Among all the new features available, we may already mention :


     *The project tab becomes a storyboard tool : Now with TVP Animation 9.5, you can easily create a storyboard. This storyboard may be animated, printed, exported... A great new feature to make easier the animation workflow.

     *The camera tool : A new tool is available into the Main panel. Thanks to this camera, you can quickly create camera movements for your animatics.

     *The smear mode : Get down and dirty with the Smear Mode! Your brush colors will mix with the colors of other brush strokes that it comes in contact with. For example : red + green = brown.

     *The new transform tool : The position tool has been improved a lot, in order to move an image, a selection or a mask with your keyboard.

     *The peg holes tracker : That new function is pretty excellent for traditionnal animators. Thanks to this new option, scanned sheets can be ligned up quickly and easily.

     *Some panels have changed : The Main panel, the Animator panel et and the Tool bin have changed to be more understable for new TVP users.

Only the big red father is missing (even though... Hervé wears a red shirt today... Maybe it is a sign ! )

Klaus => thanks for this =)

It's also possible to download the update here !

So this issue occured after installing the new version:

"The application could not be initialized (....)"
Then TVP crashed !

--it's the 951 mir - version.

Try to update the sentinel driver.

What a great way to start out the day!

Hervé wrote:Try to update the sentinel driver.

Well the TVP - update came with an additional Sentinel installer which I used.

ok. Thanks for the link. I'll try it.

Problem still exists.

Cleaned the Sentinal Drivers up with their Cleaning-Tool and reinstalled the newest Sentinel Driver version. Still same message and crash.
Other applications using the Sentinental Driver working fine.
(Win XP)

This crash appear only with "mirage" superpro dongle.
Can you check if your XP is uptodate ?

I am running XP with BootCamp on a Mac and updating XP on BootCamp doesn't work. Also I don't want to reinstall everything and configurate again from the scratch this would take hours or days.
Is there another workaround ?

@Elodie :
a) the link "What's new on TVP Animation 9.5" should bring the english version of the page, not the french one,
b) in the french version http://www.tvpaint.com/v2/content/artic ... atsnew.php, dans Outil de Story-board, il y a un doublon :

Comme les projets sont maintenant hierarchisés, le mode export se voit lui-même modifié : vous avez le choix entre exporter une animation (un clip) ou le projet en entier (ainsi que les brosses personnalisées, comme c'était déjà le cas avant).

ceci est écrit 2 fois, avant et aprés l'image d'illustration. une fois devrait suffire.

It's a known bug of BootCamp, XP-Service pack 3 won't install because of "lack of hardspace, which is only 4 MB" (standard message). Maybe you got a newer BootCamp - version. But if I want to update my BootCamp I would have to make everything new of course. Which I would rather avoid in the middle of a project.

I'll send you pm.
