Four 3D pioneers behind Adobe Substance 3D Designer and the Substance Engine, tools that have been used to create visual effects in hundreds of movies and television shows, have been honored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences with a Scientific and Technical Award.

Is the world ready for a new group of hilarious animated monsters? The team behind the new short-form comedy series Gleeful Beasts hope so. The CG-animated show, which is produced in Unreal Engine, is the brainchild of U.K.-based Sparklegoose (headed by Natt Tapley and Joel Veitch, the writing and performance team behind the recent Netflix series Bad Dinosaurs) and U.S.-based animation house, Sans Strings Studio (led by Ryan Corniel and Sébastien Deguy, Adobe’s head of 3D and Metaverse).

The creators of Substance 3D Designer have won Scientific and Technical Academy Awards.

In livestreamed keynote, Sébastien Deguy discusses new software features that improve workflow and capabilities of 3D and VFX artists.

Yes, a new season of Robot Chicken is on the way for Adult Swim and we are eagerly anticipating the season given that it’s been nearly two years since we’ve seen any new episodes of the stop-motion  animated sketch series and we’re hoping that changes very soon.

Allegorithmic has released a new version of Substance Painter that adds subsurface scattering, allowing artists to create more realistic organic surfaces and other translucent materials, including skin.

Sébastien Deguy, Christophe Soum, Sylvain Paris, and Nicolas Wirrmann received a "Technical Achievement Award" from the Academy.

3D design and animation has never been a bigger or more thriving industry than it is today, and it shows no signs of slowing down. Quite simply, 3D is the future — and as our field continues to grow, so does the community around it
