improvements in OpenGL features in After Effects CS6
This one’s for Dave LaRonde. 😉
Here’s a video that I made that runs through the new GPU (OpenGL and CUDA) features in After Effects CS6:
https://bit.ly/IgnhFWIn short, we threw the old OpenGL renderer away and instead are using OpenGL for what it’s actually good for. And we’re now using CUDA for acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer.
I am very happy about this change. Dave should be pleased, because I kept citing his reponses on this forum in my insistence that we needed to just throw the old OpenGL renderer away.

He’s not the only one that’s pleased 🙂
OpenGL as it has been was not useful, and did not play well at all with linear colorspace workflows.
YAY it’s gone. !

I’m also looking forward to the ray tracing render engine – need any beta testers? I could use it okay a shot right now, LOL….
Btw when is the release date?
And a question: regarding the new cloud model for licenses – how does it work for systems that are not on the Internet? Most places I work have strict rules against work machines being on the Internet (LAN/fibre SAN access only.)

We haven’t announced the release date yet. Pre-orders are available, though: https://adobe.ly/CCProd

You do not need to have your computer connected to the Internet.
– If you subscribe using the Creative Cloud Membership option, the computer needs to connect to the Internet once per month to check its license.
– If you instead use the perpetual license option, not Creative Cloud Membership, then the computer never needs to be connected to the Internet; you just have to enter an activation code that you can get using any Internet-connected device (like your smartphone or another computer).
