Hello ?

What are you talking about ? There are no "buckets" in TVP animation. I think you're not using the good word.

And by the way, don't say "I want somebody make the option plugin or the script..." but "Please could someone give me an option plugin or script ?"

I guess he's talking about the "Fill" tool.

There's a "smooth" parameter which gives you control about the anti-aliasing.

I guess so,
although I have noticed the FloodFill Smooth parameter tend to extend the filled area,
so you could have to balance this growing by tweaking Expand to a negative value (-1).
the other confusing thing (to be fixed imo) is that Smooth = 1 (which should be the AA equivalent)
doesn't smooth anything (see Gif below, Zoom x4), the smoothing effect starts only at Smooth = 2.

anyway, with a little care in your settings, you should get exactly what you need.
also, to get rid of AA artifacts with the floodfill tool, don't miss the "Behind" mode,
with a bit of positive Expand (+1 or +2) to overlap the line art.

Oooh, not bad Slowtiger ! =)

(in fact, each time I heard "bucket", I think about this )

thanks for your good explanation Zig

I'm always amused when someone is coming to beg in urgency for a Plugin,
instead of asking humbly how the other users would do ?

I need a anti-alias option.

that's a strange manner, indeed,
and I think it's the last time I will take on my time to help such an uncivil guy ...

Bye~

He's a Korean, so maybe it doesn't really know English, and that's maybe why he seems impolite ?

[arche75]

I'm so sorry. My English is poor.
Thank slowtiger, ZigOtto for your reply
I hope you will forgive me for rude.
The Smooth option of Fill is a little different results what I want. so I asked.

I too was confused about the "missing" anti alising of the flood fill tool. and I also have difficulties to recreate it with the smooth options. so why not have a anti alising option on the Floodfill tool?
or what should the option be to precisely recreate the antialising effect with the smooth option?

I have actually used gaussien blur to create antialising on my fills because I don't like the smooth option

I think you can use the Magic Wand selection tool to tweak the antialiasing to your taste, then fill the selection. PS only combines this in one tool, sharing those parameters with the magic wand.

The reference would be like this:

Code: Select all

                    PS     TVP
AntiAlias On/Off    x      x
Range/Tolerance     x      x
Expand                     x
Smooth                     x

Thats a way to do It. I used to do it like that in Photoshop but then it could be nice to have a fill selection with a color function.
Is there such a function so I can make multiple magic wand selection and then fill with a color?

I think its a little streange that the magic wand selection has an anti alising option and a smooth option but the flood fill has only the smooth to make tvpaint more consistent I think a anti alising option at the flood fill would be nice

You are welcome.

We didn't notice immediately you was from Korea. Feel free to ask anything you need.

That would be nice. in PS I can have a multiple selection and either erase it with delete or fill it with the foreground colour with alt-delete.

[ZigOtto]

not exactly, but roughly AA equivalent is : Expand = -1 and Smooth = 3 .

... Is there such a function so I can make multiple magic wand selection and then fill with a color?

it's the way I often use, multi selections first (with AA), then a shortkey to fill all-in-once !
the only thing still missing to me is the Source options for the Magic Wand selection tool,
(Layer/Front/Back/Display)
