Animated Gradients

April 29, 2012

I made some updates to the gradient editor - specifically the animation designer. The animation modal now shows a preview in realtime while editing. It's pretty cool (according to a recent survey I conducted). Next step is getting it running in IE and Opera. So far Firefox outrenders Chrome - which is sorta choppy. Surprising honestly.

The picture on the left is certainly accurate :)

I'm also working on a stop animator so that you can take a given color stop or subset of color stops and animate them. Progressbars come to mind, but there would be all kinds of fun ways to play with this.

Site Redesign

April 22, 2012

I have completely redesigned my site and ported it to MVC. I also made small changes to most every piece on the site as part of the redesign. Rewrote my gradient editor for a THIRD time and it is now happy and debugged.

Believe it or not, I rewrote this with the new Visual Studio beta with their lame grayscale icons and everything.

Please feel free to send feedback on what you see. I mean ESPECIALLY if you want to tell me what a crap designer I am and offer to redesign my site for me. Still waiting for that mail :)
