Odd ERASER behavior in 11.7.2

I noticed a strange eraser behavior in 11.7.2 today - In 11.7.2 I was using the PENCIL tool to draw, then I turn the Wacom pen over to use the Eraser end -- which worked correctly -- but when I turned the pen over to resume drawing it switched to the PEN tool , instead of switching back to the PENC...

Re: Questions about TVPaint 11.5.3

Hi, Joe, I'm not sure if you're still checking back to this forum, but there is now a better solution for what you want to do with turning your animatic clips into separate projects. Hironari Takagi of Studio WIT has made a script to automatically export clips to projects with the clip name intact. ...

Re: Questions about TVPaint 11.5.3

UPDATE : There is a much better way to do this now , so ignore the bulk of my post below and use this: Hironari Takagi of Studio WIT has made a script to automatically export clips to projects with the clip name intact.

Re: Add the camera darkening/toggle to the camera options

+1 .

Excellent idea. It make sense.

I would keep the function in both Display Settings and in the Camera Tool panel if possible.

Re: Use of PNGs in After Effects

Hello David, this is something that will be discussed again during v12's life cycle, as it won't make it to v12.0. I still hope that PNG export settings can be fixed as soon as possible. (it's not a minor bug, because some clients specifically ask for image sequences delivered as PNGs, even though ...

I think the (Japanese language only) TVPaint book you refer to is available on Amazon, from Hironori Takagi , who posts here, regularly... sven I also remembe...

Re: Mistakes in the user guide

In the user guide there are no instructions on how to use the Timesheet function (in face, "Timesheet" is not even mentioned in the User Guide). I realize that the Timesheet function is primarily used by Japanese users of TVPaint , but if the function exists in TVPaint it seems that it sho...

I'm using TVPaint 11.7.2. Here is a strange thing I noticed: I have my Intuous grip pen buttons set to Upper B...
