Thanks for the examples! they really fill in the gaps in the api documentation. The tooling around `CodeBlock` looks really nifty! Particularly the way `edit()` works. I'm excited to evaluate this as a candidate for the code segments in my future videos :)
Nice project! Maybe put a link somewhere to the video that broadly present motion canvas because it was a bit hard to find (youtube recommended me this video first)
Thanks to this amazing software you made, the animations in this video were absolutely amazing. Appreciate that you made it open source. 𝚃𝚑𝚊𝚝'𝚜 𝚅𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝙽𝚒𝚌𝚎
This guy just did the impossible - finished a project that started as "existing tools are not good enough, let me make my own". Jokes aside, I can see this becoming very revolutionary for CZcams educators similarly to manim.
@@kongolandwalker Grant Sanderson himself said that he didn't intend on making it for others to use and didn't have newcomers in mind when he developed the tool
@@ty.davis3 it's simply superior, and it seems much more performant than manim as well, at least until the community edition fixes and adds core stuff to the opengl implementation of it. might even be more powerful considering it's using css too, I wonder if you can use webgl with it so you could build shaders?
No library is good enough? Let me just make a new one and release it, open source, with full documentation while I'm development my own game. You're amazing! Big congrats! It must've been so much work. Not only all the coding but also writing the documentation, wanting to have everything stable for release, etc. I will definitely take a look at it this weekend (especially intrigued by the code. Now take a deserved time off and don't burn yourself!
@@aarthificial even so, it already made me feel confident enough to get started! That's saying a lot because I had numerous experience with poorly documented programs before and the confusion quickly made me unmotivated to try out new stuff. Keep up the good work, man! Hope this blows up and we can get a "Firefox situation" going where making it open sourced led it to huge success at the time.
@@aarthificial compared to the python based software from 2blue1brown, this seems so much more intuitive and doable in comparison, even though he was already simplifying it.
This guy really started out with "im just gonna make a game, shouldn't be too big of a project, this is my first one" and has ended up not only making what looks like a very complex, intriguing game, but also publicly releasing some revolutionary tools along with it. truely a legend.
I've been looking forward to this ever since you first talked about it. I was even starting to worry, but it is amazing how fast you got it to this level. Time can just be weird. I've already starting learning/playing with it. Also, I love that you're using Motion Canvas to create the Motion Canvas (videos).
Yess, finally! HUGE props for making a tool of this caliber open source. I'm sure this will aid many programmers in expressing their ideas, myself included!
@@WantOxide It's great to create didatic videos about many topics. They likely refer to programmers because the tool itself relies on programming, making said group more proficient at it.
What a wonderful tool! The only thing that amazed me even more is your dedication to not only finish everything, but also polish and make everything right. I've seen many projects that started great but are now abandoned (mine included). You've really inspired me to continue working on those projects and to stick with it until the end. Thank you for your amazing work!
This is like 3 blue 1 brown animated slides but for TS. I was literally working on something similar last week and then this video pops up and blows me out of the water! Amazing work, love the implementation of signals
Congratulations on the brilliant signal concept. I've been following your work since the start of your channel and I must say, it's very impressive. The effort put into releasing the full software and its comprehensive documentation is truly commendable. The decision to make it open-source is a testament to your commitment to the community and shows your generosity - it's a giga chad move to be honest. Keep up the great work! Cheers!
Every now and then the youtube algorithm recommends a GEM of a channel like yours. As a software engineering student + motion graphics designer this is a combination of worlds I've been longing for.
Man, you're an inspiration to other devs and dev content creators. You've created a variety of interesting and actually useful tools and concepts for game development - that are not just unique to your project but can be applied to other projects your viewers might be working on - and then elegantly communicated how to implement or use them in a series of entertaining videos. I'd resolved to donate to your patreon once Motion Canvas launched to get access, but now you've gone and launched it open source and free to use. I'm speechless. Donating to your patreon now man, you do amazing work Aarth :) Can't wait to see where Motion Canvas and Astortion go from here (but for now take a well deserved break soon :) ).
No words are good enough to congratulate you on this release. Like many other commenters, I have no idea how you even manage to do this while designing, coding and making assets for Astortion. Thank you for blessing the community with this tool, and thank you for the high quality content you make :)
Your work is god-level! super inspirational and every time I watch your videos you remined me why I love programming and inspire me to be as good as you :D Great job 🔥👏
LETS GOOO I've been waiting since the first announcement of the tool on this channel You sir are the greatest thing that happened to gamedev on CZcams so far Time to make some epic videos My whole weekend is now so much better
so uhh... ``` npm WARN read-shrinkwrap This version of npm is compatible with lockfileVersion@1, but package-lock.json was generated for lockfileVersion@2. I'll try to do my best with it! ``` this gonna be alright?
