and Aardman.

Plus, we've got a clever After Effects expression trick that'll save you hours on multi-version projects, an interactive After Effects text tool, and new tool that makes working with C4D Expresso much easier. In addition, V-Ray finally arrives for Blender, and Joey Judkins launches an exciting new interactive animation studio.

As always, we're also showcasing incredible work from Andrea Love's felt stop-motion, David Daniels' mind-bending strata cut technique, and Melody Shih’s portfolio.
