Christmas Presents for Your Animator | AWN | Animation World Network | Machinimania | Scoop.it
Finding the perfect gift for the animator in your life.

 

Following on last year’s list of presents for the newbie animator, here’s the 2012 list of time appropriate gifts for the animator in your life.

First find out what gear your animator already has. A few subtle questions should clue you, and then you can pick something from the list below that fills a hole in their kit. And the good news is, most can be bought online - fast, easy, and small carbon footprint!

Is your animator a total newbie, starting out with nothing but dreams? Is he or she an intermediate who would love a challenging little upgrade? Or a fast, low-profile tool for rough sketching ideas?

Edelstein: The Gorgeous Life of Pi Is Transcendent

Edelstein: The Gorgeous Life of Pi Is Transcendent | Machinimania | Scoop.it
You'll walk out of Ang Lee's latest fervently believing in the magic of movies.

 

"For Life of Pi, the overcontrolled director Ang Lee has gone with his strengths and made a movie that’s passionately overcontrolled. It takes place largely on a lifeboat adrift in the South Pacific that carries radically mismatched buddies: a skinny 16-year-old Indian vegetarian with the odd name “Pi” (Suraj Sharma) and a man-eating Bengal tiger with the even odder name “Richard Parker.” The lifeboat isn’t entirely lifelike, mind you. The water’s aquamarine is more like ultra-ultramarine, the sea a mirror in which clouds above seem to mingle with sharks, dorados, luminous jellyfish, even whales below. Later, on an island that’s mysteriously....."

Muvizu news: Gather round! There's a new release available now

Muvizu news: Gather round! There's a new release available now | Machinimania | Scoop.it

It's that time again when we release a brand new update to Muvizu and a bunch of new content. There's quite a bit to talk about so I'll just start with the biggest update and move on down. How does that sound?

First off, we're excited to announce that the Muvizu UI is now in German! Hurrah! That's right, we've added a German translation of the UI to the French, Italian and Portuguese versions already available. We hope that this encourages our German-speaking friends to get animating and joining in on the fun.

We also have some new toys for everyone to play with in the form of content packs. In a bizarre pairing (I'm reliably informed that there is some method to the madness - Ed), the team has madeTrains and Prison content packs and they're rather beautiful. Trains and Prisons. Just in time for Christmas! I'm thinking a Muvizu version of the classic Steve Martin & John Candy film, you know the one...

The rather marvellous Dreeko has also spent some time creating some frankly gorgeous pre-lit sets, gathered together in 1 easily downloadable content pack which is also now available. In simpler terms, Dreeko's taken all the hassle out of getting the lighting just so, in order to make it easier for everyone else to get on with their Muvizu Masterpieces! Or at least, your really funny and often times strange clips.

And finally, we have gone through and fixed many outstanding bugs - things that are far too dull to go through just now but nonetheless are quite important and will make Muvizu that much nicer to use.

So what are you waiting for? Head over to the Download page or just click on all the highlighted bits of text in this article and get updating. We are, as ever, looking forward to seeing what insanity you, our users, will wreak."
