"But Can She Cook?"

So animation is pretty cool. 'Cept there's just one little problem, animating humans, especially their faces, is extremely time consuming and tricky. It can take days or even weeks to animate simple facial movements, and not have them come out looking stiffer than a board. ImageMetrics is hoping to fix that with their new technology, called LifeLike animation (which coincidentally is one of the most creative names I've heard of). Check out the video after the break. It's not perfect, but it's pretty close.

Photoshop For Free!

We all love Adobe's little cash printing program, Photoshop. It allows us to such marvelous things like crop out that creepy uncle in an otherwise perfect family photo, to draw a mustache on your boss, or to add a caption to a seemingly normal picture of your cat and create an internet phenomenon. But let's say you don't have any money to get Photoshop, and that new cult you just joined forbids you from using Paint*? Well don't freat, because Adobe has a soulution. They have put a stripped down version of Photoshop online for all to use. Simply make up some false information about yourself, and you're off to the next graphical masterpeice!
