Adobe Dayz

This week some Adobe software guys came Bristol and did a demo of there latest software, including Photoshop and Illistrator. It was pretty cool seeing the new features of CS3, and how each of the programs can be used independantly or in conjunction on design, video and animation projects.

Anyway the coolest part was when they talked about the Vanishing Point filter, and showed an example of how you can turn a 2D picture of a building into a 3D animation. They also talked about how Martin Scorsese was so impressed with it that he used the vanishing point filter in "The departed" to trace the inside of a set and add movement to an otherwise static camera shot, pretty cool stuff.

Any way here's a link to their blogs, which they update often and has some pretty cool stuff on it. http://blogs.adobe.com/ See ya in class,

That is really cool. I will want to look at the blog in the future. It sounds interesting.

Even though The Departed was way, way overrated :::ahem::: it's still cool that good ol' Martin used Vanishing Point!
