Unity Cloud Build on the horizon.

From official Unity I received this newsletter: Unity Cloud Build on the horizon.
  Our major announcement at Unite 2014 was something that has the potential to take a massive weight off the shoulders of anyone making games. Automating build generation and putting it in the Cloud can free up a whole ton of resources – making it faster and easier to generate builds and share them with your team. Unity Cloud Build automatically monitors your project's source control repository (with support for Git, Subversion and Perforce) and creates new builds for you – currently on iOS, Android, and the Unity Web Player. Unity Cloud build is currently in closed beta, and we'll be sure to let you know when it's ready. It'll be available on a subscription-based model with a free tier.

Blender 3D - Dynamic Paint Waves

Today a make a video about Dynammic Paint Waves.

I use two planes and one cylinder.

First plane has one texture with some text. The next plane is black.

The cylinder make some waves ( using dynamic paint waves) this will show something from plane with texture. The black plane will be into the front of camera. The render image will be just one part of the texture plane.

After that the plane with texture - text will come into the front of camera with some rotation of the plane.

This will make one slide transition of the entire texture and will show us the text.

See the final video :
