Update 7: my tracking wheel has been animated for both scrolling upward and downward. It’s a tedious process but I think it looks pretty smooth. I just hope I actually use it in my app
Update 6: working on drawing a tape recorder tracking wheel for my video editing app. Not sure if I want to attempt to make it functional or only aesthetic
Update 3: added a pixel art frame overlay to the video player and mapped the custom playback controls, which has been the trickiest thing to learn and understand
Update 1: files can be dropped into the timeline and then dragged around to modify order. Whew. It’s a lot of learning, but 100 Days of Swift, Apple’s documentation and ChatGPT help a lot. Next thing to tackle is the media player.

It’s been a minute, but I’m learning Swift by making my first MacOS app—a simple photo/video viewer & editor that has room to grow as I learn
Learning some new techniques to make low poly art in Blender. I think my favorite is UV mapping color palettes
Been on a nostalgia kick lately and made a pixel art tube tv in Blender to go along with my VCR media control buttons. Planning to put it all together in a three.js project eventually.
On to making some well-used pixel VCR buttons. Not sure how yet, but eventually this and my VHS tape model will become one project.
Starting to add the little details to my VHS tape made with Blender. I have to learn how to add some rough textures to the cassette. I added a split down the center of the casing to distinguish the top from the bottom but it’s not pictured here.
