Re: About cel animation (flipping,colorizing,camerawork,etc..)

Coloring a scanned image: from your description I take it that what you scan in is only the rough animation, and the clean-up will be done in TVP. In this case there's no need to make the scanned-in image transparent first. You just creat a new layer on top of it and do your clean-up there. IN case...

Re: About cel animation (flipping,colorizing,camerawork,etc..)

The flipping. If you want to only flip a few selected frames you could use the bookmarks to mark the frames you need to see flipping and then use CTRL+Shift + arrow keys to flip only the bookmarked frames. Thank you for your explanations. But Shift+Ctrl+arrow key is not an option since it needs 2 h...

Re: About cel animation (flipping,colorizing,camerawork,etc..)

■Flipping you can flip the nb of instances you want, just increase/decrease the flipbook duration (0.10s f.i.) in the preview setting panel, also you can flip "on the fly" at the speed you want by scrubbing (RMB-click & drag) on the flip "hand" button. Thanks for your explan...

About cel animation (flipping,colorizing,camerawork,etc..)

I have tested the new TVpaint but there are a lot of things I don't manage to do so I hope I can find some help here. ■Flipping I have tested the off pegs features, as well as the new "off pegs flipping" feature and they are great. But there seems to be a sort of bug with the new "off...

Re: Traditional Lighttable Function

The way you inbetween is visible in the final result, and I can say that at least for me I am terribly sensitive to waving lines on inbeweens. It makes what should have been a beautiful animation a cheap "I had no time to do it correctly" thing. Damn! Those are fighting words. Where can w...

Re: Traditional Lighttable Function

Regarding the ability to flip off-pegs, Slowtiger explained it beautifully, to get the inbetweens as accurate as possible, I just think it could be useful in only few cases, but why to go for more accuracy than the eyes can percieve ? animation (cinema art in general) isn't the art to fool the view...

Re: Traditional Lighttable Function

From my assistant & inbetweenig days I remember the workflow like this: first you do a rough inbetween with all drawings on pegs - you need to know where your inbetween goes. Only after that you take the drawings off the pegs and turn the rough into a clean inbetween. Flipping while off the peg...

Re: Traditional Lighttable Function

Hello Isd, did you try this button ? Use the left mouse button and move the mouse (then release the mouse button) or Use the right mouse button. (it keeps the lighttable settings with the out of pegs) :) Thanks for the help, I didn't know this button :) But this flips between the frames of the time...

Re: Traditional Lighttable Function

I personnally don't miss that, the only thing I need is to flip in-pegs, because it's "in-pegs" that I need to check if it works or not. :wink: That's what i was thinking. Still...if for some reason you really do need to see the 'off pegs' animated, you can always actually move your drawi...

Re: Traditional Lighttable Function

The feature has been implemented but is not realy usable IMO. Since we can't flip between the off pegs drawings. Is there some hope this feature will be implemented? The only soft thas has it so far is Retas Stylos, but it doesn't allow to paint inside the software like tvpaint, so it would be a kil...

About the new feature of the light box

Being able to temporarily move the drawings in the light box IS GREAT(well in fact it should be the first feature of any animation software but, well...). BUT there is a VERY big problem that makes this feature less than useful : it should be possible to flip through the frames of the light box in t...

I will try to explain in detail the problems I have. So let's say I want to create the scene drawn below. The character is running through the screen while the camera pans up to the sky. To create this animation I decide to : 1- create the running cycle in a project 2-create the timing of the runnin...

Multi level XSheet feature request

Let me explain what i mean by "multi level": when you use an xsheet to time your animation, if you want to apply effects or motion on the layer you created you can't (at least I can't do it with the tvpaint pro 8.5 trial). I have some experience with macromedia flash and a killer feature i...
