Re: Automated inbetweening

Thanks for the kind words! Yes it seems the techniques are very different. I will say that TV Paint works really well with this technology. The only thing to make it better is sharable file formats! :) We have been very close a Anime Studio in Japan for many years and they are staring to test TV Pai...

Re: Automated inbetweening

It's interesting in terms of results, because it's better than Sykosan ones. There is no fading lines. That's said, I'm not sure that you could make move a whole image (line + color + texture ) created in TVPaint. Or am I wrong ? This point was possible with Sykosan method. Also, what happen if the...

Re: Automated inbetweening

BTW, I forgot to mention that the test you just did was great and the unevenness jitter of your result is not possible to us...yet. Later this year possible. Again We are currently not selling the technology as is been tested at the moment and see it performance testing. Good work! As you told me in...

Re: Automated inbetweening

Woah! You just made my day. I'm sitting here with my mouth open. (And this is the first time some other than me does this character.) This is pretty convincing, given that the keys are not really perfect. I'd say this quality would be good enough for a whole film of mine. Now what about the line qu...

Re: Automated inbetweening

OK, here's a way to keep your precious confidentiality while showing a bit more. I did two fast drawings and challenge you to inbetween them. Nothing fancy, just my usual style, nothing difficult for a human inbetweener. inbetweentest1.png inbetweentest2.png If you can do that, I might get interest...

If you plan to make a living of 2D animation, then this is a true statement.

Re: Automated inbetweening

at which point you might as well just hand-draw the inbetweens. I think the developers of such programs have people in mind who can't draw anything. I had students like that sign up for my class called, "Hand Drawn Computer Animation" asking me if it will matter that they can't draw. Othe...

Re: Automated inbetweening

I don't get it. If you want smooth moving robots, do CGI. And even from the examples I don't believe the software could create perspectively correct inbetweens of a character turning 120° from just 2 keyframes. I think for more complex motion, you'd need to do some kind of vector transformation or ...

Re: Automated inbetweening

It sounds like it ultimately is vectorizing everything in the end, it's just an automated way of going from bitmap to vector tweening/morphing. No, the user needs to clean up the keys in the software. No post conversion. Draw the rough keys loosely if the user wants to on 3rd party software or insi...

Re: Automated inbetweening

When I got involved in the technology for the first time, it did not possessed proper drawing capabilities. Through a friend I learned about TVPAint, and fell in love with the drawing tools. This new technology requires to trace the images in order for the strokes to be interpolated (vectors). Altho...

Re: Automated inbetweening

Every Technology has its limitations unless AI is implemented. All it can be done is clever ways of creating tools that aren't disruptive of the flow of creativity. Even Meander (BetweenIt) which is Disneys new 2d technology has limitations. Some of the core abilities of Meander (BetweenIT) works be...

Re: Automated inbetweening

The reason the test are short are because they are just test. The animation is as good as your keys. If your keys aren't good then you will get just smoother bad animation. As far types of animation goes, we do not support yet texture pens as such. This tools are more targeted at large studios that ...

Re: Automated inbetweening

Hello everyone, the process is pretty simple. 1. First you trace both keys with some tools to maximize speed 2. You created the in-betweens you wish and space them according to any animation chart on the key drawings. 3. After interpolation you will need some minor tweaking on the strokes. 4. Then t...

Re: Automated inbetweening

Hello everyone, Here is another technology that would complement TVPaint. There is no real trick, is pure drawing interpolation. Yes there is a procedure to it, but not intrusive just a small adjustment on the workflow and that's it. The Trick is on the interacting toolsets. Here are some test I did...
