Clean-up Tool - Ideas for the future

Post by Iuri »

Hi folks!

Recently, I've been cleaning-up some of my animations, and during the process I thought: "If a clean-up tool could be done, it'll be great!"
Then, I remember about the Lazybrush plugin, developed for TVPaint, to paint automatic drawings, (http://www.lazy-brush.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;), and I contacted the plugin team to tell about my clean-up idea.
One of the members told me that it'll be a great tool, and sent me some papers that two universities in the world are developing about this, and it is really great.

One paper is from USA, and have a great process: http://www.ahornung.net/files/pub/2013- ... -noris.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Another paper is from France, and it's very interesting too: http://hal.inria.fr/docs/00/85/72/65/PD ... d_2013.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Maybe TVPaint team can contact one of this universities and start to collaborate with this too. =)

Thanks!

If you're talking about cleaning up scanned images originally drawn on paper, this already exists in TVPaint.

That paper is from the Disney Animation Studios Technical Papers website:

There is supplemental material (images) that go with that paper :

This approach is for a vector-based application. For this to be in TVPaint it would have to add vector layers. I think the vast majority of TVPaint users are going to take a more traditional approach to clean-up, that is to draw the clean-up lines freehand , with maybe an assist from the Line Smoothing in the Shape Settings panel.
