Camera only window? Modular display window possible?

Post by swiftsketcher »

Hi, I've been messing around with the demo and was curious about two things:

Is it possible for an additional project window to display only what the camera is showing? At the moment you can only see the camera output if you scrub through.

Is it also possible to detach the display to be modular outside of the program like the other tool windows?

Hi!

Thank you for answering my question. Sorry for the late reply.

This is almost what I mean, but do I need to basically re-render this camera view every time I want to see what the camera sees in this separate window? Is there any way to see this other window reflect the changes live while remaining in the camera view?

And is there any way to detach this window to a second monitor?

i don't think you can yet move a project view outside of the interface.


i forgot to mention so maybe it was not clear... what you see in the image are two windows of the same project
you can (theoraticly) have an endless number of windows open, use shortcut 'm'

Hello swiftsketcher,
You can create a new project view with "M" as mentionned by Peter, but unfortunatelly, it is not possible to move this windows outside the interface because the Main window of TVPaint is the Project window, even if you have 2 projects windows at the same time.
By the way, it is currently not possible to have one window in Project view and one window in Camera View of your current project during the Preview. Both windows are synchronized.

It has been added to our feedback list, we will see what can be done in the future version !
