The administration plans to mark American’s 250th anniversary with a UFC cage fight on the White House’s south lawn, an idea that seems ripped from the scabrous 2006 satire “Idiocracy.”

Opinion | Trump Posted a Video of Himself Dumping Excrement on Our Cities. It’s a Glimpse of His Deepest Drives.

A perverse delight in degradation has always coursed through MAGA circles.

I hope you or your kids or students can “try your hand” at making an animated 3D movie and let us know how it goes! With our Movie Maker 3D app and today’s iPhones, iPads and Macs, you can make animated movies anywhere and everywhere.

Getting good hand movements and holding other 3D models in a character’s hands has been one of our most requested Movie Maker 3D features. After a few scrapped prototypes, UI testing and dusting off more 3D matrix math, SIMDs and quaternions, we finally got it working pretty well.

Mapping, naming bones and retargeting animation key frames to handle the differences between avatar and anime skeletons was lots of fun. Then there was the other side of the problem to create the Animated Activity templates user experience so it’s easy for anyone to get started without knowing any of that complexity.
