Hello, my name is LuĂ­s Carlos Petry. I am 62 years old.
I was born in Brazil, in a southern region, colonized by Germans.
I am a researcher and professor. I work with research that relates mathematical topology, art and psychoanalysis. If you want you can see my channel on YouTube: https://youtu.be/DjtSUIhQ9d4
Where do you call home?
My native language was German and then I learned Portuguese. I read English, French, Spanish, German.
How did I find Hype? Since September of last year I started working with iMac again. I was researching a tool that would behave like Flash and the Director. I also worked a lot with Autgorware. My intention was to be able to export to HTML5. Until then I was using an iSpring plugin for this in connection with PowerPoint.
I found Hype searching the internet and I was impressed with the robustness of the tool. I didn't wait to finish the trial time to register.
I am simply delighted with the work done by Tumult. Hype is an excellent hypermedia authoring tool and I am building classes with it.
I'm a newbie, for sure. An important aspect is the community's collaboration in posting examples that can be transformed by beginners, like me.
I need to study more Java Script and I am looking for a resource for newbies.
I have training in high school of arts and in 3D, my animations are usually 3D - 3D model since the 80's, with Cinema 4D at Comodore Amiga.
My favorite film is 2001 - I love Hall and David.

Hi Petry welcome on these Hype forums!
C4D-er here too, though I really should make time to switch over to Blender... :crazy_face:

I've seen regular post on the forums, 'how to learn more about JS'. This may help you integrating JS with Hype (the book is now available).

Cheers!

Hi Rick.
Thanks for the welcome. Finding a community that excels in kindness and collaboration is incredible.
I downloaded Blender and am studying it slowly. The evaluation of a former student of mine is that he looks amazing.
Thanks for recommending the book on Java Script. I'm going to throw myself at him right now.
I'm building a class with Hyper and I would like to put an example of it for colleagues, but I haven't found the place yet. I have read the Forum a lot and I will find it.
A big hug.

Hype Newb. Been looking for SVG manipulation software for about 2 decades... and so far, Hype is the closest match to what I'm looking for... so that's exciting.

What I really need to do is find out the level of interactivity I can achieve. Basically dynamic SVG.

I've been a graphics professional on and off for about 35 years... mostly 3D animation, but plenty of raster / vector design as well as CAD and other tools.

Hi, I'm Tom. I got Hype 4 from a software bundle that Parallels (Windows emulation software co) released earlier this year. $40 got me Hype 4 Pro, Toast 18 Titanium and a bunch of others; I got the bundle primarily for Hype, since I already had Toast 18 and the other software didn't appeal. Long story short, I love Hype 4 and can't wait til 5 comes out (at some point) and hope that a much-mentioned bone-based animation feature makes its way into the mix, especially since Adobe Flash is about to vanish from the earth :frowning: .goomba

Hello, great community.

I am Yusuf Altun from Turkey. For now, I am working as an editor (education and children’s books). I have graduated from science education and working on my PhD dissertation related with STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Education.

I haven’t finished any project with hype, yet. But I'm planning to work on some educational content. I think there are lots of great works made with Hype, and Hype has really great potential. Thanks Hype Team for such a software.

My favorite design tool is Affinity Suite (other than Hype). My favorite animated film was Finding Dory.

I feel happy for being a member of this friendly community. I hope I can contribute with something.

Re-introducing myself (again). It's funny how I looked at my last re-introduction and I was looking to learn ruby on rails and grow in the company I was in. I ended up getting laid off but a few years later I ended up landing my first coding job as an entry level programmer. I've been with that company for 2 years now (it's a startup company) and we just landed our first big client.

Now I am on a mission to start my own company and there is a cool feature for the product I am creating that I'm hoping I can utilize Tumult Hype for. It's good to look back and see where you've come from.

I'm now a Full-Stack developer with a great interest in UI/UX as well as software architecture. I still think Hype is a cool and underused tool, but hopefully now is the time for me to make use of it.

I'm a woman from Colorado who is a past user of HyperEdit, and I'm excited to move into using Whisk. I've created a personal web site using HyperEdit, and just finished a rebuild of the web site for the Boulder Concert Band using Whisk. I would consider myself a beginner/intermediate user. Haven't really used Hype but I love Whisk. I'm a collector, author, musician and composer, and also work for a technology company in their customer service and sales departments.

Other tools I use are Serif's Affinity Publisher, Photo, and Designer, as well as Finale (from MakeMusic) for creating musical compositions and arrangements for print.

I have a small production company since 1997, where we provide film services for many brands in several countries.
Always I defined myself as Philanthropist, Entrepreneur, very curious, and Optimistic. Before the covid19 pandemic, I had no residence and stable roots anywhere, due to my work I had been traveling non-stop for the last 12 years. All that changed at the beginning of 2020, the pandemic caught me on vacation in my country of origin, I took refuge in a small town where I have a country house. Since then many things are changed my life, at last sleep on the same bed for more of two weeks, started to eat healthily, I fell in love and the biggest one I become on father two months ago.

Hi guys!

I think the time to express my gratitude to you and the product you have created is now!

I'm Deyan, from Bulgaria, and my field of working is visual arts. 9 years ago I had an idea to make a web series with an adventure theme. I have been fortunate to be surrounded by many like-minded friends and together we have embarked on this adventure. We assigned our roles, we shot many of the scenes, but all this time, I couldn't answer one question: What exactly means web series? I wasn't satisfied with the notion that if we uploaded our videos to YouTube, that made them web series. For me, it's more inherent to people like us who don't have connections in TV and cinemas and so we use internet platforms to show our art. If a TV series is uploaded to the internet, does that make it a web series? If a film, after it has toured the cinemas of the world, is published by an internet platform, would that make it a web film? I was thinking, what if we dressed up our web series in such a way that even if we wanted to, we couldn't show it on TV or cinema? It would then really fit the definition of web. And so I came up with the idea of making it interactive and making each episode a web page where users play out the action. Thus was born our nine-episode interactive web series called Drama in Panama.

But then came the big problem. I don't understand code writing. Yes, I've done a lot of websites, but only the visual side of them. And our idea turned out to be so complicated that no coders in Bulgaria dared to take on the task. Also, our project has no budget. So how do I contact a studio abroad to develope our project?

Then I met you, Tumult Hype. You saved our project! For someone like me who has never written code, it was a real pleasure to work with your product. For me, this is one of the most intuitive and easy to use programs. If only it were the same with Adobe products.. They have to learn from you. I managed to do in a few months what professional programmers were afraid to start. If it wasn't Tumult Hype and your responsiveness here on this forum, we wouldn't have seen our project completed. Thanks to @jonathan, @Daniel, @MaxZieb and everyone else who helped me during this time! At the end of each episode I've written my thanks to you and your product!

For those who are still wondering if Tumult Hype is worth it, I will say that Hype does wonders and don't waste your time with anything else. Buy Hype, start studying it and implement your ideas!

Thank you again and see you soon!
