FREE After Effects VFX Plugin + Cinema 4D Asset Empire + Premiere Pro Goes Mobile | Motion Mondays

Kitbash 3D goes Gorilla, Photoshop goes bananas, Premiere Pro goes mobile, and a free After Effects plugin goes into your toolkit!

This week, we're diving into the massive merger between Greyscalegorilla and KitBash3D, Premiere Pro for iPhone, and some fantastic free tools from aescripts + aeplugins including the return of UNmult.

We’ll also check out Cartwheel's improved foot contact for motion capture, learn about why BMW just invested in Rive (spoiler: interactive animation is about to explode), and see how Adobe's also going all-in on AI with third-party models now available in Firefly, including the powerful nano banana integration that's about to change how you approach image editing.

As always we're showcasing some absolutely stunning work, this time from studios like Proper, Oh Studio, and Sekani Solomon that'll give you serious inspiration envy. And of course, don't miss our student spotlight featuring Mark Barnard's journey into interaction design, and Maxon's fresh rebrand alongside their fall release updates.

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.
