Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Hey Nobody - give it time and you'll find that by daring to be different, the TVP team have created something wonderful! Since I've been using it, I often find myself wishing other programs (Photoshop, for example) worked more like TVP!

Hi D

Fear not - one generally finds whatever you want to do, TVP can do it! I think what you're after is previous and next instance. This will flip between your drawings - missing out any frames in between.

Works a treat for me with the Paint Bucket tool set at 50%. You have to make sure the Painting Mode is set to Erase (or just right click with the paint bucket tool).

Edit: Oh - you deleted your post! Now my post makes no sense!

Haha - compliments come in all shapes and sizes! Although I'm not sure the Dr Katz comparison is fair - much as I loved that show, it doesn't have much in the way of animation.

I wasn't that crazy about the intuos 3: you slide to easily on the surface and it feels really "plastic". Simple and cost free solution, for any other Intuos3 users - take a Cornflakes packet (or any other reasonably large thin cardboard packaging) and cut out a rectangle to match the siz...

But I think discussing removal of features to be very interesting. Indeed - and it highlights the treacherous nature of software development! You consider one small, apparently benign alteration and suddenly there are a multitude of unforeseen knock on effects! Also, because of this discussion, I'v...

Did you know if you turn on Repeat, for Pre and Post Behavior, the Light Table images wrap around.

So it does! That's great - saves me temporarily pasting the first image on the end! Thanks for the tip.

Yes, the faux fix is excellent - a typically elegant TVP feature - and I can see how it makes the 'loop' feature redundant. As long as the ability to hold a frame for the duration of an animation (without having to drag out it's instance) remains, I'll be happy.

I find the pre and post behaviour - particularly the 'Hold' function - extremely useful, especially for backgrounds and guide layers.

Love your channel - love your characters and ideas, it's all really funny and well put together. I agree that it would be nice to see the animation developed in a more freehand style (still 'cheap' but less Flash like) - but even as it is, I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks.

Yes - I think the the article is nonsense... but if 'scientific experts' say it is so - it must be so!

I used to get issues with my Wacom drivers dropping occasionally, for no apparent reason.

I tried setting the Wacom drivers to 'Delayed Start' in 'Processes' - I don't know if that is what fixed the issue but I haven't had the problem since. I'm using am Intuos3 with the latest drivers on Win7 x64.

Brilliant. Thank you.

If you start TVP from the Startup Panel (Edit > Preferences > Startup) - there is the option to enter what frame you want the animation to start at. Not sure if this is what you mean. The default is zero, but I prefer my animations to start at one.

It wouldn't be because the layer is locked? That would certainly prevent any transforms. I understood the green/red rectangles worked differently than described here though.. The content is contained in a green rectangle when the Transform tool is selected - the rectangle turns red when the content ...
