Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Hello,

I tried to make a button (in a custom panel) to select the transform tool with defined AAliasing setting. I would like to have a one-click-solution to get the transform tool activated with "best" AAliasing regardless of wich setting I used last time. I failed, but hoping, someone here have an idea, how to do. Maybe a george-command helps, but unfortunately I am not firm with that.

Thanks from Animark

Hmm, not sure it's possible. Did you try the AAliasing "smart" ?

In which version of TVPaint was "smart" introduced? I am here at work on 10.0.7, at home I am on 10.0.11. I cannot find "smart" here but think, I've seen it before !?! What is "smart" doing?

Ah OK, I've found Elodies Posting. "Smart" is introduced in Version 10.0.9. But I don't get an idea of what it does exactly.

TVPaint Animation 10.0.9 is available !

-New Antialiasing mode in the position tool: smart ( none for translation, best for rotation and stretch )
-Antialising Best: no more rigging in the alpha channel.

To my knowledge 10.0.9 is the most recent version. Or are you on the beta team?

No, I am not a beta-tester. I just use the update function from time to time, like last saturday . But I didn't found any information in the forum about what has changed or has been improved.

Have you come across any problems?

My understanding is the SMART smoothing mode looks at your cutbrush and decides between NONE or BEST for pasting based on whether it has been rotated/scaled or not. If it has NOT been rotated/scaled (simply translated to a new location) then no smoothing is necessary (NONE). If it has been rotated/scaled, I think the smoothing automatically applies BEST.

The SMART setting simply means that the paste operation is smart enough to know which smoothing should be used. Aliasing only occurs during interpolation of a rotated/scaled cutbrush. In fact, if BEST is applied to a cutbrush which hasn't been rotated or scaled, BEST smoothing will degrade the pasted version of your cutbrush.

Actually I guess SMART mode should also detect if the cutbrush rotation was exactly 90, 180 or 270 because in those cases, there should be no aliasing as well.

By the way, earlier I tried to write a button that would let you set and keep the smoothing mode you wanted for pasting but it seemed to always be overridden and default to SMART.

Then of course I might be totally wrong on all this.

Hi Paul, no problems, but I only fiddled around for an hour or so. I haven't used TVPaint very much since the last update.

Hi Sven, thanks a lot for the detailed description. No I know how smart "Smart" is .

I confirm, the latest released version is 10.0.11

Are there any specific details on version 10.0.11 and what has been changed and/or added? Bug fixes or are there other functionality updates as well?

Sven

mostly bug fix (bug for network version for schools and studios, bug on brush rotate, etc ...).
I might be wrong but there is no new option. (even if some are under development nowadays)
