- How To Build Your Own Animated 3D Cube Using Kinemac - Video and Camera Animation
Read More
Building on our last movie, we'll use Kinemac's 3D Animation Software to build your own version of Fox News' animated cube logo, but this time we'll add video and animated camera effects. Everyone and his cousin is using this effect on the web, so your spinning cube needs to be head and shoulders above all other rotating cubes out there. We'll sping your cube, add a video clip to one of the panels of the cube and create an animated camera as if we're flying around it. Very cool!

Recently I've been getting hounded by a LOT of folks who want to know how they can build an animated rotating cube. Fun, but overused and boring. Regardless, in this post I use Kinemac's 3D Animation Software to show you how to build your own version of Fox News' animated cube logo. Quite simple actually: We'll build a 3d cube and apply some images to the faces of the cube, ridiculously easy. Fast, easy and fun!

- Mura CMS Training
Read More
Cleverly named "getmura.com", I went and got Mura. The Mura CMS training, that is. I recently attended the Mura CMS Training Class hosted by Blueriver in Sacramento, CA. This 5 day training class was not exactly cheap and required travel and lodging. A one day overview of how to use Mura CMS, a two day hands-on front end training class to customize and tweak pages and content, and finally a two day programming class to know how it all works under the covers. All led by the original developers of the CMS. Was it worth it?

- Kinemac 3D Real Time Animation Software
Read More
Using this ridiculously cool Mac-only application (sorry Windows folks!) you can quickly build out some incredible 3d objects, scenes, text and full blown animations. Years ago doing this kind of 3d work took a lot more effort, strained your computer's CPU and took forever. I mean, click the Render button then go to bed and it might have finished by the next morning. That's long since changed and I'll demo a few of the things I like about Kinemac. I've got big plans for this software....
