Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

and i just remembered another great coloring tip...(TVPaint has so many functionalities if i don't use them regularly i tend to forget them!) its called Autopickcolor and it will help you further speed up the coloring process! see video: 2023-07-17 19-27-58.mkv i noticed obs did not record the layer...

https://youtu.be/FVBTdtT42eM good news... those are perfectly neat lines! With this line quality, using the method i described, coloring the whole animation white can be done in mere seconds. Not exaggerating! Then use alpha lock on he white layer and color there. Or... if you want to keep the whit...

i always teach this somewhat counterintuitive inverse way... its a quick and dirty way to color your anim in a single color as slowtiger tipped above.: - Create a layer under your rough anim - Fill the first instance completely (Using filled rectangle for instance) - Stretch instance to length of th...

I agree! although i'm a veteran user i still won't be able to count the number of times i start on the wrong layer! an easy system to limit colors to a specific layer would be an invaluable improvement for tvpaint. it could either be combined with the sketchpanel or with the layer presets manager. a...

I think you should be able to create a custom panel with custombrushes that will do this. so say: if you select the blue toolbrush it will jump to the "blue" layer. (either "blue" as a name (layer ID) or perhaps a layergroup) But i don't think it can be done without some scriptin...

What does the process involve?... colorsource.png choosing above allows you to color on an empty layer below your line drawing. if you also set an expand the color will nicely fold under the lines. the advantage is that lines and coloring won't be destructively merged (meaning: its much easier to r...

Pardon me, certainly no expert here, and may have misunderstood your question? If so, my mistake. Might a work around be, If you have drawn the lines on one layer,, then make a copy of that layer ( call it Lines copy), Use the original to fill the colour areas as required, Switch to the lines copy ...

You can always adjust the fill tool's expand to your taste. Trick: it still works with the line layer above set to 0% opacity ... Another approach might be to animate the fills directly, without outlines. My friend Anita Bruneburg uses the shape tool for this, see examples: https://twitter.com/brun...

How to best achieve a lineless animation look Years ago our valued friend Nathan posted an issue that i can't remember being solved. In this thread :https://forum.tvpaint.com/viewtopic.php?p=86795#p86795 Was this solution ever implemented? so to recap the issue with the Color/Expand FX (FXstack) you...

Hi Nathan,

Sharing this with my students, wanted to say thanks for this powerfull tool!

It looks like this show was still missing from the "made with TVPaint" section. I tried to add it to the Wikipedia article on TVPaint Animation, but there is no way to add the necessary citation because I can't find any interviews with Joost or articles about Cartoon Box where it is menti...

I wasn't aware that Cartoon Box wasn't present in the "Made with TVP" section of the forum, as I am so used to see it pop on my Youtube subcription feed. Thank you Peter for correcting this! Your welcome. Its made by Joost Lieuwma username on the forum "Joost" he often posts her...

It looks like this show was still missing from the "made with TVPaint" section. Undeservedly so... as it must be one of the most viewed TVPaint productions out there. The Youtube channel has almost 8 million subscribers and the series has racked up over two billion views! An amazing achiev...

Yes, i was thinking the same; could not some of these project management type tasks be relegated to the converter.

is there a way to save all opened projects easily? Is there a way to close projects simply? i think i recall we used to have all openend projects visible as a list under windows. Screenshot 2023-06-07 155253.png this is not particularly pretty or handy. neither is this: Screenshot 2023-06-07 155823....
