Sim2

Recently I’ve been working on a new interactive for the History class in which students learn the origin of foods. It’s been mostly trial and error and this interactive has forced Ruben and I to change a lot of the features of Canvasser, especially the particle system (hopefully for the better). If you want to check out what they look like here’s the link:

Particle System for TBH

July 16, 2017 By Nick Lavigne

One of the challenges of redoing TBH was to redo the animations, especially the rain animations. The current way Canvasser worked meant that for each rain drop we would need a separate animation with a separate object, which meant ALOT of objects. Ruben and I (mostly Ruben) came up with the idea of using a particle system with raindrops as the individual particles. We think it looks more natural and is also a lot easier to implement. Here are the before and after videos:

TBH

Recently I’ve been working on redoing some parts of TBH using Canvasser. It’s pretty challenging to replicate the animations exactly how they were in flash. This is what that looks like:
