“coldtype-for-blender” has a new name: ST2 v0.6 now available: https://t.co/ygjDcInIls

working on support for COLRv1 in @coldtypexyz — will be part of the next release, thanks to BlackRenderer — here's a test on colab: https://t.co/KRZD9guihl (copied the arabic text from the google fonts site — please let me know if it looks wrong!)

new version of coldtype-blender now available https://t.co/TLGl9ZDSiN — just a small update to add support for turning text into shapes that you can throw around, like i'm doing here (shapes from Streco by @SophiaTypeLove)

a quick tour of the examples/animations directory in the @coldtypexyz python repository ( https://t.co/00fpM6dD9z)

another test of the coldtype add-on for blender — still very early days and lots of bugs, but now publicly available at https://t.co/YFH5Kn5yaw if you’d like to try it out (font credit: @cinketype’s Kass)

recipe: turn a 2D vector into a stereo waveform (X/Y -> L/R), play it back through a very resonant low-pass filter (with a constantly changing cutoff frequency), & display the results on an XY scope

experimenting with support for processing/p5js-like endless animations, so here’s a recreation of the classic DVD screensaver with a bunch of different two-axis variable fonts

A lot to unpack in the new 0.8.0 release of Coldtype (tutorials coming soon), but for now here’s a loop, the code to make that loop ( https://t.co/U1Gf3cS19K), & the changelog for the new release ( https://t.co/rMyko3dS8b)

A common question when trying out coldtype: “what are some good variable fonts that animate nicely?” Here’s a new discussion on the coldtype github, with a few of my favorites and a little code to iterate over them: https://t.co/6tbUjXeQRi

Very cool thread of variable type animations from @jesi_rgb

Looking to learn a little about animating variable fonts with Coldtype? There's a workshop for that! 9/30 at 9:30 (pacific time) as part of @typewknd 2021 — more info here: https://t.co/niEqwHTLz2 — registration opens tonight

an odd little video that began life as a coldtype code test

a code test using a font for testing code (convenient in coldtype: `Font.MutatorSans()`) https://t.co/tlp4ZD2WRM

a little something from the video:

Anyone been looking for a long & rambling introduction to animating variable fonts with Coldtype? Well here it is! https://t.co/MORQLKSDJO

the easiest way to get to know coldtype (without installing anything at all): a notebook on @GoogleColab animate completely in the browser & download png frames or compiled mp4s when you’re done https://t.co/VKXxkT3fzd

a view of the source (some @coldtypexyz code rendering itself (with the help of blender))

“warped words / curved mirror” — variable font support by @coldtypexyz & distorted/curved mirror surfaces in blender — might be getting a little further in my quest to figure out how title designers made titles in the 60s and 70s
