Alright, the Toon Boom Animate Pro Contest is hours away from closing the books on new entries. August 2 is the end-date, but anything up till midnight on the 2nd in whatever timezone you are in is fine. So that might give some of you a little extra time.
Here’s a fun one from Squishy…
And why is this movie not out on Blu ray yet?
Alright, I think we can post this. Its only a tad cheeky.
Notice too that Vimeo supports this odd size too.
Just found this stumbling around on Vimeo. Pretty cool right…
Now if only it wasn’t so speedy. Maybe I’ll contact this guy and see if he can slow it down next time for something for us.
Hey gang, just got a newsletter from my friends at Toon Boom and they’ve got some hefty deals from the 28th to 30th. So the deals haven’t actually started yet, but here’s what you can expect price-wise below…
Hey gang, most of you on the subscriber list got this news already yesterday, but I wouldn’t be doing my job right (or at all) as lead and only marketeer at CartoonSmart without mentioning this here on the blog. But here goes…
WE GOT A NEW TUTORIAL and TEMPLATE FOR SALE!
First up a fantastic Walk and Run Cycle Tutorial for Toon Boom Animate, which includes 3 different cycle tutorials and each has start and finished files with some excellent character artwork that you are welcome to modify and use in your own projects. This lesson is taught by the great Justin Cook (SeenCreative.co.uk), and when I’m not cracking the whip to get him to make new stuff for you guys, is available for hire as animator or illustrator (I’m kidding about the whip-cracking, I use a mace)
And master template author Tibi (Webdesign-flash.ro) has released another fantastic Deep Linking Template for Flash (#2 now) This one includes a video player, the usual awesome image gallery and much more. All with unique links to each section within the Flash file, which is all the rage now.
And I mentioned this on the newsletter, but if you have something fantastic to teach for Adobe, the web, mobile-related, or just darn good design, feel free to contact me.
Back with more stuff very soon!
Okay readership, you all have to check out these 25 Vintage Ads That Would Be Banned Today. Babies drink soda, doctors smoke, husbands spank their wifes, the N-word gets dropped, and those are arguably the tame ones. For example…
Check this out. Looks like iPhone 4 folks won’t be the only ones calling each other via video calls for long. Also worth noting, the Adobe developer in this video is on a Mac. Just sayin’ is all. Anyway, this video gets nice and technical toward the end. And will make you wonder if “Beta” is pronounced Bay-ta or Bee-ta.
Totally unrelated, just got word that Justin Cook has completed some walk cycles for Toon Boom Animate. Should be ready to check out soon!
Ready to have your mind blown apart? Here goes…
Okay, I’ve got an iPad. Does anyone know where I can get a prism.
I just read about this on Mashable. And I’ll reiterate what the author brings up, this seems rare. I’m not a huge multiplayer gamer, but I know the PS3 and XBox sure don’t support crossover play like this. I can’t fire up Modern Warfare on my PS3 and kill Xboxer’s. But when you think about it, why not? Is the backend data that different. Anyway, here’s a trailer for the game…
Hopefully the game would tell you the platform your enemy is playing on.
Eeek, somehow I just played this and didn’t notice how bad the character design was, but I guess I was too busy playing it. And it is pretty fun. Anyone working on an iPhone knockoff yet?
