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

Maya LT 2017 UV Editor Updates

March 9, 2017, 05:36 AM

http://www.cgmeetup.net/home/maya-lt-2017-uv-edito...

UV editing is an important part of the 3D workflow. In the past, UV tools were limited and difficult to work with. This has changed dramatically over the past few years, and Update 3 of Maya/Maya LT 2017 continues to make UV creation and editing both easier and faster. Unfold3D was introduced in Maya/LT 2015, bringing a better UV unwrapping algorithm, and many other updates have been made since, such as better layout tools, pinning, more intuitive UV seam creation tools, etc.

Autodesk Takes a Dump - Big Maint. Increases Await

By 2019 the cumulative price of a maintenance plan will reach almost 40% increase – but they are offering an option to switch from maintenance to subscription at up to 60% less. Which seems clear to me that they are trying to price users out of the maintenance plan.

Women Are Taking Back Tech – First Stop: VR

March 8, 2017, 06:34 PM

http://blogs.adobe.com/project1324/2017/03/09/wome...

Women in VR didn’t bother shattering glass ceilings; they built a world with no roofs. Female VR artists are dominating the industry, and making one giant leap for womankind by setting the tone for the field before the technology is even fully developed. It’s no secret that the tech industry is largely male-dominated. We have made progress, but the divide is still there. There are so many career paths laid out for women, but in a world where maps haven’t been drawn, that’s all chang...