Mad respect for making an open-source tool to do simple motion animations like this. You basically created an Adobe After Effects competitor for motion design at this point.
This looks awesome! I have a bunch of video ideas around more technical topics, and I'll definitely give Motion Canvas a try when I get to these. The types of slick transitions and animations in your videos take ages in classic editing tools, though that is probably also because I don't know what I'm doing in those. Motion Canvas looks much more usable to me.
Love that the syntax with the signals are similar to SolidJS. This is really great stuff. I've been following you for awhile and your work has been amazing. As someone who started out with pixel art when younger, and then picking up game dev in college, you have inspired me on the kind of programming I want to do. So many of your concepts were once things I dreamed of trying to do when I got better at programming. I transitioned to Web Dev to get a stable job but games have always been a passion of mine. Hopefully one day I'll get back to it! Thank you for these videos!
I've been very hesitant to start my educational CZcams channel but seeing this video just gave me the jolt I needed. Thank you for making such a powerful tool
Started watching because of your game development, continued for all the amazing ideas and ways you document your work. Never thought I'd enjoy different types of software being created and documented on YT, but here I am.
Oh wow, there was a public release. For the past three days I've been thinking "hm, I wonder how the motion canvas and that polish guy's game is doing, I haven't seen any videos from his vlog in a while" but every time I'd forget by the time I got to keyboard. Finally remembered to check. Looks like youtube stopped sending me notification emails about new videos. Thank you for a great tool!
Wooooooo hoooooooooooooooo!!!! I just started my CZcams Fulltime journey again. I'm veeeeery excited about this. I'm going to start using it immediately. Great to see that there's docs for this now ... I'm going through all of it today! Thank you for all the effort and your hard work. I personally appreciate it a lot.
Woah! this is amazing!! As an AE user and as as Software Engineer, this is HUGGEE!! Kudos to you! Hope I can comprehend enough so that I can contribute to the project!
This is beyond incredible. Amazing work. I think i'll investigate this and start using it for my own videos. This amazing product needs to be made known to all the community!
This is incredible! I was working on something similar in C# but decided to pause it when your first video of Motion Canvas came out. Can't wait to try it!
I know you are taking tons of messages but I just wanted to add my own as well! I don't have any experience with animations but this tool seems amazing! It's really awesome that you opened-sourced it! Thanks a lot and I wish you to have lots of fun in whatever you're going to do in the future! Videos like this one motivate me to keep progressing!
This looks awesome! Im a junior animator of sorts but had 1 year of computer science university and the code looks simple enough for me to use this awesome tool that is capable of things adobe tools aren’t! Huge congrats
I've looked for tutorials or "real world" examples of generator functions in JavaScript to get a grasp of them or get a feeling of what would be the use of them in everyday programming, but never really felt like I got it. Until working with this library. It made me understand generator functions by actually using them and also see how they can be used to accieve really powerful things. Thanks!
Amazing. When I see projects like this I question my own intelligence and how I spend my time. This is sooooo inspiring (and intimidating). This is impressive work, dude.
I knoooww I'm watching something important but my lack of knowledge in code makes it really hard for me to appreciate it, I'm very visual and this, actually lets me understand code much, much faster. Thank you, This is a great contribution.
Wow, I tried playing with it for a whole day and I'm not disappointed at all. Also, congrats for 100K subs. I'm very new here, knowing you from friend's recommendation of Motion Canvas. Excited to see what you will come up with in the future!
One of the best things about motion canvas to me, is that it should be possible to integrate with other typescript projects to easily create engaging tutorials. These should even be able to update automatically I'm thinking!
I'm unbelievably amazed! This is the best thing I have ever seen in my life! Thank you so much for such an incredibly powerful and fantastic tool! All my life I wanted to create video tutorials, but I was stopped by the lack of time due to the large labor costs, with this framework I can implement everything much faster and easier!
We look forward to where this goes in the long run, we like the idea of a video editor that gives you full control of what it does rather than being something rigid and limiting.

That explanation of how generator functions work in the animation flow docs was the most cohesive description I've heard so far.
The idea of using generators to represent animations felt genius from moment I heard it. Love to see this thing fully fleshed out.

I’m puzzled how I stumbled here and immediately became a fan.
I'm honestly blowned away... I neeeed that!
This is seriously amazing! I struggle to believe you did this on _the side_ while working on your game
Cutting edge stuff as always!
oh my god, this is amazing! I could seriously see this being a thing people widely use for making animations in a technical way
