3am yesterday. couldn't sleep.
so naturally i spent 3 hours recreating a video nobody asked me to recreate.
i should probably fix my sleep schedule, but at least i got an animation out of it.
on the bright side, if you need motion design, i'm apparently awake.

Exploring glass-like cell division simulations in Blender.
This piece focuses on procedural animation, material development, lighting, and motion design aesthetics.
Created entirely in Blender.
The translucent membrane quality is really convincing here. Getting that kind of subsurface scattering without it looking overcooked is tricky in Blender. Did you use geometry nodes for the cell division simulation or was the growth hand-keyed?
I wanted to build a Sci-fi HUD creation tool with plenty of customization options.
So I built the SINGULARITY HUD CREATION TOOL
Live site: https://singularityhud.figma.site/
GitHub Repository: https://github.com/nytrite/SingularityHudCreationTool
SINGULARITY is a notch web-based studio for making cool animated graphics, technical drawings, and futuristic interfaces.
It works in your browser and uses special technology to make smooth animations.
The studio has a professional look, with a dark theme, orange accents, and a clean, simple design.
This makes it easy for designers to create and animate graphics and export them in a ready-to-use format, such as MP4.
The tool is great for making all sorts of graphics from animated user interfaces to schematics and cinematic sci-fi interfaces.
It uses an animation engine that makes everything look smooth and realistic.
With SINGULARITY, designers can make high-quality motion graphics and HUDs quickly and easily.
My process:
Pen and paper → Figma make → Using Figma make to generate ideas → Prompting it out as perfectly as I can get it to work → Connected to Supabase → Deployed
Thank you!
Nobody tells you that the hardest part of freelancing is the waiting.
Waiting for the right brief.
The right client.
The right moment to feel ready.
For a long time I treated momentum like something that arrives if you're patient enough.
This summer I'm done waiting for the current. I'd rather be it:)
So I made this.
A swimmer caught mid-stroke, blurred because she's moving, while the only thing holding still long enough to read is the word.
I built it backwards on purpose: the image is frozen but full of motion, and the text is the part that actually moves. A still that's all velocity, a motion that's all calm. That contrast is the whole feeling.
The process:
- Ideogram to generate the swimmer, motion blur and all
- Canva for grain and a bit of the moody texture
- Framer for the moving text, because if momentum is the theme, I wanted the motion to be real, not faked. Also because I'm spending this summer chasing more Framer work for Formeta, so I figured I'd practice what I preach
- Screen recorded the final piece to capture the motion
Movement as meditation. The work moves when I do.
What's the energy you're swimming into this summer?
The motion blur still juxtaposed with the text looks super sick!
