Above are the Images I did this summer that I’m really happy with!

So as a TLDR for the post,

-Animation Compilation below, has OC's in it, whom are credited to the creators.

-My favorite images from this summer that I did, either for commissions or fun, are in the comments with an additional image showing all the character models I made or tweaked in the past year, which tallied to 68.

-I'm fixing the storyboards for Jade's trailer to begin production once I get to college.

-JADE is moving from Remnant to a new world of my creation. They aren't RWBY OC's anymore. Answers to any questions you might have are possibly located in the FAQ part of the post that I'm sharing.

-I'm not going to stop posting here, since it does not break any rules, and have spoken with an admin on a schedule. I will be able to keep my weekly schedule since it is only one post per week, and isn't diverting the group from it's primary focus. But if I do stop posting, then most likely I broke a rule.

Hello Everyone!

So I’ve reached the last week of my summer break before going back to College! So I’ve got a couple of things to get to.

First of all, I have compiled all the animations from this year that have been posted on this page, but not on my youtube channel. The finish date has been posted. I’ve also attached the 3 Commission Animations that I did for Recent Commissions!

https://youtu.be/h0iylBttnTY

Second, here is all the quality images that I have completed this summer! It contains plenty of OC’s that I did for either Commissions, or as fan art for my friends! The OC’s and their owners shall be listed below! On top of that, I did a tally image of all the models I have worked on, or modeled from scratch and rigged in the past year. That tally reached 68 Models. Now those OC’s will be listed with their owners below if they do not belong to me. Now if we were to count models that weren’t rigged I technically have over 100 models, because of some fun requests I did around a year ago.

Thirdly, I am currently working on fixing up the storyboards to be easier to read in terms of poses and action. I will be finishing up the storyboards over the next few days, and should be able to finish the animatic before going back to College.

Finally, next week I will be releasing a poster to announce the production beginning on Jade’s Trailer. Now with that will be a visual reveal of something that’ll change how the series functions. JADE is jumping ship from Remnant, and will no longer be considered “RWBY OC’s”, instead they are going to be characters in a world that I am currently creating. It isn’t fully completed in concept, but the events of Jade’s trailer will be easy to pin in this world since the concepts of this new world that’ll be present in Jade’s trailer have already been planned out. There are several reasons for me doing this, firstly, I really adore these characters and would love to make the series to it’s full completion, but unless I work for RT, they green light the show (Which their internship pages have illustrated that they are not looking for a new show concept, unless if you are a higher-up in the company, which is fair), and I’m given creative control on the project, I cannot create the show as into the future as I would love to, while being able to sustain myself without simply infringing on copyright. Which is, again, a fair point. Secondly, I am doing this because it would allow me to be more creative with the world, and improve my writing abilities by forcing myself to do research overload, a task I find oh so exciting. Thirdly, it would probably be more appropriate for the series in reflection, because all drafts of any script or outline for JADE since beginning making RWBY OC’s in general involved me conceptualizing new ideas for Remnant ranging from locales, cultures, aura systems, and aura abilities making those drafts’ only attachment to RWBY seem to be the color team name, aura, dust, and semblance.

To address some questions before they do come up, as they are fair points.

-I will be doing my best to separate JADE from RWBY as much as possible. In fact, their team name was never based on a color in it’s origin, it’s actually an inside-joke amongst them. So if I decide to keep the joke, I’ll keep the name, but if I don’t then the name will vanish. As a warning for the future of this update, I will be using the Remnant counterparts to the systems in this world.

-The “Aura” of the world, will not feature a primary defense mechanism, and is currently being conceptualized as an idea that groups people into various classes of combat, and life in general, since it can be used to determine personality. I’m going to try to enhance upon that so I can differentiate between this culture and Remnant’s.

-The “Dust” of the world, will not have lead to man’s creation, will not be explosive, will have additional types that will differentiate it from dust, and will need further tweaking to properly distinguish it.

-The “Semblance” of this world will not be based on a personality trait, but a flaw, since a theme of the story will be about self betterment, or achieving perfection. So the power is designed to counter-act that key weakness in their character, forcing them to begin to change, but not get the instant answer.

-The “Grimm” of this world, are different in every way I can imagine, as they were designed to, and will take on a more natural approach, as opposed to silhouette-like designs.

-Characters will not be named after colors, there will be birth reasons for it that aren’t related to colors. Sadly, this is an idea I only realized was an issue recently, so I will be making an effort to properly think this through so it won’t be subject to an accusal of plagiarism.

-All-in-All I’m going to try to make the world as far from Remnant as possible.

If you decide to stop supporting this project, I hope I’ve entertained you with my Animation, and that you have a fantastic life, and if you haven’t already, go watch NYON Episode 2, it’s just so much fun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nXYbPGqVjA&t=447s

Tools for React Native Development

Tools, libraries and services are an important part of the life of every developer, no matter the environment you develop. No exception React Native. In this article, I will guide you through some of the best UI frameworks, libraries, components, development tools, and web services that will make you a happier and more productive React Native developer.

