2D, 3D, 4D?
Welcome to another round of “In case you missed it, this is the cool stuff” - InstaMAT added a full 2D Painter for UVs, and, one dimension further, 3ds Max can edit splats) and all your references and assets get sorted - in Maya, with Das Element 2.3, and with Photoshop and Blender working together. And 4D? Well, the best Camera Matcher in Version 6 now talks to Cinema 4D. (You see what I did there? Hilarious, init?)
// New Website Features
And there is something new internally as well: If you are on an article or post on Digital Production.com, you can now just hit Ctrl+P (Or whatever it is in Mac-Land), and you should get a nice, clean print version for archival, sending along, or drawing and making notes. Or Paper Planes; we aren’t judging how you get your colleagues to read something.
None of the menus / sidebars / Footers, but all of the links. None of the “Website Styles”, but all of the readable text. This “Print.CSS” took ages, because it is NOT one of our core strengths. NOT AT ALL. But it seems to be working - give it a try, and tell us how it works for you!
