A New Vimeo for Artists, Meta Backlash & Rive Blows Our Minds AGAIN | Motion Mondays
Rive launches their biggest feature yet, Meta stirs up some controversy, and Vimeo gets some real competition.
This week on Motion Mondays, Frame Rate launches into beta as a potential Vimeo replacement built specifically for creatives. Rive officially drops scripting with an AI coding agent, completely changing what's possible in interactive animation. Meta causes a stir by hiring hundreds of VFX artists to create training data for AI models… and the community has thoughts.
Plus Blender 5.0 officially launches with massive updates, Under Armour builds their own production studio, SwayBox's puppetry technique stumps the Corridor crew, and we showcase some killer work from Buck, Already Been Chewed, and Colosseum.
Don't forget our Black Friday sale ends December 3rd with 25% off All Access, and the 12 Days of MoGraph kicks off next Monday with amazing prizes.
