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

Stephen Turcotte of MirrorMaze Media shows how you can create a “stress ball” effect in Cinema 4D. In actuality, the effect isn’t just a squishy ball. It is a ball that will essentially squish out other balls from it, and it’s done with a Cloth tag. It almost can be explained as a generative effect, The Post Create Bubbles from a Bubble with the C4D Cloth Tag originally appeared and published on %%BLOGLINK%,by lesterbanks

Freelance Motion Designer, Michael Tierney posts a short video of Cinema 4D running on a mobile device. Actually, it’s not just running, Michael is actually using it to create a short project. In actuality, Micheal is probably using something similar to TeamViewer, which allows you to tunnel into a computer that is running the application.

Those of you C4D people still rendering on the CPU, you might take interest in the upcoming Zync render cloud that is expanding with support for Cinema 4D.

DeltaMush to Skin is a c++ 3ds Max modifier which smooths deformations while preserving details with “converting” to Skin feature – the plugin solves Skin weights matched as close as possible to the DeltaMush result. It enables the user to export such rigg to the game engine like Unity, Unreal etc. The whole process is incredibly fast thanks to multithreaded optimization.

Let’s face it. The graph editor in After Effects is an aging and confusing mess. This is true for both new and experienced users. If only there was a better way to do the things that are done most often in the graph editor.
