38 Million Lines of Code

Well, we don’t know if they are actually that many lines of code, but there sure are a lot that make up Acrobat, ColdFusion and Photoshop. We now have a casualty count on the recent Adobe security breach and while we don’t know the exact details on the code stuff, we know that 38 million […]

The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

Our very own man from U.N.C.L.E., Todd Kopriva, is in his usual ass-covering mode, making up for the madness that the company he’s employed to is causing in the wake of “we are not ready for Mavericks“ and I once more can’t help but wonder: Why, oh why? Don’t I remember several Adobe product managers […]

I got Mail

In the last few days I had a few of those newsletter e-mails in my inbox which I usually just zap without actualyl reading, but for fun’s sake let’s go through them. The first item on the list is the latest Red Giant movie. I was slightly optimistic when they released Spy vs. Guy a […]

Tidal Smash

Continuing yesterday’s oceanic-themed topic, the plot thickens – or the fog clears, depending on how you see it. The more you look around, the clearer a pattern seems to form. Here’s a brief summary of what I’ve observed and what info is available regarding Adobe apps on OS X 10.9 For After Effects, Todd Kopriva […]

Hit by a Maverick!

Somewhat incidentally in line with the the recently jet-themed model pack by Video CoPilot I was just reminded of the AGM-65 Maverick (a either TV or infrared guided air to ground missile used by the U.S. armed forces) while reading the latest forum posts on compatibility issues with the just released OS X 10.9 Mavericks […]

Nodes! I see Nodes!

Nodes are a matter of much debate no matter what program. Some love them, some hate them, some don’t quite know what to do with them. undeniably, though, nodal systems in 3D programs as well as nodal compositing apps allow you a level of technical complexity that you can nigh on impossible achieve with conventional […]

Cute Whale, faulty Jets

I have a thing with whales, I can admit that and so along with my own ventures it always pleases me to see other artists produce nice renditions of these beasts. On the Luxology forum this render just popped up: It’s anatomically kinda wrong (too short) but it makes him look just that bit of […]

(Crash-) Landed Jets

Not that you need me to tell you this, but as announced, the JetStrike pack is now available. If you plan on being the next Roland Emmerich and need to shoot down alien spaceships with nukes, escape gianormous waves or crash some jets into the White House this might be an affordable way to do […]

Screaming Thunder

Andrew may not always get the technical details right, but he sure doesn’t mess around with the sheer volume of his packages, so on Tuesday when we will finally get to see what jets we actually will get, we’ll also have all the sound effects to make them hum. Will probably still require some audio […]

Adobe Security Bust

Long is it beknownst to humankind that Adobe and security are some kind of eternal paradox, considering how they bring you (their “valued customers”) to the edge with leaky Flash Player updates or Creative Cloud nagging you with constant sign-ins making you think you are sending your credentials to some scamster’s underpowered fake server. Now it seems it really […]
