“Tools of the Trade” is a series that aims to highlight the tools that DIMA students use to make their projects. Character Animator by Adobe is a software that lets users create unique characters, or puppets, and then use either preset motions or more advanced controls to bring these puppets to life via animation. This software sees the most use in DIMA 100, as that class has projects dedicated specifically to making puppets and animating them. It is also a software that DIMA 100 students may use for their final project in that course. DIMA 200 students may also find themselves using Character Animator in tandem with another software, Procreate, for an animation project in that course. #westconndima

Day 8 of #100DaysOfCode , today at Blockfuse Labs I learned CSS Animations : An animation lets an element gradually change from one style to another. To use CSS animation, you must specify some keyframes for the animation. Keyframes hold what styles the element will have at certain times. I built this using HTML & CSS animation. #cssanimation #css #html #100DaysOfCode

Leveling up my Spine2D skills! ⚙️🚀 Taking a step back to do some foundational practice using the official Spine documentation tutorials. For this warm-up, I tackled this mechanical platform animation. The biggest takeaway from this exercise? Less is more. I specifically focused on avoiding over-keyframing to keep the mechanical movement from feeling stiff. I also heavily leaned into core animation principles like staging and anticipation, giving the platform a deliberate, heavy "hold" before the big, snappy push upward. It’s amazing how finding the exact right amount of frames and nailing the timing can give so much weight and personality to a simple lever. Just a quick warm-up as I get to know the software's intricacies before jumping into our complex character rigs! #Spine2D #Animation #GameDev #2DAnimation #TechArt #GameArt #Rigging

After teaching 2410 students, my biggest mistakes? (At first I thought that animation didn't belong in school) But in reality, animation can get kids excited to learn. Avoid my mistakes and use animation to: 1. Ignite creativity in young minds. 2. Enhance learning through visual storytelling. 3. Foster emotional expression and empathy. The result? Elevated engagement & critical thinking skills. Animation is a powerful and innovative educational tool. What do you do to inspire imagination?
