Pushed AE and 3D to the limits on this one. Comp/animation/layout all in After Effects!

Really looking forward to exploring more now that we have 3D prims and Substance material support 😍 #aftereffects #adobe

[Fara \\ FWA @FaraVR]

Just released a Substance Painter filter that creates half tones! and it's FREE

NOT AI - Spider-Man Iron Suit vs GIANTPENI with help from WHITEFOX

Giant tech robot vs Spideys techies suit! I love getting to do animations like this. I always had a specific idea of how Iron Spider would move and I think we did a lot of cool stuff. Once I knew Whitefox would turn into an Actual giant Fox, I immediately wanted to do a KAIJU fight!

Also this one was a massive dream come true since we got to work with my favourite version of Spider-man! Josh Keaton @spacepadre

@RyanKim_84 So many possibilities 🙌

[Nikie Monteleone @iLoveTexture]

Having a little fun playing with Substance Painter's Ribbon tool, using an exported displacement map from ZBrush in the alpha and tiling it

[Nikie Monteleone @iLoveTexture]

@Ezboy_animation Nice! Love the look. Did you use any of the new 3D prims or is this all 2D?

[Nikie Monteleone @iLoveTexture]

@eyedesyn They might taste a little fishy 😂

[Nikie Monteleone @iLoveTexture]

@MahadiShadan Thanks! You have made my Friday😍

[Reid Southen @Rahll]

Lord and Miller on AI 🔥

"To me, it's antithetical to the thing we're trying to do. To replace that with the average of all these people's creativity in human history ever, uncompensated."

Great clip and great interview, you should watch the whole thing.

[Nikie Monteleone @iLoveTexture]

Messing with Arnold's new aiLine node with the toon shader in Maya, definitely going to dig more into this! One driven by AO, the other by light.

@LeeGriggs for the quick and easy tutorials on this 🙌

[E.J. Hassenfratz @eyedesyn]

And here I've been just throwing in random numbers hoping my videos look OK on Instagram.

[Nikie Monteleone @iLoveTexture]

@136S3D PHEW fantastic news 😅

[Nikie Monteleone @iLoveTexture]

@Ezboy_animation Well thats cool 😍😍

[Eran Stern @sternfx]

In this tutorial I’m sharing 10 hidden AE updates that many users completely miss, even though they can seriously improve your workflow.
Some are tiny.
Some are surprisingly powerful.
All of them are worth knowing.

Learned about this community at GDC last week, looks like a great space for game creatives to build their portfolios by getting paired with a team to build a scene. Collaboration and networking are so important!! https://t.co/lZymR9Oo4A

[Nikie Monteleone @iLoveTexture]

@DukeGunston @GioNakpil Nooo! Always love chatting Ryan please interupt next time 😅

[Nikie Monteleone @iLoveTexture]

GDC was a blast! Back home, still recovering. Most of my time was spent with Portfolio reviews, one of my favorite things to do at GDC 🫶

Game Creatives! Biggest topic, are we still expecting reels? I only saw maybe one or two. Are stills really enough for non-animator gigs??

[Nikie Monteleone @iLoveTexture]

Games are getting so clever these days, keep it coming!! What a neat idea

[Indie Game Joe @IndieGameJoe]

This indie dev is making a game where you can literally play as Ancient Egyptian wall art.

- Switch between a 3D archaeologist and living 2D art
- Survive puzzles that fight back
- Progress by mastering both worlds

It’s called Fresco. This mechanic is genius.

@hiboutoko @136S3D Bummer, must be something new in the exported Smart Mat that older Painter versions can't read. Wish I could help but you might need to wait for the fix.
