Add custom texture?

Post by Robpoke »

Is it possible to add your own textures to TVPaint? I have a few paper textures that I would like to use in a project.

Is there a folder where I can drop my textures and in what format does the texture need to be in?

And happy new year!

Format must be .dip, you save that out of TVP.

Path is "Applications/TVPaint Animation/Contents/Resources/Papers" on Mac.

Please note that each time you upgrade TVP you have to add your own papers by hand again.
TVP 10.0.18 and 11.0 MacPro Quadcore 3GHz 16GB OS 10.6.8 Quicktime 7.6.6
TVP 11.0 and 11.7 MacPro 12core 3GHz 32GB OS 10.11 Quicktime 10.7.3
TVP 11.7 Mac Mini M2pro 32GB OS 13.5

Thank you slow tiger! And thanks again for the tip, I'll make sure to save backups of the textures.

just to complete, for windows OS, the path is :
C:\Program Files\TVPaint Developpement\TVP Animation 10 Pro\papers\

I would add that any "tileable" geyscale image in PNG format should work fine as well.
