Michael Coleman from Adobe released a statement the other day, indicating that they are dropping support for PowerPC Macintosh computers. So if you’re still holding out for a new Intel PowerMac… now is the time to buy.

Maxon has released Cinema 4D R11. Among the many new features is a completely new Global Illumination algorithm, rendering much more realistic GI scenes. Better render speeds, 64bit OS X support and the inclusion of a very interesting matte painting system called Projection Man that looks to ease the process of creating mattes, through tight integration with Adobe Photoshop and Bodypaint. Hit the jump for a full feature list.

Great work, I especially like the superbowl video from last year.

With this post I’m tagging it as “bookmark“. I think I’ve come up with a plan for organizing some of the information on this site. Hopefully you find every post on this site worthy of saving, but I have the “godfathers” section of the site for this very reason. Which are a few of the many post-production houses around the world that mainly create sports related graphics and winning awards for that work. But with the “bookmark” category, I can tag posts that are not content specific but rather location specific. Meaning, bookmark this companies Viemo or Youtube page. If I added every companies various channels or flickr pages to the “Godfathers” section, it would get pretty long. Lastly, I’ve added Fox Sports Graphics to the “Godfathers” section.

Thanks Clay Lipsky for the contribution.
