Maxon takes on After Effects, the future of procreate is revealed, and a big update comes to Unreal Engine!

This week we're diving into some major industry moves, starting with Maxon's huge acquisition of Autograph that could shake up the compositing world. Unreal Engine 5.6 finally dropped with those motion design tools we've been waiting for, and we'll show you some incredible experiments from artist Jesse Pitela who's been pushing these new features to their limits.

Plus, Kyle Webster teases Procreate 5.4’s new brush library overhaul, Adobe teases Dynamic Text for Photoshop, and there's a sweet new Animate Parallax plugin for After Effects that makes 2.5D depth effects a breeze. We've got a bittersweet farewell to the VFX and Chill crew with their final CC Ball Action music video, and we're showcasing some stunning textile simulation work from Loop Studio that's a masterclass in knitting sims.

We're also highlighting some amazing work from our student Ori Zlotnik who beat creative burnout through learning animation and checking out Casey Gu's killer Cinema 4D tutorials.
