Specular Specular Properties Specular computes the same simple (Lambertian) lighting as Diffuse, plus a viewer dependent specular highlight. This is called the Blinn-Phong lighting model. It has a specular highlight that is dependent on surface angle, light angle, and viewing angle. Additionally, the alpha channel of the main texture acts as a Specular Map (sometimes called "gloss map"), defining which areas of the object are more reflective than others. Performance Generally, this shader is moderately expensive to render.

Tuto.com A quoi sert After Effects ? Édité par Adobe, After Effects est un logiciel dédié au compositing vidéo et au Motion Design. Il permet donc de créer des animations vidéo et effets spéciaux. Histoire d'After Effects C'est à la fin des années 80 que Dave Herbstman, Dave Simmons et Dan Wilk, fondateurs de la société CoSA (pour Company of Science and Art), débutent le développement de Egg, un soft d'animation pour le cinéma et la télévision. Aujourd'hui After Effects fait parti du Creative Cloud. Description After Effects Grâce à un système de superposition de calques (même principe que Photoshop), After Effects permet de rassembler plusieurs sources, qu'elles soient vidéo ou photo, dans une même composition. A noter qu'After Effects fonctionne sur le principe des fichiers non destructifs. Depuis After Effects CC, intègre des capacités 3D, notamment grâce à CineWare qui fait le pont avec Cinema 4D (la version Lite étant fournie désormais avec After Effects).

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 review | Premiere Pro Until recently Adobe Premiere Pro has failed to make much of an impression on a broadcast market dominated by Avid and Apple. That all changed with the introduction of the Mercury Playback Engine, and Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 takes the app to the next level. This was further refined in CS5.5 to allow users to open projects faster, get real-time feedback for more GPU-accelerated features, and work more smoothly at 4k and higher resolutions. Premiere Pro, on the Mac at least, saw another leap in sales as people switched to Adobe and Avid in droves after Apple 'reengineered' Version X of Final Cut Pro FCP and completely changed the interface. Over 50 enhancements With over 50 enhancements in this release, Adobe has a chance to cut further into the high-end market it's been striving for, but it remains to be seen if Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 will be enough to knock Avid off the broadcast throne. New look for Premiere Pro CS6 Personally we like the 'big media focus' on the user interface.
105 Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Questions Answered - Moviola.com Just a couple of weeks ago I was the host of another webinar presented by Moviola Filmmaking Webinars . This one was an info packed presentation called Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 for Final Cut Pro Editors . It was one of the most featured packed webinars that I’ve done as there was so much material to cover. 1) Will Premiere Pro CS6 output an OMF file for audio mixing? Yes: File > Export > OMF will bring up this export dialog box to choose your preferred settings: 2) How to bring one timeline from one project to another? The simplest method is you have a project open that you want to move a select sequence from  is to just select the sequence and COPY. A more interesting method is to do a File>Import and choose a Premiere Pro project that contains a sequence you want to import. Choose Import Selected Sequences and you can choose exactly what edits to import: That’s one of the joys of Dynamic Linking amongst the Creative Suite applications, great interchange. 21) Can you sync audio?
