Hello boys and girls. Happy Wednesday. It’s a real pleasure to have found you all. I’m a 37 year old Creative Director from the U.S. but currently living in a village in Tirol, Austria. I’ve been working in interactive since around '96, first as a webmaster (of course) and later as a designer, UX, producer and many other things. Unfortunately I lost a bit of my dev skills along the way. Whippings allowed. I’ve had Hype for a couple of years, but I’ve just started really learning and using it, mainly for HTML5 banner ad creation. I’m super stoked to have a community and I look forward to being an active part and meeting more of you.

Who are you?
Jim Scott - Hello to All… new to Hype (late January 2016).

What is your industry/profession?
Media Synthesis. Began with graphic design using a Mac Plus - circa 1987.

Where do you call home?
Napa Valley, California - just north of San Francisco.

What is your native language?
English.

What have you made with Hype – or what are you planning on using Hype for?
For my first assignment with Hype (or any HTML animation program) it seemed best to start with something simple & straightforward: I’ve been hired to “translate” into HTML5 an award winning Flash-based interactive documentary: “Becoming Human” - created approximately 15 years ago for the Institute of Human Origins - founded by paleoanthropologist Donald Johanson, the discoverer of “Lucy” (Australopithecus afarensis). Over two thousand unique elements (graphics, images, text fields, soundtracks, object movies, etc.) went into the original production, all beautifully done and cutting edge for the technology of the day.

Below is the opening screen for the new HTML5 version of the Documentary…

To view the Flash version of the documentary please see:
http://www.becominghuman.org/node/interactive-documentary

Would you call yourself a beginner, novice, or advanced?
Novice.

What’s your favorite design/animation tool (Other than Hype)?
Apple’s Motion app; power wrapped in an easy to use interface. I believe that Hype, as it evolves, could borrow many of Motion’s productivity conventions re: the timeline.

What’s the first interaction or animation tool you ever used? (Analog OR digital!)
Analog: Puppets + a puppet “theater” opened a whole new world of expression when I was 3.
Digital: HyperCard. Still a touchstone for me of an innovative, elegant program. But HyperTalk itself was the real achievement (thank you Dan).

What is your favorite animated film?
No favorite. The animated sequence (camera+models) of the flight to the space station in “2001: A Space Odyssey” is brilliant - even today.

Who are you?
The name is Dennis van Leeuwen. Born Dutch (Netherlands), but have been living in Germany for over 10 years. Illustrating and making it come to life is what I like. But I don’t spend enough time with it.

Here are some images:
It’s me working on a childs face.

Here is a finished portrait. I think I am influenced of the cartoones I saw in the 80’s.

And an unfinished quickdrawing half colored.

He-Man drawing style. :wink:

What is your industry/profession?
I work in the advertisement industry. Do it for myself. Work for a company called Hirschen Group GmbH in Germany. And together with a partner I am starting up xmuse.it. It’s a Widget-Producing company that sells it digital products via Envato for Adobe’s quickest growing software atm. called Muse. It just released it’s responsive version. I personally think we are still in Beta. But the team and engineers at Adobe thought it’s ready. I have been testing software for a long time. And Adobe products are a known topic of mine. But me (Marketing, UI, Design and Documentation) and Tobias (Programming and Financing) have been in development for almost 1 year now. Our segments is specialized in animation, interactions. Bringing this to Adobe Muse with ease. I looked at all the products made and always found them too complex for non coders to understand. Even Designers think different. I looked at it for 2 years and thought – no, no, no, no. Need to grab me a programmer and steer this.

It also explains my absence here. :slight_smile: Back to my profession: My first job was in 1995 as a Desktop Publisher. Worked with many Adobe, Quark and Macromedia products over the years. Even Coreldraw, Micosoft products. Over the years my trade has evolved in Desktop Publisher – Print & Digital.
That means, I produce the following:

  • All Print products ready for printing, embossing, punch production.
  • Color corrections Print & Digital images
  • Post production on images. (I once had to build Gisele Bündchen from 3 different pictures. I don’t have to rights to show it.)
  • Produce online banners (I hope a lot more with Hype)
  • Produce digital outdoor advertisement (motion graphics, storytelling)
  • Frontend landing pages
  • Social media apps and advertisement
  • EPUB (digital magazines/app)

Where do you call home?
I call home the place inside my head where no one can reach me. Best combined with a headset and trance music on. Look at me back then:

What is your native language?
I don’t believe in one native language. But to answer this question: Dutch.

