Adobe levels up their Photoshop AI tools, ZBrush shows off new retopology tools, and Spline gets a timeline.
This week, Adobe shook things up by adding Nano Banana to Photoshop's generative fill toolkit, giving you way more control over AI-generated content than their own Firefly model ever could. Meanwhile, Spline finally delivered the timeline animation features that transform it from a basic 3D web tool into something that can actually compete with Rive.
We're also diving into Greyscalegorilla’s new GSG Studio 1.5 updates, ZBrush's upcoming new retopology workflows, Nomad Sculpt for desktop, and some incredible work from studios like Null in Paris and OddBeast's Half Rez opening titles.
The Rive Academy Continues!
We are excited to release Rive Academy: Vol. 2, our next-level course for animators, UI artists, and developers who want to learn this powerful tool for interaction design. In volume 2, Joey Korenman will teach you to build and implement a fully interactive website hero section with multiple layers of interactions and is fully responsive.You’ll also learn how to use bones, constraints, nested events, and much more.
