Kinetics

Hi! I host experimental projects for myself and close friends.

I've got some experience with web dev (bootstrap, custom css, vanilla javascript, jquery on the front end, connecting to the back through ajax, php, and mysqli or pdo) and some experience with discord bots (including both webhooks in php and remote mysql in node). I'm not professionally trained or anything, but I've been building small projects for over 7 years.

I'm also an artist who loves to get my hands into nifty programs like Esoteric Software's Spine! With this tool I can generate interactive HTML5 canvas elements. Because of CORS limitations, I'm basically required to host my experiments myself if I want to share them with anyone. That's why I'm here!

Spine provides what I need to create refined 2D animations. It allows me to bend and deform images with mesh skinning/weights, adjust timing with a dopesheet, visualize motion with ghosting, pose characters with inverse kinematics, create pseudo 3D effects, and much more! I now have an efficient workflow both for creating amazing animation and for integrating it into my projects via their available runtimes.
