Flame/Smoke 2013 Feature Videos
FXGuide has a bunch of Flame/Smoke 2013 Feature Videos. Worth checking out. Still am hoping for a serious price drop to make it so any editor can have access to Smoke.
Something new for Smoke at NAB
So it seems Autodesk has something big and new for Smoke that will be announced at NAB next week. This is utter speculation, but an inexpensive version of Smoke, say $1000 or even $1500 for a crossgrade would be huge, as many editors fresh from losing FCP 7 would give Smoke with it’s amazing compositing tools a try.
I am excited to hear what happens here.
An update at CreativeCOW.net has Walter Biscardi saying that the new smoke is amazing! I can’t wait!
PVC on Smoke
The ProVideo Coalition has an excellent 2 part article on Autodesk Smoke by Brian Mulligan.
Part 1 is here.
Part 2 is here.
Hopefully there will be more. I would love to run and learn smoke, but just don’t have the money.
Students and Smoke
The Pro-Video Coalition is reporting on the exciting news that students can now Smoke for free for 3 years with a Student ID! Wow, that is cheap! Now if only they would lower the normal price so us Professionals could have it in our arsenal!
