Elodie wrote:Neonnoodle, what Erick tries to explain is that both notes and blue pencils are something from traditional animation, so there is no really need to say " they stole something from me", as inspiration comes from the same background (= traditional animation).
That's also why I don't really like when Niels write on his website we "stole the Blue pencil". It's like telling "they have a color palette, such thieves"

Saying Pencil Test software isn't professional is an out of touch comment to make don't you think? surely you don't mean it? kind of blows away TVPs entire ethos? can't think what else I'd use it for other than frame by frame animation...Elodie wrote:Lite version, pencil test version, painting software for tablets... yes, all those ideas are dedicated to specific use and users, but they all have in common to be casual software, not professional software.

Also makes you wonder why Studio Ghibli would spend so much on Toonz Linetest, those casual animators!
Considering that there is already some commercial software and also open source software for doing pencil tests (hell, in a pinch, you can even use Gimp with its animation plugin), having a TVPaint-based one isn't going to help anything and would likely result in weak sales and not be worth the effort to develop and support.Elodie wrote:@Neonnoddle : when you want to play piano, you can start with a low cost digital piano.

That's the same with animation : you can start with a low cost software (among the numerous one which already exist) then, later, decide to purchase something more professional to improve your art.
That's said, there is no really need (or even time or money) for us to develop a third software.
You can look at it another way too. That is, those who can't afford a top end piano/keyboard start at at a lower end with less workstation capabilities with a specific brand that has a specific way of doing things. If you have good experience with a cheaper Roland keyboard, you're likely to opt for a much nicer roland keyboard when the time to upgrade comes along if they make a keyboard that has the features you're in need of.Elodie wrote:@Neonnoddle : when you want to play piano, you can start with a low cost digital piano.
