Working with Multiple Resolutions in Animate CC

I wrote a new post for Adobe’s official Animate CC blog recently. It covers a few new features that can be found in Animate surrounding screen resolution, high-definition video export, and how to rotate the stage to make like easier when drawing. Export your animations to multiple screen resolutions. While most stuff I write is […]

Creating WebGL Content with Animate CC

There seems to be quite a lot of excitement surrounding the rebranding of Flash Professional CC to Adobe Animate CC. It’s also extremely pleasing to see Adobe actively promote Animate CC and also to see so much positivity from the animation and design community in general. One thing that’s been lost somewhat in the noise […]

Flash is now Adobe Animate CC

Flash Professional is now Adobe Animate CC. The rebranding seems to have been met very positively by the community and it’s also extremely pleasing to see that Adobe are putting their full weight behind Animate CC. The first release of Animate CC also sees a raft of brand new features, many of which are described […]

Corgi Warlock Released!

If you’ve been following my blog recently you may have seen my WebGL experiments that featured some cute game characters that had been created by my buddy Alex. Well those characters were from a game he was working on called Corgi Warlock, and the good news is that it’s now available to purchase on Steam! […]

Flash Professional Is Being Renamed

So the big news today is that Adobe are renaming Flash Professional. From early next year it’ll be known as Adobe Animate CC. This will more accurately reflect Flash’s position as an animation tool for the web and beyond. It’s also obviously an attempt to get around the negativity that is constantly attached to any […]

WebGL Experiment #5

I thought I’d finish up my recent round of WebGL experiments with the cast of goodies from Corgi Warlock. Don’t they look great! Oh and a huge congratulations to my buddy Alex for getting his Corgi Warlock game green-lit on Steam. Alex has been feverishly working away on it over the last year or so. […]

WebGL Experiment #4

Today’s WebGL experiment is actually a character from WeeWorld. Say hello to Jeff the Unicorn everyone. Jeff hates being a unicorn by the way. Whatever you do, don’t call him cute. For this experiment I chained together a series of separate Jeff animations. One of him puking, another of him farting, and finally one of […]

WebGL Experiment #3

This time we’ve got a fishy foot soldier. I thought I’d drop in one of Alex’s death animations along with a walk cycle. It works quite well don’t you think. I’ve just realised that Alex’s original animations are all set to run at 8 frames-per-second whereas I seem to have accidentally cranked everything up to […]

WebGL Experiment #2

Another one of Alex’s characters from Corgi Warlock. I absolutely love the baddie’s flaming sword!

WebGL Experiment #1

I had some fun last week mucking around with Flash Professional’s WebGL publish features. My buddy Alex very kindly sent over some character animations from his Corgi Warlock game so I set about converting them for WebGL. All of Alex’s original artwork and animation was actually produced using Flash so getting them working with Flash’s […]
