To The Aotg.com Community,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce we will no longer be updating Aotg.com. Back in 2007, when we started, there was a lack of access to information about film, television, and commercial editing. We wanted to fix that by creating a central location for content about editing to be stored.

Since then, we've watched the amount of content about editing on the internet grow exponentially. We've also watched social media tools come and go with that growth. Does anyone remember Google Wave!? These social media tools changed how people access and search for media and information. People tend to turn to Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and Instagram for their news and information, and those are all great tools to promote your sites, but as a site that aggregates links to other sites for users, it just doesn't work for us.

We will keep the site live but archive the ability to add links and comments. We will keep our database live with the links for those who desire to use it to search for editing information and research.

Our podcast, The Cutting Room, will move over to the Filmmakeru.com website and will continue to be a place for interviews with editors and other film professionals.

Everyone who worked for Aotg.com loved what we created and are proud that we could help so many editors find content that spoke to them.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the various post events worldwide in the coming years!

Yours truly,
Gordon Burkell
Aotg.com Founder

A new python plugin from César Vonc will allow you to modify a vertex map based on the movement of that point.

Mirroring a Point Across a Plane Using Nodes

Using Maya Nodes and a bit of maths, Armin Halac offers a look at creating a mirroring across a plane, such as mirroring and object and its behavior across the YZ planes. One of the great things about Autodesk Maya, is that you have the opportunity to build things simple by stringing nodes together – not as affluently as you could in Houdini or Softimage mind you, but still very practical.

Setting Lights for Space Scene - Cinema 4D

This is the third and final part to Shane Benson’s tutorial for building the lighting in Cinema 4d of a space scene. Shane took an interesting approach to this lighting tutorial, breaking it in three parts which covered modeling and surfaces as well, and when you think about that, it makes sense. The model will catch the light in a certain way that will be unique to the scene, and the materials play a huge role in how the lighting for the scene works, especially if you are NOT keeping “physi...
