My tweenMachine tool has had a long and slightly bumpy history. After turning over development to Alex Widener in early 2018, I had high hopes for its continued development and growth. However, aside from having a GitHub repo created for it, not much else was done. I kept checking back periodically to see if there was any progress, but sadly there wasn’t. Then in mid-2021,Read More »New tweenMachine developer: Wade Schneider
While I’ve been posting my All About That Base adventures here for a while, I’ve always wanted a dedicated site just for that stuff. That time is NOW! AllAboutThatBase.tips is where you can find all of my Airtable stuff from now on. It’s going to take a little time to migrate everything over there, but for starters you can find a field reference table thatRead More »New website for all things Airtable
A new page has been added to the site: HitFilm Project Files. I don’t have a lot of things to put there yet, but as stuff gets released on the Clever Tagline channel, I’ll toss related project files over there. The first entry is a project file for a short test (shown below) that I made in late 2017, playing around with the then-new PuppetRead More »New Page: HitFilm Project Files
Okay, this is just a teeny bit miraculous: it’s only been two weeks since the last Clever Tagline video went up, and there’s another one ready to go! This one started a little over a year ago as a test, which was posted to a “Testing” playlist on the channel, filed loosely in the back of my mind for a future tutorial, and largely forgotten.Read More »New Video: Animate Anything Along a Path in HitFilm
Two new videos in less than a week? It’s a miracle! (Not really: the second one below was mostly done a couple months ago, but I felt guilty for not finishing the LED stuff sooner, so I tackled that starting in mid-April, then finished the Airtable video.) First off, here’s the latest cleverness to hit the tubes: the LONG overdue conclusion to the LED BarRead More »New Clever, New Base, New Plan, New Job
Little did I know when installing this latest theme a few months ago that the developers would effectively drop it for another (better?) one shortly after my switch. So here I am changing yet again. I still like the simple look of this theme (“Flat”), and hope to mimic the same thing with the new one, “Neve.” So if you’re showing up and things lookRead More »Changing looks…again
It’s been a while since I last redesigned this thing, and frankly, I was getting tired of the old design for a variety of reasons, so I went searching for something new. I’m kinda digging the simple, minimalist look of this theme. It fits the content, in a way, seeing that I don’t do a whole lot over here…at least, not at the moment. IRead More »New year, new look
This little project of mine has gone through quite a lot… Originally released as a two-CDROM set in 2004 Moved to an online streaming service in 2013 Gone for a while after the streaming service went belly up Promised to return in late 2016, but clearly without much enthusiasm And now, on the first day of 2019, it’s finally back! For reals, you guys! TheRead More »Animate a Face: Revived!
“How can I customize the button values?” This is, by far, the most common question I’ve received about my little tweenMachine tool. While the default values may work well as you’re getting used to the tool, or perhaps getting used to using breakdown poses for the first time, there might come a time when you’d like to tweak those values. If that time is now, read on.Read More »Tweaking tweenMachine’s Buttons
Now that I’m finally getting back into a regular tweenMachine development schedule, I want to make sure that every tweenMachine user knows what’s happening with my little breakdown baby. So far I’ve been spreading the word via Facebook posts and Twitter updates (which can often go unnoticed), and keeping my fingers crossed that people share news about updates with friends and colleagues. However, pretty much everyoneRead More »Introducing the tweenMachine Breakdown
