A sad day

Ollie Johnston passed away today. Take a moment to consider how awesome he was.

Tram sketches... I never do enough.

That is all. :)

Breif respite = studiess

I've been really busy recently so i've had very little chance to do anything artwise. Here's a few quick silhouettes I drew from the brain to get my mind relaxing again.

Happy days are here again

Here's a still from a teeny short i'm working on. No point to it other than blatant "Let's cheer people up with something colourful and cute" sort of thing. I figure there needs to be more of that in the world recently...

Director 11 - Finally announced

The press release is finally here.

As expected, the 3d doesn't look like it's going to get much of a boost, apart from the inclusion of the Ageia™ PhysX™ physics engine and some dx9 compatibility.

Still, since this is the first Adobe release of the product, perhaps we shall see more regular updates in future. We already know a version 12 (and possibly 13) is in the works from last years Chicago conference.

It's not quite dead to me, as i'll reserve judgment for when I see it actually running, but hopefully this release will give Director the boost it needs to become a decent product once again.
