I've now finally finished my blog post for "July 2026 - Month of #TiXL"

Nothing new, just this thread here as a big write-up.

Also, maybe thumbnail preview now works. I think mastodon can't do SVG thumbnails?

Also fixed some html so it doesn't try to automatically download all the videos.

Day 33???

My PR was merged :D

The other one got some feedback I'm working on addressing.

Support filenames with spaces when opening files or folders externally by edave64 · Pull Request #720 · tixl3d/tixl

Wrap the given URI passed to "cmd /c start" in quotes, so it can handle spaces inside filenames. This is especially important with newer tixl versions installing themselves in "C:\Pr...

Day 31 - Foggy

I don't think #tixl has volumetic fog, I tried to emulate it with billboards.

Inspired by some posts by Andy S. on the Discord, just a lot less good :P

Also tried to disguise the loop point better, by layering multiple phase-shifted sinus animations.

Day 29 - Containment

Tried to make something out of glass. Also experimented some more with different postfx effects.

Day 28

No animation today, instead I have opened a PR to fix a minor annoyance in the project. I think that still counts :P

Sort project hub by descending creation date by edave64 · Pull Request #718 · tixl3d/tixl

This addresses #717. There are two commits here: Add a CreatedAt field in EditableSymbolProject and use it to sort the Project Hub. The data for this field is read from the already existing filein...

Day 27 - Scatter

I've finally started publishing the files for the #tixl projects: https://github.com/edave64/2025-07-month-of-tixl

They are available as CC0 (though day 21 obviously doesn't include the music)

Day 2-6 are not in there yet, since I made those on different computers and need to collect the files for those.

Day 26 - Public service announcement

First time working with splines. Tried to make some interesting effects with different kinds of billboarding

#tixl #tooll3 #3d

Day 25 - Quantization

Prompt by @sofia, that I vaguely used to adjust my existing animation :P

#tixl #tooll3 #3d

Day 24 - Multiple Cameras

Still can't do lighting for shit. The first shot looks ok, no idea how to fix the others :/
