Day 2 (or 1, depending on how you count :P): Just blending two rotating cubes

#tooll3 #3d

Day 3

A pretty classic effect. I don't yet have enough understanding of #tooll3 to make it seamless.

Also had to use black and white, because any other color caused visible shading, and I don't know how to get rid of that ^^'

Also I think I know where the files are stored now, so I think I'll publish them on the weekend

#2d #tixl

Day 4 - The big question

I really love playing with these blend effects.
Math remains my mortal enemy.

I tried to fix yesterdays animation, but I just can't figure out the right settings for the perfect tiling, even though the math should check out.

But this loop at least should be seamless.

Also, today I learned that #Tooll3 actually somewhat half-heartedly renamed itself to #TiXL. But the old website is still up with no mention of that...

Day 5 - Tides

Playing some more with tiling

Unpolished, but I don't have too much time today.

Day 6 - Flow

Most of the work here is done by the fluid feedback operator

Day 7 - Echo

Sadly ran out of time today, I'd like to continue working on this tomorrow.

I wanted to learn how to use the timeline to trigger events.

Instead I got stuck on the fact that the delay of TriggerAnim doesn't seem to work at all and that they don't reset after finishing, getting stuck on the final value. (Which can be useful I guess, but not if I want an animation that can be triggered multiple times)

Day 8 - Echo v2

Still not looking good, but the animation looks a tiny bit more like what I wanted.

The triggerAnim node is really annoying to work with. Since they don't reset themselves once their done, I had to do so manually. But using the pick op combined with triggerAnim can cause some super unintuitive behavior :/

I think I should stick to keyframes for the next one.

Day 9 - Bloom

Used an obj I created in blender and keyframe animation.

I rendered it as a wireframe, because the model looked strange and the petals are clipping into each other :P

I noticed that you can zoom into the DrawMeshUnlit and DrawMashAtPoints operators. Maybe I can combine those manually into DrawMashAtPointsUnlit, so I can keep evading having to deal with lighting :P

#3d #tooll3 #tixl

Day 10 - Sparks

This one is quite nice. I originally tried to make this with keyframes, but the either I don't understand how to manipulate the curves, or the tools for that are just weak in #tixl. So all movement is calculated with janky math. :P

I learned a bit how to use particles here, but I still feel like I'm doing it wrong.

I also actually used a light in this one. I don't get why the point-light gets stronger the further things are, had to work around that.
