SHIFT

In plain words

SHIFT is a browser-based tool that converts 2D text and SVG files into 3D models with animations. Users upload their files, customize the designs, and generate animated 3D content suitable for websites, applications, social media, or thumbnails. The tool streamlines the creation process into three simple steps, making 3D animation accessible without specialized software or technical expertise.

  I made a free animator. Think Adobe Illustrator but for animation2024 · trangram.com · ▲738

  See animations created by me using Trangram: https://www.trangram.com/showcase I started working on Trangram 7 years ago with a simple idea: a free browser-based vector editor that combines illustration and animation in one place. The goal is to make creating vector graphics and animations as simple as opening a browser. There's nothing to install, no account required, and projects are saved automatically in your browser, so nothing is uploaded to a server. I use Trangram every day for my own illustrations (and occasionally animations). One of the most rewarding parts of…

  A friend and I spent 6 years making a simulation game, finally released▲1,157

  I've seen some interests in (simulation) video games here on HN so I thought I'd share a short version of our story. More than 6 years ago, me and my friend from university were playing around with an idea of making a game we always wanted to play. We worked on it on weekends but the progress was quite slow, especially due to so many dead ends and wasted effort. Eventually however, we solidified our direction and decided to take the risk to resign from our well paid SWE jobs and work on it full time. It took more than a year but yesterday we have finally released it on Steam:…
