Creative cow has the press release, but you can check out the new xMac at Sonnet's site. Using thunderbolt to expand a Mac Mini is a brilliant idea now that not only is there not an X-server anymore, but the MacPro has not been upgraded in ages, and though we have Tim Cooke's promise of a new MacPro, this may be the best Mac Server solution going right now, as you can expand it with many PCI cards, and make a real server, with an inexpensive Mac Mini.
CGMeetup has posted a video and on the VFXLAB Showreel for 2013. this reel is made by the instructors of VFXLAB that they have worked on part of movies and some of CG shots from VFXLAB on Vimeo. Very cool stuff.
Very cool, how to do a makeshift bullet time with a ceiling fan over at DIY Photography! Only works for very small objects, but a very cool idea.
Alexis Van Hurkman has a article on two questions about video scopes. Worth Checking out.
Just ignore Rain Wilson being a moron, but this is so impressive. Being able to relight and image with another similar photo in photoshop, and even cooler being able to steal a look from an image or movie and process your video with it. They say it is very processor intensive and I believe it, but still very impressive!
So I have been giving a lot of RSS readers a try and love that Fever syncs with the iPhone version of Reeder for the iPad, but I am pretty sure Fever won't be my replacement choice. And it isn't that it is a good solution. It works like advertised, and I like that it is self hosted, but that is also the problem. At least for me.I use BlueHost for my web server and like it very much, but Fever seems to run really really slowly on it! I am talking an hour to update all my feeds, which takes minutes at most for other programs.
Check out free photoshop grid's plug in called GuideGuide. It's free, and great when you need to be precise. Works with CS5 and CS6.
Bart at Creative Impatience has the news that Adobe Anywhere is an Enterprise Only solution! It takes not one, but 4 servers to run! YOUCH!!!! And that works for 6-8 editors! And it requires 25-50 Mbps connection!I was very excited about this, but not anymore. This is way too high end. They need to do at least iChat Theater so you can edit remotely with Premiere Pro like you could with FInal Cut Pro 7!
Richard Harrington over at Creative Cow has posted 2 free Adobe Premiere Pro Plugins.A simple mask with rectangular or elliptical masks.Anda a Vignette plug in.Both are from Creative Impatience. They also have a Feathered Crop and a Power Window plug in available.Free is always good.
Olivia Tech has a video on the MoVi from NAB.Man this is an impressive rig! And it can fit up to an Epic with a prime lens, up to 10 pounds.
