Maxon made Autograph free for entire studios this week, and there are more plugins dropping than we know what to do with.

Autograph is now free for teams with no seat limits, no output restrictions, and no time limit — that's a full motion graphics and compositing app, commercial use included, for zero dollars. We get into why Maxon is doing this and what it means for the broader shift toward a free professional pipeline.

On the plugin side: Mikey Borup fixed After Effects' broken gradient ramp with Better Ramp, and Lazy Cracker just made Blender destruction actually art-directable. Also, Rive opened its AI Agent to all users, Figma Draw got serious about illustration, and LFO Design dropped a free procedural material toolkit for C4D and Redshift. The aescripts Summer of Sales kicks off this week with 25 percent off. Plus Gaussian splat clouds from Pixel Lab, a student spotlight, work from Escafandra Studio and Flow, and a look at how Black Math is using AI on production work.

New Course: Cavalry Kickstart

We are excited to release Cavalry Kickstart, a 13-hour foundational course taught by Greg Stewart for motion designers ready to think procedurally and build flexible animation systems that would take hours to set up in After Effects. Learn to create mograph-style effects, dynamic text animations, and responsive templates that update in real time.

Please Note: Cavalry Kickstart is included as a part of our All-Access and Team Training programs.

New Course: Cinema 4D Insider

We are also excited to release Cinema 4D Insider, a 4-hour professional-level course taught by EJ Hassenfratz that transforms how you work in Cinema 4D — covering faster workflows, scene organization, Redshift mastery, and team-ready production techniques.

The All-Access discount is SOLD OUT, but you can still get 25% off all individual courses! We’ve been quietly rolling out our new All-Access program, where you can get every course we make for one low price. It’s a crazy good deal even without this sale. But until Wednesday 12/4, you can get it for 25% off. For this sale we are opening up 100 spots. After those sell out, you’ll have to wait at least a few months until we open more. Don’t sleep on this deal. We expect it to sell out fast.
