Hey there all! I’m working to wrap up the marketing and documentation and such for a new addon pack for Foundry. This pack is way overdue for release. I began this pack before starting the development of Alloy, but it got moved to the back burner as development of Alloy demanded much more time than I was expecting.
That said, I wanted to share a few sneak peeks with you all leading up to the release. So let’s take a look at a few of the tutorial videos… I’ll hand pick a couple now and then maybe post some more later today or in the morning.
Vertical Tabs
Generate gorgeously styled, vertically oriented tabbed sections to organize and tidy up your pages.
Pip Navigation
Add a unique little navigation that is manually curated and customizable. The Pip Navigation stack can even be used as an anchor navigation for traversing long pages of content.
In addition to the above two videos… let’s vote on what the next teaser should be… Here are just a few of the other stacks in Thunder (there are 18 stacks in total!)… Choose which one you’d like me to post next:
It’s difficult to decide when one doesn’t know what each stack does. Perhaps you should present them from the top, or alphabetically. Doesn’t really matter…
It’s difficult to decide when one doesn’t know what each stack does…
That’s the fun of it. They’re just previews… all of them will eventually be seen, whether previewed or on release day. We’re just having a bit of fun voting and going by just their names.
Alright, we’ve got 12 votes, and the top vote getter right now is Sort… so let’s that a look at it, below. Now, with that said, keep voting for the other stacks and if we hit 20 votes by the end of the work day I’ll post up the next highest vote getter as well.
Sort
Use this customizable sorting stack to build filterable, searchable blocks of content for your page, featuring beautiful animations and masonry style layouts.
Let’s take a look at our second winner, the Animated Divider stack! Below is the tutorial video for it, and a bonus video.
Animated Divider
Add divider lines to your page that animate into place, expanding to fill in their designated space. You can adjust their start and end size, how they animate, their alignment and more.
As a bonus, we’ll also take a look at the fun Flip stack as well!
Flip
Create two-sided stacks, with your own content on both sides, that can be flipped over by your visitors. Flip can help to organize content in a stylish, fun way.
Hope you all enjoyed today’s teasers. I hope to get the Thunder Pack released in the coming days. Perhaps tomorrow we can do some more teasers as well.
Let’s take a quick look at the Float and Display stacks this morning!
Float
Add two blocks of content to your page, allowing the text in one of them to wrap around the other in a unique magazine-like design.
Display
Develop gorgeous sections of content with their own individual toppers, labels, icons and more. Make your content stand out with Display’s styling and add depth with its stunning soft shadows.
These look fantastic. As someone who doesn’t use blogs I’ve been watching things from the sidelines lately, but so many of these I can’t wait to get my hands on.
Wow, back in from lunch and I see we not only hit 12 votes, but surpassed it by quite a bit! Sweet! I’m going to post the top two vote getters!
Let’s have a sneak peek of the Reveal Pro and Header Plus stacks!
Reveal Pro
Take your animations to the next level. Create advanced, custom animations through a series of controls instead of having to rely on pre-built animation styles.
Header Plus
Header Plus allows you to create more unique headers for your content, making them standout with intricate shadows, outlines, image badges and more.
And just because you all rock for playing along with this silly, fun preview thing… here’s a look at the Cinema stack, too:
Cinema
Create cinematic video backgrounds for your content, or use them as a page banner. The Cinema stack loops your video in the background to create a beautiful ambiance. (As a bonus there will be a few royalty free looping videos available for download on the Cinema Documentation page as well at the time of launch!)
If you didn’t get a stack that you voted for previewed either today or yesterday, don’t fear, I will be working to release the Thunder Pack of stacks sometime tomorrow (if all goes well and nothing crazy happens between now and then)!
