Actually, there is no Twain options for 64 bit OS. The problem is not only for TVPaint (unless other software developers found a bypassed way to do so, but I would be very surprised). To be true, this option should not be available anymore on 64 bit versions of TVPaint.
It works only on 32 bit OS, but, if you allow me to give you an advice, you should better scan with your scanner driver, then import the image sequence in TVPaint.

Hello Elodie.

ahh ok..I see.
I just saw this issue the other day. And then I started to investigate about it. But no luck :(

May I also ask how come the camera (well my camera works in 64 bit) I´m not even sure the camera software is 64 bit??!
I dont even know what I´m talking about.. hahah..
I post a picture of the camera view.

And Hey thanks for responding!!!


Regards.

The webcam drivers are completely separate from the scanner drivers.

For scanning I would do exactly what Elodie mentioned: scan all the drawings in your scanner interface and save them in a folder . Then import the whole folder of scanned drawings into TVPaint.

I use a scanner software called VueScan (instead of the default scanner interface that came with my scanner). VueScan offers many options for adjusting the image quality , cropping/scaling , at the time of the scanning .

Hello David.
Thanks 4 d reply!!

I actually, up til now only use the camera function for line testing stuff. I know the camera drivers is separate from the scanner.
One is always looking for finding ways to minimize the workflow. :)
I also like my scanner software .It also have all the adjusting features needed for getting a clean result. I found a way to make the process pretty fast. I just thought of scanning directly to TVpaint instead into the folder firts would be even more cool to do:)
But all is cool...We Live and learn :)) :)

Thanks!!
