Re: Approach for lineless Animation

You can always adjust the fill tool's expand to your taste. Trick: it still works with the line layer above set to 0% opacity ... Another approach might be to animate the fills directly, without outlines. My friend Anita Bruneburg uses the shape tool for this, see examples: https://twitter.com/brune...

Re: Export name

In order to do that, a reference to the computer used (or the TVP serial number) needs to be saved within the file, and that's something I definitely DON't want.

Re: Export name

I had that problem when I received files from others. Each time I wanted to render those had a pathname completely different from mine. I think this cannot be solved: either you save that pathname within the file, then it will carry it to a different machine. Or you have the pathname remembered in T...

Re: Importing MOV files to TVPaint: how to avoid file size bloat?

There are several tricks to this. 1. Do all image enhancing first in your video editor (boosting up contrast for rotoscoping, brightening, etc). 2. Use a very powerful machine. No, not the laptop you barely could afford as a student. A decent desktop with lots of RAM, an SDD (nowadays standard), and...

Re: Export name

Hm, I'm not sure if this should be fiddled with. Everyone has different expectations to this, and everyone has adapted their habits to the way TVP works right now. Changing these would in worst cases lead to loss of data through overwriting.

Re: A Way to Imitate Disney's C.A.P.S system?

The whole discussion can be closed by just one simple fact: CAPS was not a 64bit application, I bet it was only 16bit. No need to resurrect a relict like that.

Re: clean workspace for animation

There's no single answer because people's preferences are different, and they use different hardware setups: tablet + computer + keyboard, with one to (up to) 4 screens, cintiq + computer + keyboard (that's me), cintiq + monitor + computer + keyboard, tabletcomputer with shuttle, tabletcomputer only.

Re: Non-destructive mask over a layer

In such a case, with several layers/objects in movement, I first render this chunk as a video, then import, then cut a a part of this to cover the plant. OR I create a simple mask of the covering part and use it to cut off the parts of the plant that should be invisible, after the plant insertion is...

Re: Non-destructive mask over a layer

Having a half-transparent background can cause trouble. But you can easily create an opaque overlay like this: - duplicate transparent layer - create a layer under it - fill it completely with white (or whatever your BG colour is) - activate mask in duplicated BG layer and reverse it - hit delete on...

Re: Pencil brush like 'Maman Pleut des Cordes'

Looks like an Animbrush to me. Several bitmaps, sorted by size, animation controlled by pressure.

Re: Working on animatik on 1280x720, 4fps and still lagging

Let's check basics: you say it's only 1 image per shot.
- Is it also 1 frame, or is ist several frames? How many frames has the whole project?
- how many layers?
