To The Aotg.com Community,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce we will no longer be updating Aotg.com. Back in 2007, when we started, there was a lack of access to information about film, television, and commercial editing. We wanted to fix that by creating a central location for content about editing to be stored.

Since then, we've watched the amount of content about editing on the internet grow exponentially. We've also watched social media tools come and go with that growth. Does anyone remember Google Wave!? These social media tools changed how people access and search for media and information. People tend to turn to Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and Instagram for their news and information, and those are all great tools to promote your sites, but as a site that aggregates links to other sites for users, it just doesn't work for us.

We will keep the site live but archive the ability to add links and comments. We will keep our database live with the links for those who desire to use it to search for editing information and research.

Our podcast, The Cutting Room, will move over to the Filmmakeru.com website and will continue to be a place for interviews with editors and other film professionals.

Everyone who worked for Aotg.com loved what we created and are proud that we could help so many editors find content that spoke to them.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the various post events worldwide in the coming years!

Yours truly,
Gordon Burkell
Aotg.com Founder

Sounds from India, Los Angeles - and Shiba dogs

This week we have three new libraries on A Sound Effect. Travel to urban Los Angeles to experience the sounds surrounding its familiar landmarks. Or perhaps you’d enjoy the countryside of Southern India with their exotic wildlife and rural living. Or maybe you just want to stay home and hang out with your Shiba dog. Nothing wrong with that.

How to Use Adobe Fuse Characters in Cinema 4D

In this episode of Cine Design Training, we cover how to create 3D character in Adobe Fuse. We then import it to the Mixamo Auto-Rigger which saves you the hassle of adding bones and skinning your characters. We download our FBX file from Mixamo and import it into Cinema 4D. The textures come in a little off, so we fix those. Finally we look at how to pose the character by directly rotating the joints/bones.

How to Texture a SketchUp Model in Cinema 4D

In this episode of Cine Design Training, we cover how to texture a 3D model of a car downloaded from the SketchUp 3D Warehouse. The model comes in out of scale, so we look up the real world car’s height and match the model to that. Next we start to figure out where the texture issues are on the model. We clean up each piece of “problem” geometry and create an appropriate material for it. There are usually a lot of groups in a SketchUp model, but if you spend some time you can organize it a...