What have you made with Hype – or what are you planning on using Hype for?
I think about 87 Banners now. I would like to produce more but time is not on my side and I am a visual person. Coding doesn’t give me a clear view of what I need to see. So I tend to get lost often. I need to draw what I want and see its function before I can code it. I think the right term is flowchart. That can get messy sometimes. :sweat_smile:

What is on the horizon?
Info graphics, small animations, even book or workshops are on the roadmap. I like illustrating and making it come to live. I have this small website of a friend of mine. It has a lovely animation at the start. Was made back then in Adobe’s Edge Animate CC.

Would you call yourself a beginner, novice, or advanced?
Always a beginner. After each goal I see the next one.

What’s your favorite design/animation tool (Other than Hype)?
Pencil and paper and my fantasy. That doesn’t always come together with what I can produce inside a software tool.

What’s the first interaction or animation tool you ever used? (Analog OR digital!)
My first OS was MS DOS (age 7) and later QBasic form Microsoft. And I remember after booting I used PCPaint.

What is your favorite animated film?
Pete’s Dragon. Elliot (the Dragon) just has the right language for anything.

Hi all. I am Anders, illustrator/painter/writer and sometimes even bus driver, living in Stockholm. Native language Swedish, plus English, French and German, in that order.
Used Hype for some time, but still learning. My web site is a Hype thing, not responsive but small. (www.epx.se) Now building a Hype only responsive web site for an old 600 mm railroad club, and ran into a problem, see below…
I used (and teached) Flash a lot, but Hype is much better.
I am not a programmer, I recognize and know how to steal and sometimes alter some code, but can’t write JavaScript myself. CSS and HTML is ok. I publish all with Dreamweaver.
I am a dedicated Mac user since 1988 and used/teached/beta tested/reviewed Illustrator, Photoshop, Painter (still have it’s predecessor Sketcher on an os9 Mac…) all from their first versions up to most current. Used Wacom Cintic, today iPadPro and Pencil, nice products!
Will not forgive Adobe for killing Dimensions, the old french vector 3D app Satellite, that ended up as a lame 3D filter in Illustrator, with no 3D object export, no morphing etcetera… But I keep a copy of Dimensions for those interested! And Hyper Card, my first interaction tool. Today I use Hyper Dither for the cool B/W raster image effects, try it, very HyperCardish!
My favorite animated film? That’s easy: Geri’s Game.

My urgent need now: Want to go to a specific time in another scene. How is that done?
Tried to add a second action to a button in scene A:

1.Go to scene B
2.Go to time blabla in main timeline

But no show… Maybe a timing problem?
Really need to do this! Any help much appreciated!

Hi,
this is Peter from Germany …

Bought Hype 3 today on iTunes. Had programmed a website with a little knowledge in html, php & flash before. But Apple started to hate Flash and it had no future.

For the first day, it works very well:

I am composing Jazz/Funk/R&B-Music

I am satisfied with the result … (today) :wink:

Hi everybody…
I’m a graphic designer in Austin, TX, USA. I’ve made my way here while researching many different ways to make an embedded YouTube widget. I have a client who wants his iBook to play parts of his tutorial video. I started out with Adobe Edge Animate, then iAd Producer, only to get nonfunctioning widgets and then find out support for both of those apps are being discontinued. Ugh. I found several people and tutorials online praising Tumult Hype to the skies, so I hit that Free Trial button about 30 minutes ago and here I am! I want to learn to make many different widgets and stuff for iBooks and websites. I’m impressed with the potential here. Looks like it is poised to take over where Adobe left Edge Animate.

Hello Everyone,
My name is Tom Roche, born in Tullamore but now I live here in the south-west of Ireland in a lovely town called Killarney. I am a furniture-maker by trade but in more recent years I run a small Irish Charity which I founded in 1989 called Just Forests www.justforests.org

Through Just Forests I try to raise the awareness of the importance of natural resources to our survival using wood as the "hook" of engagement.

