MPEG-4 Part 14 or MP4 is a digital multimedia format which acts like a wrapper for video and audio files. One huge benefit of MP4 is that the format allows for using different video codecs, such as h.264, which allow for better compression while still providing high quality video/audio but smaller file sizes. Smaller file…
Four NASA spacecraft have performed a thrilling maneuver to understand the physics of explosive reconnection in Earth’s magnetosphere. More first rate AfterEffects work in play here. Where does NASA get such top notch animation? I wonder.
Our animation team is at it again, producing more amazing content for NASA Science. Observations by NASA’s IRIS spacecraft suggest that “heat bombs” are going off in the sun’s outer atmosphere, helping to explain why the solar corona is so mysteriously hot.
The International Space Station is more than just a bright light in the night sky. It is also an out-of-this-world research laboratory. ISS: www.nasa.gov/station
If you are like me, and want to use volumetric atmosphere in a scene that incorporates the use of scanned imagery from Megascans (using their 2D scanned imagery known as Atlases) to populate the area, you are out of luck using the standard method of applying the images to planes and use the opacity channel…
NASA is helping improve the ability of forecasters to predict hurricane intensity by flying missions into and above the hearts of powerful storms. Some work from our animation team supporting NASA Sciencecasts.
