What software do you use to make your animations?

My animations are made by programming. Most of them have been made with Processing (Java version). I’ve also been using openFrameworks which is similar to Processing but in C++. I also make stuff with shaders (GLSL) sometimes.

How to learn to do this?

To learn to draw stuff with code, I suggest watching The Coding Train. There are videos that explain programming from zero, but if you are already at least a little experienced in programming but not creative coding you might be interested in the Coding Challenges for example (that’s how I started!).

To learn to code gifs and loop techniques you can check out my tutorials, and some of my Processing source codes for more interesting examples.

How can I watch the animations with seamlessly smooth loops?

The animations on social media or in the main gallery of this site are often in mp4 format (or other video formats) instead of GIF format. This can occasionally result in unsmooth looping with a slight lag at the end of the video, which might be particularly noticeable for animations with very short loops.

If you encounter this issue, I recommend checking out the GIF format version of the gallery here.

However the video/mp4 versions are lighter files to load, and are generally smooth enough.

Can I/we use your animations, what’s the pricing?

Do you sell NFTs?

No, I don’t.
