Sushi Derby - New Year Greeting 2026 is the year of the horse in Chinese Zodiac. Character animation with scrolling background is not as straight forward as you think! I hope you enjoy the 8bit-ish…

It’s a bit late to share this one but… 2026 is the year of the horse in #Chinese #Zodiac.
#Character #animation with scrolling background is not as straight forward as you think!
I hope you enjoy the 8bit-ish

Oh thank you for using my tools, Jeremy! I’m very new to that platform and I don’t have any invites now.

Okay I managed to get it from great #mographer @alboardman.bsky.social and here’s my account on there. So please follow me on #FrameRate if you’re also on there.

So does anyone give me an #invite for clean & shiny #FrameRate?

I’ve been searching for the #vimeo alternative for years…
I need the same old #animator #community like in 2010’s.

Just letting y'all know I am still available for work - if you got a project you think i can help with, give me a holler ^^ bsky.app/profile/shab...

#Adobe kills #Animate. #Canva acquires #Cavalry. #NativeInstruments bankruptcy. #Anthropic upgrades #computer-use feature…

Can I #survive in this #digital big #waves in 2026?
Anyway, long live #AfterEffects!

The Evolving Paradigm of Motion Design — Brands In Motion Food for Thought

You should check out this great article about #animation / #mograph industry by Emanuele Colombo to get started the discussion about our future if you’re an animator / mographer. Yep, it’s “not just an analysis”!

Thanks for your opinion.
I’m familiar with #bodymovin plugin in #AE and it’s time consuming task but I can manage Lottie properly if I have enough turnaround time.

I feel Rive is better for future but animation features are still too simple for AE #animator like me.

Scripting is live in Rive A professional programming environment inside a professional design tool.

I’ll deep dive into #Rive / #Lottie in 2026.

#RiveScripting is powerful like #Flash & Lottie got #StateMachines finally.
Rive is better for future but Lottie is integrated with #AE.

What do you think about Rive / Lottie, #animator friends?

Thinking about #sharing all my knowledge of #AE #expressions on YouTube or somewhere.
Anyone is interested in it?

Maybe I will share my #scripting skills in the near future…

Hello folks. I’ve still been searching for the safe & nice #platforms to share my works / wip etc.
And I noticed #LinkedIn is a fine & clean place for me these days. I haven’t got an inquiry from the site though, I want to connect with more #animators on there!

I always select b) to achieve the best result with my skills. Occasionally it’s waste of time, though.

Hmm, this #AE #error crashes my #PC several times when I close AE or #purge all cache & memories, I guess.

Is it just me? I updated Nvidia #driver to 576.40.
