Evening!

Evening! (or morning! or afternoon!) I hope you've had a lovely Saturday.
My day has been spent working out how to draw & animate the Tooters in the new software. It has been quite enjoyable, occasionally frustrating, but mainly sloooooooooow
They will very likely to change as I play around more, but for now, The Tooter Moves. I mean... not a LOT, but the potential is there.

What's the new tool you're playing with?

@shaknais Friction Graphics. I am striving to go open source with my animation.

Kewl. I haven't really touched animation since Flash days. Mostly just some JS stuff that felt gross.
I miss how most of our animation tools used to be vector, but moved towards raster. So this one has snagged my attention.

Your work is one of the highlights in my feed. They are adorable and whimsical. Thanks for the joy you bring

@shaknais Ah, this was a significant factor for me too (I did a thread about it all yesterday if it's of interest https://things.uk/@eclectech/116024929074907629).
The vector tweening is properly nice, and that seems really rare these days.

@Whimsy Aww, thanks, you are too kind

@eclectech Thanks for you and your tech pal doing all the research. I too miss Flash and Fireworks for making quick animations. I used it with 18+ vis comm students just to let them have fun animating. And it worked, the gifted figured out and deployed the more advanced tools and the not really interested still had fun and results. Looking forward to trying the new open source software. Bookmarked it. Cheers.

@stooryduster Cool! I am going to write up a couple of top tips for people coming from Flash, as I would have come unstuck quite quickly without someone to explain a couple of things to me, but it seems to have sunk in to my old brain fairly well after the initial confusion.

It looks really good! New tools are always a time-sink, but you seem to be doing just fine.

@eclectech this reminds me of some of the beautiful art games on Gog Galaxy Botanicula and Morphopolis in particular