Visual Studio Code is a text editor that has IntelliSense integration, debugging, and integrated Git capabilities. What makes it very good for React Native development is the extension React Native tools . This allows you to execute the original react command from the palette command, add IntelliSense to react to the original fire, and debug the code in the editor itself.

For more information about how to set the Visual Studio code to react native, check out this blog post: VSCode for React Native .

If you use Atom , you can install the Nuclide plugin ��. This plugin is specifically designed to work with React Native, Flow, and Hack projects. It has a built-in debugger and element inspector with all the features that you use for Chrome Developer Tools. The support flow means that you get autocomplete, indicates the type and diagnostic code from the box.

If you want to explore more IDE and editor options, see this blog post in the Top 10 Editor for React Native . Development Tools

Development tools have a wide range, so I will group each tool based on focus:

SDK Quality code testing debugging

SDK

When I entered the SDK for React Native, no one beat the Expo . Expo allows you to easily create application prototypes without the need for Android Studio or Xcode. It includes a set of components and libraries to help you speed up your development.

The Expo workflow consists of the following:

Create a new project using create-react-native-app . Write the code in your favorite text editor. Run the application using the Expo client application. No need to connect the cellphone to your computer. Just scan the QR code on your terminal using the Expo client application, and it will automatically run your application. If you use Genymotion, Expo also supports it .

The only drawback when using Expo is that you cannot include any special packages that use the device's native functions. The Expo includes a number of commonly used original packages such as Camera, Facebook, and Maps. But if you need to use a package that they haven't supported, then you have to 'issue' your application. At that time, your application will be created with react-native init, and you will also lose the ability to run it using the Expo client application.

Code quality

Checking the quality of your code is important, and that is why tools like ESLint exist. In short, the lint tool allows you to be more consistent with your code by checking it with the style guide. An example of a style guide like that is Airbnb 's JavaScript Style Guide that specifies the rules for how JavaScript code should be written. The linting tool then checks your code for rules to ensure that they have been followed. There is also a style guide for the React project .

If you use Sublime Text, here is a good tutorial on how you can configure it so you can have real-time feedback on the quality of your code while you are coding: Sublime Linting for React and ES6 . If you use another editor or IDE, be sure to look for the appropriate plugins that use ESLint.

If you want to add static typing to your project, you can use flow. The stream adds static - typing above JavaScript without you having to make changes to your existing code base. This is because Flow tries to deduce the type wherever possible. For new projects, though, it is recommended that you explicitly set the type to reap the full benefits of using Flow.

To start using Flow, here's a tutorial on how you can set Flow for your React Native project .

Testing

Enzymes are testing tools for React that allow you to confirm, manipulate, and traverse your component output. This provides a method such as shallow()for 'shallowly' to create your component, find()to traverse the given component, and expect()to confirm the props or content provided in the component.

You can follow this guide to Using enzymes to Test Components in React Native to make your application react with the original tested with enzymes. If you are new to enzymes, you can read this tutorial on React Component Testing with Enzyme and Mocha .

Debugging

Reactotron is a desktop application that allows you to debug React and React Native apps. Some of the main features include checking, modifying, and subscribing to application status, tracking HTTP requests made through the application, estimating application performance, and tracking errors. If you use Redux, you can even send actions and track saga from within Reactotron.

Boilerplates and UI Frameworks

Snowflake is a boilerplate construction full-stack reactor. This includes everything from the front-end to the back-end App. So if you only want a tool that can help you quickly get started then you might find useful Snowflake. You can read the notes for more information about what packages and tools are used to install them.

Or, you can use Ignite . This is a tool that also includes boilerplate, generator, style guide for UI components, API testing tools, and more.

React Native is equipped with UI components that you can use for user interaction. The problem is that they only have the most basic style in order for each component to be distinguished for what it is (eg buttons, check boxes). If you want to add a custom style, you must write your own CSS code.

This is the time for NativeBase to come. This allows your application to have a truly original look and feel by applying the same design used in the original Android (design material) and iOS application (interface guide). Out of the box, you get custom floating action button components, spinners and best of all, component shapes.

Libraries and Components React Native has a large community behind it, so there are many libraries and components that you can use. We can spend all day talking about this, so to keep things short, I will focus on the following areas:

navigation Status management animation commonly used components and libraries Navigation React Navigation allows you to easily apply navigation in your application to react native through the use of the Navigator with built-in tools such as the Navigator stack, Navigator Tab, and Drawer Navigator. That's not all, though: In addition to navigation in the app, it also includes deep linking, Redux integration, and web integration. This makes a truly powerful library for carrying out navigation.

Status Management MobX provides functionality to update and manage country applications used by React. What makes a good candidate for management state to react is simplicity and testability. It also has a short learning curve, so things like async functions and calculated values are handled behind the scenes.

For larger and more complex applications, Redux is still recommended. This is because MobX is very liberal, unlike Redux, which provides strict guidance on how the country should be managed. So this is a wiser choice for larger projects with more people working on it.

