It has been a WEEK. In this episode, we're unpacking Runway's AI video controversy, exploring SIGGRAPH's mind-blowing 3D tech, and revealing a game-changing roto tool from Meta.

Plus, discover new resources for textures and fonts, get the scoop on School of Motion’s scholarship program, and take a sneak peek at School of Motion's first animated short film along with a chance to win more than $4,500 in tools!
