Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

But is the sum of the parts worth the whole? It's almost as if the two films will always have to be shown together, to make an impression, otherwise most people would not have even noticed what went into it and might shrug the film off as a little saccharine Christmas short without much of a story....

Reminds me of the Fleischer setup for some of their animated films, like "Popeye the Sailor Meets Sinbad the Sailor".

I tried using the XSheet a while ago, just to see how it works... it's not worth the effort, really. I think it's just a legacy feature that is still there for sentimental reasons. You can do so much more on the timeline view.

For my current project I have done extensive research on the steam engine period (2nd half of 19th century and Edison's heyday). Most people have no idea how prevalent a device that used to be, powering office machines. bicycles (the most famous brand was the Roper) but my most favorite surprise wa...

Oh my, this pneumatic Mac gets really noisy when I'm applying an FX stack

Electricity can be steampunk... it would be powered by Tesla coils and steam engines.

Actually, it's Edison's electric pen

I'd be happy if it dispensed beer for me also, save me a trip to the basement.

Old Mirage files open for me, too, just by double-clicking or opening from File menu (on Linux even, with files that had been created on Windows version of Mirage)

No... but slowtiger I think seemed to get the gist of it, I think

You can't save or export from the demo, and there is a watermark when you playback your project. Otherwise it's fully functional, as far as I know

Tell me how you would do photo retouching with a vector tool? You can't... you need to manipulate the pixels directly.

I suggest you go through some of the video tutorials on inking and coloring: http://www.tvpaint.com/v2/content/article/support/tutorial.php?list_tags=tvp9" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://www.tvpaint.com/v2/content/article/support/tutorial.php?list_tags=tvp10" onc...

I don't know of any raster graphics application that does what you want. TVPaint is not 3D software nor is it object-oriented/vector software like ToonBoom, Illustrator, SynFig or whatever. If you want your stroked outline and filled color to be separate, you would put them on separate layers (you c...
