I've been using Unreal as a real time game engine for awhile but it took me way too long to switch over to the cinematic rendering side to create VFX flipbooks. These tools make Adobe After Effects look a hundred years old.

Config 2024: In defense of an old pixel (Marcin Wichary, Director of Design, Figma) Config 2024: In defense of an old pixel (Marcin Wichary, Director of Design, Figma) Say hi to Marcin. He’s obsessed with pixel fonts and wants to take you on a journey through all 3,000 that he has found. Yes, he actually promised he will show you ALL of them! “But it’s not just for nostalgia,” he says. “Pixel fonts are a much richer, much more approachable, and an ever-relevant canvas for creativity. I want you to fall in love with pixel fonts the way I keep falling in love with them, over and over again." Featuring: Marcin Wichary, Director of Design, Figma

If you're a typography geek like me check out this fantastic talk about the history and theory of pixel font design from Config last week
