My first post over at Pixelfondue is online. Pixelfondue aims to be your resource for anything related to creating art with the help of modo, Nuke, Adobe apps and the likes and I’m am honored to have been asked to contribute. The roster of writers is excellent and you really should check it out.
More articles from me to come. I’m open to topic requests.

Too many secrets
This is very cool. Insanely geeky, but very cool.
Brian Barto should be nominated for some sort of award. He’s recreated the “hacking” effect from one of my favorite movies of all times, 1992’s Sneakers1 as a command line program.

Pro Tip: If all your requests for app A are “add/change feature & make it work like in app B”, maybe you should be using app B instead.
FMX 2016
Next week is this year’s FMX in Stuttgart. I’ll be there as every year reporting for Professional Production Magazine, but I’ll also write daily session summaries for this blog. So if you can’t make it and want to read about any specific presentation let me know and I’ll try to watch and write about it for you.
Don’t believe everything you think.

Gianluca Gimini renders people's drawing of bicycles
back in 2009 I began pestering friends and random strangers. I would walk up to them with a pen and a sheet of paper asking that they immediately draw me a men’s bicycle, by heart.

Some did get close, some actually nailed it perfectly, but most ended up drawing something that was pretty far off from a regular men’s bicycle.