I see technology as a great vehicle for engaging people in my Just Forests work and am now trying to learn HYPE - specifically I want to make our award-winning KNOW-WOOD Board for schools INTERACTIVE. So I have quite a learning curve to negotiate.

In May of this year we will host the Killarney Celebration of Trees weekend which will run from Thursday 19 to Sunday 22 May- its all about raising awareness of the priceless contribution trees makes to society. You can have a look at the dedicated website here www.killarneycelebrationoftrees.com

Anyway back to HYPE! I have been dabbling in HYPE for over a year but still not confidant. Anyone out there that can help a financially struggling Irish charity to make our KNOW-WOOD Board INTERACTIVE? Any suggestions warmly welcome.

Hello.
My name Adam Łukowicz.
I’m from Polish, I live in the city of Wroclaw (European Capital of Culture 2016).
My language is Polish and English. I worked as a typesetter (zecer, Schriftsetzer) in metal.

15 years as a graphic designer in the newspaper, PC and Mac, Photoshop, QuarkXpress, CorelDraw, Illustrator.
10 years I worked in the IT department in a large company.
I work at the company of my beloved - Blue-AB www.blue-ab.pl and his company Studio App www.studioapp.pl - Poland language only.
A friend made me the page blue-ab.pl but wrong. I wanted the animation and started to search.
I became intrigued by HTML5, Adobe Edge tried, but found the Hype!
It’s wonderful!
When searching, I found everything about HTML5 Publishing in Newsstand App Store.
I did “Kiosk Blue-AB” - advertising and explain how you can make the magazine in the Apple Store and Google Play, Polish portrait, landscape English.
I run an application-kiosk “Invest-Park Info” in the App Store. It’s already 9 issue of the large contribution Hype, Polish portrait, landscape English.

I did not write the application, “Aquafadas” helped me :).
Cool French company.

My last work in the Hype - Kartka
That’s what I wanted to Hype? - MorphSVG.

Still a work in IT, I fix PC and Mac in companies, their network, routers and switch.
This is my sideline.

I greet all the geeks Hype!

Sorry for my English.

Hi all, my name is Lucas. I live in Los Angeles and really consider myself a multimedia producer, thought I’m a decent javascript programmer, and my current title is “Front End Engineer”.

I work at a place called TakePart, which is a media company dedicated to telling stories with a social slant. We won the Oscar this year for Best Picture with a film called Spotlight. I had nothing to do with it. :smiley:

My native language is English, and I went to college for English and Creative writing.

Like a lot of people, I started out in the 90’s using HyperCard, and have been chasing that simplicity and power ever since.

My favorite design/animation tool is just HTML/CSS/SVG/JS, Hype is fast becoming indespensible for keyframe generation, but still think it needs some programmer friendly features to DRY it up. :smiley:

I’ve worked in a few different industries, Audio/Video, Gaming, Media and in Startups. I personally like storytelling and anything interactive. I consider myself and advanced media developer and mid level javascript engineer, but a beginner designer/illustrator.

So far in Hype I have built a quiz about how much Palm Oil is in our homes. It’s for a larger campaign we are running about Deforestation which launches on Monday.

Hi guys.

I am Hammer over in Western Australia. I don’t know where I am going with Hype… but there is something about it!!

I have a background in financial markets. Don’t hold that against me. I have always drawn and had a tech focus. I always wanted to get into flash, but didn’t have time. I like technology that empowers me to do more as a one man operation. I am exploring educational interactive applications. I am learning javascript and I am spending time with the Affinity Mac suite as well. I have been doing a lot with integrating apis into my own custom apps.

My wife has an app and I support the website. I am interested in integration of animation into rapid data driven apps that can benefit from better visuals.

I am hoping to offer Hype content to local web designers to amp up some of their projects.

I am a keen kitesurfer

I thank you for your newbie patience in advance :slight_smile:

So I’m happy to find very well alternatives like yours on the App Store and other third party Stores as well.

Would you call yourself a beginner, novice, or advanced?
funny question now… advance in Adobe Products, beginner in Affinity Design, Affinity Photo and now Tumult Hype…

What’s your favorite design/animation tool (Other than Hype)?
it WAS Flash… now I’m hoping Hype

What’s the first interaction or animation tool you ever used? (Analog OR digital!)
this is going to be a very old app… “Color it!” a discontinued app now back in the 90’s
