Christian nerd -- I do a lot of creative things with design, animation and filmmaking. I also have a pretty large Star Wars toy collection.

I started doing #toyphotography last month, and I’m having a blast! Check out more on my new Instagram: ToyLightAndMagic

There’s lots of @Photoshop @RedGiantNews and @AdobeAE going on, with a mix of my Sony a7iii and my 4K Pocket.

How we feeling about it? @MaxonVFX @Maxon_Cinema4D @GSG3D

[David Chapman @DaveChap]

How is compatibility with MacOS Tahoe (26) and C4D, Redshift, Red Giant, etc?

Hey @Walmart is there a policy stopping anyone from returning a book? With receipt, inside the return window?

[David Chapman @DaveChap]

Anyone have a 17 Pro Max? Turn on "Mirror Front Camera" and using the Front Camera, slide to Video and enable Log or HDR. Does it lock up the app? For me, it seems like "Mirror Front Camera" is the bug...
@stalman

[David Chapman @DaveChap]

@michaschmidt The front camera, when log or hdr is enabled in the top UI, the whole app freezes…

[David Chapman @DaveChap]

@MaxonVFX You guys aware that Red Giant is crashing Premiere Pro Beta on launch? Looks like Tao is the issue?

[David Chapman @DaveChap]

Alright @vivemarsvp peeps, who has the Mars Software download?

[David Chapman @DaveChap]

@MaxonRedGiant Just downgraded to After Effects 2025.1 and Form works, no error messages. So it's related to After Effects 2025.2.

[David Chapman @DaveChap]

After Effects 25.2 is having issues with Trapcode Form and the OBJ Plugin, even after a re-install. Anyone else? @MaxonRedGiant

[David Chapman @DaveChap]

@MaxonRedGiant Did another uninstall and re-install, still getting the Form errors. Sent in a support ticket.

[David Chapman @DaveChap]

@stalman It’s easy for Premiere editors. No one else but FCP people know what we’d lose when switching. If only FCP added a few more things to compete….

[David Chapman @DaveChap]

@AdobeCare Have Maxon’s latest Red Giant release. I’ll see what they say, might be an issue with their 2025.4.0 update, or something in AE 25.2 that’s not accounted for in the Form plugin.

[David Chapman @DaveChap]

@MaxonVFX It seems like Redshift RenderView takes a loooooong time to do what was fast before...

[David Chapman @DaveChap]

The comma before viewed immediately seems like a second option in the series before "or shared", but it also could be related to exporting to the user's Photos library... but that isn't viewed immediately though, since the export does have to sync.

[David Chapman @DaveChap]

With #FCP 11, I'm wondering what "viewed immediately" means, and if there is any way (or plan?) to view a stereoscopic viewer if using Mac Virtual Display with the Apple Vision Pro. We're getting close to immersive viewing while editing.

@Alex4D More video formats huh? 🤔

[David Chapman @DaveChap]

Figured it out. Somewhere recently @MaxonVFX changed #C4D to need negative values to draw inwards, where the default is now to expand outwards. Any tips or tutorials that show a positive value now need a negative value to get the same results.

[David Chapman @DaveChap]

Anyone on a Mac using #Cinema4D with simulations using Field Force and a Spherical Field seeing things move away instead of inward? Also sometimes the lines of the spherical field don’t show.

@MaxonVFX @maxonredshift @eyedesyn @ChrisSchmidt3D

[David Chapman @DaveChap]

@MaxonVFX @maxonredshift @eyedesyn @ChrisSchmidt3D Thanks I just submitted a ticket. I know things changed with different releases, which makes a lot of tutorials that people produce obsolete, especially as it relates to simulations recently. Just can’t figure this one out.
