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?

Re: Import Multilayer PSD

Shouldn't this throw a descritpive error message in TVP? "This PSD file is in 16bit which TVP can't open. Convert to 8bit and try again."

Re: Importing .mov or .mp4 file with identical images

Any lossy codec will result in frames which may look identical but aren't. You can use TVP's function of recalculating frames with a threshold, instead of the fixed one.

Re: Layout template,and camera motion

I've never felt comfortable with TVP's camera tool, so I do all my camera work in Moho. Many use other programs, but a lot of artists here use TVP's camera. It just depends on your personal preferences.

Re: pencil / charcoal

Here's some of my pencils, try them and analyse. Most are made from several bitmaps. They fit my drawing habits: very light pressure, but getting real fat fast. I mostly use the "noisy hard" paper, 100% size, 50% hardness.

Re: pencil / charcoal

I have tried lots of brushes over the years, but none was perfect. A good result is a combination of the right brush and the right paper. I recommend to do your own style on paper, then analyse it and try to build something close in TVP. I rarely use any brushes from elsewhere, my favourite ones are...
