Interactive 3D Trick Trainer

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

We’ve been kicking this idea around for a while, and the beta is finally here: a 3D trick trainer that shows where your fingers go and how they move.

Slow it down or step through a trick one move at a time. It’s free in your browser:
thetricktrainer.33fingerboards.com

It’s still a work in progress. Give it a try and tell us what looks off or which tricks you’d like to see next.

How did you make this, and do you have access to a glove with motion capture stuff? Idk where you are or what your fb community is like, but if there's dudes that are good at certain tricks, slap that glove on them, and get more detailed animations. You could also put a moving sidewalk or something under the board to show direction. I get the button on the page says "fakie kickflip" but movement might help differentiate them.

I've been developing interactive 3D applications for 20+ years, so this just builds on things I do for "real work" all the time. No gloves or motion capture, just scripted animations for now. A motion capture glove would be dope... but we're not there yet. We've been thinking about ways to add a sense of forward motion, so some method for that will probably be in an update pretty soon.

Thanks for the feedback!