Animation React Native already has an animated API built in it. In fact, there is not only one, but two APIs for working with animations: Animated API and LayoutAnimation. Both are very strong but can be troublesome, especially if all you want to do is apply basic animations such as moving objects up and down or making them bounce. In this case, components like Animatable are very useful.

Commonly Used Components and Libraries The following is a list of components and libraries that are often used in original reacting projects. It's compatible with Android and iOS devices:

styled components : allows you to write your style CSS code to react components. react-native-calendar : to show a calendar that can interact with users. ret-naactive-datepicker : to select the date and time. react-native-progress : to create progress bars and spinners. react-original-spinkit : collection of loading indicators. Vector Icons : allows you to use icons from font sources of your favorite icons such as Font Awesome and icon material. react-native-swiper : change image collections or containers into swiping components. react-native-scrollable-tab-view : navigation tab that you can slide between. react-native-lightbox : to view images in full-screen pop-overs. react-native-maps : lets you integrate Google Maps into your application. Not all features available on the Google Maps API are available, but the functionality they provide should be sufficient for most cases. SGListView : an easy to remember implementation of the default ListView component of React Native. If you need to display a large list in your application, use this instead of a ListView. Formic : making dealing with forms in the original react less painful. This allows you to get values and get out of state form, validate forms, and handle their shipments. react-native-i18n : to implement internationalization in your application. react-native-push-notification : implements local and remote push notifications. InstantSearch : collection of components to implement search. react-native-fs : allows you to access the device's original file system. react-native-camera : a camera component that allows you to take photos and videos from your application. react-native-video : to play videos from your file system or from a URL. react-native-sqlite-storage : for storing and manipulating data from SQLite databases. react-native-store : storage of key values based on AsyncStorage. react-native-webrtc : to implement WebRTC. Web services You can create applications without a server and facilitate the deployment of your React Native application by using web services. There are lots of web services out there, but I will focus on the following areas:

database Analytics push notifications code update continuous integration Database Realm is a real-time database focusing on mobile applications. This includes features such as two-way data synchronization, first offline capability, and data push. The Realm Mobile Database is open-source and cross-platform, which means you can host the Realm Object Server on your own server and then use the JavaScript Realm library for free.

Not all features are available in the developer edition, but in most cases your use should not be a problem with only the developer edition because it includes core features such as Object Database, Real-Time Synchronization, and Authentication. Here's what comparison you get for each edition: Realm Products and Prices .

If the Realm is too much for your needs, you can always stick with the AsyncStorage API that comes with React Native.

Analytics Fabric is an all-in-one service that allows you, among other things , to add analytics to your application. There is an answer , which gives you real-time statistics about how your application is used. This includes the number of active users, length of session, and retention rate. There is also Crashlytics , which gives you great damage reporting capabilities. All of that happens in real time, and you can see it on the Fabric real-time dashboard. You can use the Fabric library to easily set up Fabric for your React Native application.

If you prefer to use tried and tested solutions like Google Analytics, there are also libraries that allow you to do that.

Push Notifications There is absolutely no competition when it comes to implementing push notifications in the application. Firebase Cloud Messaging (formerly known as Google Cloud Messaging) lets you send push notifications to Android and iOS applications. You can use react-native-fcm package to communicate with FCM from your application.

Code update CodePush allows you to deploy code updates to the mobile application directly to the user's device. CodePush acts as a central repository where you can apply changes to HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and assets such as images. The appropriate CodePush code in the app will then withdraw this change. This is great for encouraging bug fixes for applications without the need to upload in the app store and waiting for users to update the application. You can use this package to pull updates from CodePush in your application to react native.

Continuous integration Bitrise is a continuous delivery service for developing mobile applications. This allows you to run your tests, build applications and automatically push them to the user's device every time you use your code.

Bitrise is integrated with a group of services at every step of your development workflow. For example, when you encourage you to release the GitHub branch, Bitrise was told that it pushed through webhooks. This will start the test. After passing the test, the building process begins. If it is only a 'soft release' (for example a JavaScript code change) then changes can be used for users via CodePush. But if there is a change to the original code (eg you add a Camera plugin), then Bitrise can also create APK or IPA files and apply them to Google Play or iTunes Connect.

FastLane is a collection of tools that automate the build and release process for Android and iOS applications. For iOS, handle tasks such as running your tests, generating screenshots, signing code, and releasing apps to the app store. It also includes beta testing tools such as pilots and dormitories. The pilot allows you to upload your application to iTunes Connect and manage your TestFlight beta testers from the command line. The hostel created a registration page for beta testers TestFlight.

The tools are more geared towards iOS deployment, but you can also take advantage if you are using an Android application. At present, there are only two tools available for Android deployment: supply and Screengrab.

Supply allows you to automate the process of uploading assets such as app icons, graphic promos, and screenshots of the app. It also allows you to update your application on the Google Play Store.

Screengrab , on the other hand, automatically generates screenshots for several devices. Each screenshot can also be localized if your application supports multiple languages.

Conclusion That's it! In this article, you have learned about some of the tools, libraries, and services that you can use when developing native react applications. How about you? What do you go-for tools when it comes to developing applications in reacting genuine?
