What Happened?
Major Announcements Leave Heads Spinning
by Stephen Schleicher
I don’t know about you but my head is still spinning after all the excitement of the last couple of weeks. Microsoft, discreet, Media 100, HP, Compaq, big news that can leave one scrambling to check their portfolio, their hardware, and maybe even their own job. A wild ride for sure, are you ready for more?

Who Educates the Educators?
A plea for creativity in the computer lab
by David Nagel
There are few things that affect your life as powerfully as your first child heading off to her first day of kindergarten. It's a time for reflecting upon one's own mortality, of envisioning one's child for the first time as a self-sufficient entity and of pondering the future in a completely new light. In short, it's a life-changing event.

Creating a True 3D Space with After Effects
by Marcio Oliveira
In this tutorial, we will create a spaceship flying through a 3D space. A "low polygon" spaceship. Are you familiar with those real-time 3D games? That's what we're gonna do. You are probably asking yourself, "Why would I do that in After Effects?" Well, now that AE5 has some 3D features, let's use them.

Subject: Pixelated

I am having trouble getting clean gifs form ps6. I am doing a simple text logo and for some reason when I save for web it is becoming very pixelated. Even if I am doing a high res. image 200dpi or higher, the text still looks pixelated. This has just occurred recently. I have never had this problem before. It is also happening to me in Illustrator 9 with the save for web option. HELP ME PLEASE!!

In April, Voodoo announced enhancments to their products, in the way of real time effects and an offline mode, as per the following release. In there it says this will be delivered in the second quarter of 2001. We're heading towards the end of the third quater now, so does anyone know when (or if...) this will be delivered?

Subject: Quicksilver 200mp and Matrox RT Mac Card Problem

I have a problem occurring having installed the Matrox RT MAC card in our new Quicksilver DP 800. I'm using 2.02 for FCP, have updated the firmware of Matrox to 1.1 and have used the latest drivers from Matrox for the software itself. The message I get is that the board is missing or not seated correctly, but I've checked both of these factors - they seem fine (It's definitely not missing!). Any divas out there likely to hazard a guess of the cause or perhaps a solution? All help appreciated.

Subject: Volumetric Lights & Missing Alpha Data

A newbie to LW6.5b, I recently rendered a scene for compositing in AE5. The objects all had proper alpha, including animated transparency, but the volumetric lights didn't seem to contribute any alpha data (blackness). When I render, I'm rendering to either the Animation codec (Millions+) or the Avid 9.04 codec (Millions+). Is there a difference in how the alpha data is rendered (save animation vs. save alpha)? Or is there a switch I haven't flipped yet?
