The first 2014 Creative Cloud Release being rolled out today also includes Perspective Warp feature in Photoshop CC, as well as enhancements to Illustrator CC and InDesign CC, especially in the arena of tighter Typekit integration with Creative Cloud software.
The updated Adobe Photoshop CC brings 3D printing to the design world. Screenshot of video from Adobe TV.
By radically simplifying the 3D print process, Adobe hopes that Photoshop CC will become the go-to tool for anyone who wants to print a 3D model.
“The new 3D print capabilities in Photoshop CC take the guess work out of printing 3D models for everyone,” said Winston Hendrickson, vice president products, Creative Media Solutions, Adobe. “Before today there was a gap between the content produced by 3D modeling tools and what 3D printers need in order to deliver high quality results. Now, by simply clicking ‘Print’ in Photoshop CC, creatives can bring 3D designs to the physical world.”
Available immediately, as part of a major update to Adobe Creative Cloud, the new 3D printing capabilities integrated in Photoshop CC enable Creative Cloud members to easily and reliably build, refine, preview, prepare and print 3D designs, setting the stage for explosive growth in the 3D printing market.
The new 3D printing capabilities also help creatives to design in 3D from scratch or refine an existing 3D model and produce beautiful, print-ready 3D models using familiar Photoshop tools.
Automated mesh repair and support structure generation ensure models will be produced reliably, while accurate previews allow creatives to submit print jobs with confidence.

… a part in what?!
“Because you played a part” … in 30 years of Total Defence!
That’s the theme for the eighth installment of the series of annual “N.E.mation!” competition that has seen more than 9,500 students participating since its inauguration in 2007.
I visited the Top 10 teams for this year’s N.E.mation!8 and came away with a sense of awe at how articulate and convicted these youths were in our Nation’s Total Defence message.
The top 10 teams are hard at work at Nanyang Polytechnic producing their 1-minute animation that will vie for the top spot – which will earn the winning team a fully sponsored trip (worth more than S$15,000) to the US.
N.E.mation!8 main theme: “30 Years of Total Defence: Because You Played A Part”
“30 years of security and stability as a nation was built upon everyone’s efforts.
We stood with each other through the good times and bad, overcoming challenges and celebrating our successes.
We are able to enjoy what we have in Singapore today because each of us has played a part, in building this nation, our home.”
The top 10 teams are now in the final week of the 3-week production period when they work from 9am to 9pm daily to churn out the main animation for their submission.
After the 3-week period, they go off to enjoy the rest of their school holidays while their animation mentors and instructors put in the finishing touches and add in the music in post production.
The winning entry will be determined in February 2014 by a panel of judges (comprising NEXUS and animation industry experts) as well as voting by the public, which will account for 50 percent of the points.
The Partta Kappa Team (from SotA) uses an innovative combination of shadow-silhouette and real people for their animation “It Takes More …”

Photo of the Day: You know those burner barrels that taoists and the Chinese use in housing estates to burn incense papers when they pray?
How do these barrels mysteriously appear at the beginning of the hungry ghost festival (or other major pray dates) and then disappear at the end?
Mystery solved! I was having dinner in the evening when I spotted these two workers rounding up these burner barrels. I had the D5200 with me so I snatched a quick snapshot as they went by into the dusk. Photo taken with a Nikon D5200 with NIKKOR 18-55mm kit lens. Photo credit: John Tan.
These burning barrels were refurbished from oil barrels and are offered to offer a less messy alternative to burning incense paper in the open – where the ashes fly and spread everywhere when the wind blows.

The next generation of “CC” desktop applications include Adobe Photoshop CC, and delivers new community and publishing capabilities. Current Creative Cloud members get the update free.
The major update is free for existing Creative Cloud subscribers.
Adobe Creative Cloud for Individuals was launched in Singapore last month and for teams in Jaunary.
“… in addition to the traditional areas of innovation these apps are now connected to the powerful publishing and community features integral to the Creative Cloud experience,” said David Wadhwani, senior vice president and general manager, Digital Media, Adobe.
This latest Creative Cloud release includes new features in the set of “CC” desktop applications and sophisticated cross-device collaboration and publishing capabilities.
Creative files can be stored and shared, via Creative Cloud, on Mac OS, Windows, iOS and Android.
Behance, a leading online creative community, is now integrated with Creative Cloud, so customers can showcase work, get feedback on projects and gain global exposure.

Adobe will be releasing significant updates to software within Creative Cloud on 17 June in the US (18 June in Singapore). These include Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamweaver and Premiere Pro.
Adobe has announced, during its MAX conference, significant feature updates to the software within Creative Cloud. These updates will be available on 17 June in the US (18 June in Singapore).
The component software in Creative Cloud has also been rebranded with “CC” suffix to reflect that they are an integral part of Creative Cloud and have been reinvented to support a more intuitive, connected way of creating.
Behance
Over 1.4 million creatives globally are part of the Behance network.
Adobe had acquired Behance in December 2012.
Adobe Creative Cloud subscribers now enjoy Behance ProSite at no extra cost as part of their subscription.
For instance, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere Pro will now be rebranded a Adobe Photoshop CC and Adobe Premiere Pro CC respectively.
There will be no new versions of the Adobe Creative Suite.
In the meantime, Adobe has also integrated Behance into Creative Cloud so that users can upload their work directly from the component software of Creative Cloud onto Behance.
Behance is a social portfolio network that enables users to publish their own portfolios, follow other creatives, publish work-in-progress from within a growing number of CC apps and solicit feedback from the worldwide creative community.
Below are some of the new features that will debut as part of the mid-June Creative Cloud update (extracted from Adobe’s press release).
Photoshop CC will ship with new sharpening technologies and designer workflow enhancements.

Creative Suite – Adobe’s flagship software package comprising “perpetual” boxed versions of design and production software such as Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Dreamweaver and InDesign – has been discontinued.
Subscription-based Creative Cloud is now the new flagship at Adobe.
Adobe CC (Creative Cloud) is the new acronym, while Adobe CS (Creative Suite) reaches the end of the line. Click to check subscription price plans.
Adobe made the announcement during its annual Adobe Max Conference in Los Angeles today.
You can still buy the current Adobe CS6 from Adobe, but the software will not get any future feature updates.
You will still get security patches and bug fixes, and Adobe has committed that CS6 will be compatible with the next major version of Windows and OS X.
Existing CS owners (especially CS6) will get aggressive discounts to entice them to move to CC.
Adobe had packaged its stable of creative and design software – together with software it had gained through its acquisition of Macromedia – as Adobe Creative Suite (CS) back in 2003.
Adobe CS is termed “perpetual” since you pay once and own it forever.
You can use it for as long as you like – barring compatibility issues, security patches and termination of bug fixes over time.
Pay S$26 per month for a single app or S$66 per month for the entire suite.
A decade on, the component software will no longer be available as part of the Creative Suite packaging.
Why Adobe recommends CC for you.
Customers will have to rent them by subscribing to Adobe Creative Cloud (CC) instead.
