vancouverfilmschoolAdobe has launched a new animations tool that will create animations without flash.
This new tool is called Adobe Edge and it will create animations using no flash; but will make web animations using HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. It is not a replacement for Flash yet. But it is a close competitor of Flash in the same company.
With Edge creating animations, Adobe can regain its position in the market, especially after Apple and Microsoft phones not having Flash compatibility. Edge's public preview can be accessed at Adobe Labs site and it is free of charge. "With Flash, we're focused on the upper echelon of rich interactivity – gaming apps, rich media apps, including video, and data driven apps. But some of the things that were originally done with Flash we now see being done in HTML5 and JavaScript like creating animations" says Paul Gubbay, Adobe's vice president of engineering, design, and web.

vancouverfilmschoolAdobe has launched a public preview of its new HTML5 animations tool named Adobe Edge. While most graphic animation tools allow designers to create animations using Flash, this new animations tool by Adobe will allow animators to create animation movies using HTML5, JavaScript and CSS3. This is the first non-flash animations tool launched publicly, and the company is waiting for feedback from programmers and designers before launching the tool commercially.
Adobe is not promoting its new animations tool as a replacement for its existing graphic animation tools like Flash or Dreamweaver. The company aims to maintain its dominance over the graphic animation market by becoming the leader in both Flash and non-Flash animation tools. Adobe already launched a Flash to HTML converter a little time ago, and that shows its commitment to supporting both the platforms.

superstrikertwoThe 3D animations in the new movie Cars 2 are sure to impress kids of all ages. The silly characters from the first Cars movie are back, but this time they're leaving Radiator Springs on a race around the world.
Some big-name start talent adds to this movie, as Owen Wilson voices "Lightning McQueen", and a character known as "Mater" is inspired by Larry the Cable Guy. This odd couple traverse several countries together in their attempt to win a multi-car race. Their primary competition is a high-end Italian car and a British sports car named Fin McMissle. The movie gets off to a fast start but finishes with a disappointingly predictable ending. The animations are without question fantastic and help to make up for the shortcomings in the storyline.
