Hello,
I've been using TVPaint on a MacBook Pro (2014 / 13" / 2.4 GHz i5 / 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM) for the last couple of months, and everything has been more or less perfect. I wanted to switch over to me iMac (2010 / 21.5" / 3.6 GHz i5 / 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM) but the lines I draw on the iMac come out with what I can only describe as little hiccups in them. It sort of reminds me of when I tried to draw in TVPaint with OpenGL turned on. There just seem to be parts of the curve that I draw that don't look right. Oh, and I'm drawing with a 13"HD Cintiq. Could it be the video card or the RAM or the processor? I tried to draw the same kind of lines (spheres, arcs, other curvy things) on both machines and there's definitely a difference. I hope its just a setting that I haven't set correctly, but it isn't exactly the line quality that is the problem, as it is the shape of the whole curves that I'm trying to draw. Please advise!
Thanks,
Justin G.
Here are my smooth curves:
and these are the broken ones:
I hope you can see the difference!

Re: Broken Lines
Hello Justin !
Could you tell me which version of TVPaint Animation do you use, and which version of Mac OSX do you use ?

It could be :Could it be the video card or the RAM or the processor?
1) Wacom drivers related
2) Smooth line option related.
3) An other software running in background, perturbing the wacom signal.
Would you mind posting the same screenshots but using the dot tools ?

Re: Broken Lines
So I fixed the problem!
It turned out to be a driver issue. I had to go to Wacom's legacy driver page and download the 6.3.5-3 version. Some people on other forums (Wacoms & Adobe forums mostly) warned that the older drivers causes some drawing lag, but I haven't found that to be the case yet.
Thanks for the help. TVPaint continues to be my favorite software!
