Not bad, but what's up with the audience? Is there an Adobe cult or something?

Of course there is. Just like there's an Apple Cult, Android Cult, Facebook Cult, Sportsball team cult, blah blah blah. Any group that is large enough to attract that many users/followers/fans will naturally have a subset that is more gungho than the rest.

There’s millions of Adobe product users out there. Almost all the design tool developers have keynote events.

As an aside, I hate that people like yourself describe fans of anything they don’t personally understand as cults. It’s an antagonistic framing of a question designed to remove any good faith discussion.

Regardless of whether these are adobe employees or not, I’d argue that a feature like this warrants such a response.

It makes me miss Apple’s old keynote style that they’ve abandoned in favor of the bland, sanitized, over-polished and pre-recorded video keynotes.

I’m honestly over so much of the corporate cynicism and Blind-indification that’s turned what was once a necessary precautionary stance to this demonization or ridicule of people who happen to love their work and where they do it.

Come on.. it is literally dream come true for an artist whose nightmare is indecisive, confused clients.

You have to read some of the YouTube comments to understand that some of those hoots and claps could be for real.

The video is much better than the linked page. The video shows the dynamic multi-angle character rotation and other object rotations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=63

I'm not sure about this particular event, but companies often have employees who worked on the products in the crowd during launches to provide even more crowd noise.

This is Adobe Max, which is a huge event held by Adobe for creators.

This session is "Sneaks" which is held every year, and has a fun, casual atmosphere. i.e. it has a theme, has a celebrity co-host, lots of jokes, food and drink served, etc...

Its basically a bunch of people who are creative, and are having fun nerding out on the tech...

Its a lot of fun.

(I work for Adobe)

The audience is creative community members who use Adobe tools and are attending max (around 11,000 for this event).

That event has the enthusiasm of old Apple demos

Not bad, but what's up with the audience? Is there an Adobe cult or something?

There are conferences for Adobe customers to teach them how to use Adobe tools. I think there was recently an Adobe Max conference in Los Angeles. It could have been filed there.

Also the "fun" stage setting. I once quit a big-ish tech company when they started pulling stuff like that.

I think cult is really fitting for a massive group of customers who are locked in by a monopolist. Maybe eve; worse than a cult, because there's just the one,

Finally more AI tools for vectors!

With bitmaps you get a blob of pixels but vectors you can be edited and refined much easier.

It's an immense feature. Illustrators love it. Of course they're enthusiastic about it. Man, there's nothing like this. You draw 2D vector art and then rotate it in 3D space. What the heck, that's freaking crazy. I'd be hooting and hollering. How can you not be losing your mind over this. It would accelerate so many processes.

My wife's an artist and says they had a shitty version of this but this is crazy.

Not everyone likes watching videos.

This will work well about one out of every hundred times you try it. Enough to find good demo examples though.

Weird that YouTube's default error page (xnx's post) is a 1 minute video titled "YouTube is not currently available on this device.".

And a video from 7 years ago on their channel. So confusing

Now someone do this with a human object, and wait for the media to have a collective freakout

They're attending and celebrating the demise of their own professions?

Their profession will be fine. They will continue to better understand colours, composition and design principles better than me.

We will both have AI to our disposal, and they will make better designs quicker than me.

Get an AI to generate 100 examples then

I'm a bit disappointed they didn't an artist drawing something live and then rotating that.

Perhaps the OP meant to time stamp it, but the url was incomplete. The time stamp at 63 secs..

Yes. Forsyth's book titled Group Dynamics is a great one if one wants to know more about this kind of thing.
