In nuce: With festive greetings on the tongue, eggnog in the bloodstream and anticipation of the dawning New Year, we wish our readers – and the entire readership in general – a relaxed x-Mas, the obligatory Happy New Year and outrageously unseemly New Year’s resolutions! We also wish you an animated festive binge (because there’s a lot going on physically and mentally, not the VFX pipeline humming) – with, without or with a medium number of revolutions (but definitely including pumpernickel gingerbread with urdink extract, wink wink)!
In toto (& ho ho ho!): We’ll see you again on 9 January of the new year at the very latest. Same place, same wave. Feel really nicely rendered by us. And for those of you who, despite all the public holiday hoopla, are longing for: Expert talks (on The Witcher, Black Adam, SpongeBob), software reviews (on Cartoon Animator 5, Topaz Video AI 3.0, Xpresso in Cinema 4D), hardware tests (with the USB microphone Razer Seiren Pro V2 or the 3D input device from 3D Connexion) – or a Star Trek focus in a class of its own with three multi-page stories (on Star Trek Discovery, Strange New Worlds and with an XXL retrospective by starship Enterprise expert Christoph Zapletal) – you can browse Digital Production 01 : 2023 under the Christmas tree. Also available as an e-paper!
Celebrated further: Peace to all workstations, may the Flying Spaghetti Monster be kind to us all and, as the Trekkie would say: “Bones, buckle up (and let’s down some egg nog)!”
