Google Veo makes a giant leap forward in AI video generation, Adobe raises prices, and Rive and Unreal Engine bring new features!

This week, Google jumps to the head of the video gen line with Veo 3, an advanced mind-blowing AI tool for generating realistic video with synchronized audio.

Also Adobe restructures Creative Cloud subscriptions with a new, pricier Pro tier while Cavalry releases version 2.4 with an absolutely ridiculous number of new features including dependency graphs and mesh mapping tools. At the same time, Epic Games launched the Unreal Engine 5.6 preview featuring expanded animation authoring tools that make animating directly in-engine a viable alternative to traditional software.

We also cover Maxon's plans for a new freemium ZBrush version, showcase incredible work including JJ Abrams' Hot Wheels-style HBO opening credits, Google's under-the-radar Stitch UI tool, and technical deep-dives into Rive's AI integration and Octane subsurface scattering.
