Cutting out Meta and X. See you in these other spots!

This video combines AI-generated elements (balloon, kite, surfboard, and backgrounds) with my own real-world practical effects and stop motion.
I made this for @Adobe Firefly and I'll share tutorial tomorrow!
Thanks @Adobe for sponsoring my art #AdobePartner #AdobeFirefly

And now the article I wrote on AI tooling is out of date (checks calendar) 4 DAYS after writing it. Definitely need to try this out.

Head of Design @Adobe on Replit Agent:
"Overall I felt like I was giving it direction exactly how I would describe things to a person if I was Slacking them. It really blew my mind how good it was and how truly conversational the experience was even compared to other AI tools"
I've spent the last few weeks using @Replit and @Google Ai Studio and have been completely blown away with the state of AI Coding Tools. From a niche app idea, to TestFlight, to in users hands in just a few days. I wrote about my experience on @Medium - link.medium.com/P2ST8lYKNQb

I rarely come here, but am going to cut down even more. Deleting the app and logging out of all of my devices. Going to try out Bluesky to get away from Zuck and Musk.

If you like time travel sci-fi, watch Things Will be Different immediately. If you like serial killer thrillers with an old school Oliver Stone or Tarantino vibe (but neon) you need to watch Strange Darling. Two movies no one talked about, I watched while sick, and LOVED.
Personal news - today is my first day as SVP of Design at Adobe. I feel honored to lead the ux team at this amazing company and to be the first SVP of Design in Adobe's history. Also a recognition of the amazing Adobe Design team and their work. Feeling humbled and energized!
Does anyone know a spot in Tokyo where expats do American Thanksgiving? Or a Japanese restaurant that does American Thanksgiving for fun? With some friends in Japan looking for a restaurant for the holiday.

Adobe Fresco is now free for everyone! Bold move! Wonder how many are so ingrained with Procreate already at this point, though? BUT this gives people reason to check it out. I know people who prefer Fresco vs Procreate. Anyone here messed with Fresco yet? Vector brushes!
Adobe Fresco is now completely free for all trib.al/TG1ZOxl
To celebrate Adobe Fresco’s 5th anniversary we’re making it free! Never been a better time to add Fresco to your illustration workflow.
And if you’re a designer who loves painting and drawing, the Fresco team is hiring - adobe.design/jobs/job-posts/…

Looking for recommendations in Seoul, Kyoto, and Tokyo for my sabbatical. Never been to Seoul, have only spent a little time in Kyoto, and have spent a lot of time in Tokyo but am looking for more off the beaten path or new recommendations (it's been 5 years).

Adobe.. has released a tool that combines Generative Gaussian Splats with a Diffusion layer and it's not all over the internet? WHAT IS GOING ON :D
I had to test this out ofc! Substance 3D viewer, the new 3d viewer just released by Adobe, not only supports viewing of a large, large list of 3d formats, but it also supports generating of 3d models as Gaussian Splats. Combine that with the built-in 3d to image functionality and you basically have at least a few of the steps I've been doing for the last year or so using multiple tools. Exciting stuff!
The new Photoshop Beta also supports the 3D viewer and you can import 3d files directly in photoshop as smart objects linked to the viewer. The elements you prompt in based on your models, can be easily exported to your clipboard without backgrounds making it very easy to use this in your normal image editing workflows.
I have a suspicion that we'll see much more of this in other Adobe tools and I'm very curious to see this used for things like this in more 3d tools than "just" Adobe Neo (which is fantastic btw).

Super proud of Project Concept - announced today at Adobe Max. Use AI to explore new ideas, create mood-boards, and ideate with others. Bringing creative control and collaboration to Generative tools. In private beta today.
Excited to share a new product (and a new category for Adobe): Mood-boarding and concepting in the age of AI with Project Concept.
Project Concept is an AI-first product for the early stages of every creative journey - designed for an era where we will spend LESS time on the mundane and repetitive parts of production, and MORE time exploring the full surface area of possibility and finding better ideas. It features the very latest capabilities from Adobe’s Firefly Generative AI models to help you rapidly explore potential artistic directions, mix images together, transform regions of an asset, and remix styles, backgrounds, and other ingredient assets.
You can start a project using your own assets or other sources of inspiration. Project Concept then uses AI and collaborative tools to assist with both divergent thinking, illuminating the far-reaching possibilities of any creative project, and convergent thinking to bring ideas together, apply controls, and ultimately select the final direction to go with.
Excited about this one. Project Concept goes into Private Beta today, now back to work… #AdobeMAX

Trying the new #aftereffects Text API and... it opens so much new opportunities, I love it!
Here is an expression that stretches each occurence of the letter typed between the "" symbols in the text layers name :)

I prosecuted sex predators. Trump is one.
I shut down for-profit scam colleges. He ran one.
I held big banks accountable. He's owned by them.
I'm not just prepared to take on Trump, I'm prepared to beat him.
I can’t believe republicans are running a sleepy old guy who mixes up names and stumbles over words for president. I mean he’s the oldest candidate in history! Just seems irresponsible to me.
