Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

... I am unable to view it as I make the adjustments... thats why i always use the keyboard shortcuts for my 'free transform' actions Z for scaling X for horizontal flipping Y for vertical fliping and C for rotating Thank you . That is helpful and it works better . I'm still puzzled about why it's ...

There is many ways to do it. One way : - Select the "Magic Wand CustomBrush" and cut the hand - You will have the hand as a custombrush. So you can rotate, scale and redraw it wherever you want. I have tried this , but am having difficulty with this technique used to "free transform&...

very useful tips, D.T. Nethery . unfortunately i cannot see the attached pictures :? I've noticed that none of the images on the forum show up unless one is logged-in under one's user name . Try logging-in to see if the pictures show up. If not I can try to email them to you . I also posted the ima...

You then have the option of coloring some of the lines a different color from black if you want to by using the Add function in the pen tool . Great post David! What you mean by using the add function? I tried it and it colored more than just the line or I try to say it worked just like a normal pe...

... and do your clean up on a new layer . well, what's the benefit to draw on a new layer? as you may know, the Sketch Panel allows the user to work on the same layer, from the rough (blue) to the clean (black). Sometime I will clean up on the same layer and then drop-out the blue or red underdrawi...

cintiq or Intuos ?

Original size is Film 2K Academy , 1828 x 1332 .

Drawn on Wacom Cintiq tablet.

further drawings illustrating "smooth" clean up lines, continued from my last post .

For making smooth lines (like traditional animation tight pencils or "inked" line) make sure you work at the highest resolution possible and do your clean up on a new layer . I've attached images of a demonstration using a quick little sketch of a cartoony cat's head . I usually start with...

Thank you ZigOtto. Unfortunately , I just now came to understand that the external plug-ins feature in Mirage 1.5 is *PC only. The company where I used to work had Mirage on both PC and Mac computers. I have a Mac at my home. I wanted to use Mirage 1.5 at home for my own projects , but I found out l...

Forgive another "newbie" question:

In Mirage 1.5 (which I own, but can't use on my new Intel Mac) there is a menu for using external Plug-Ins

Where is the equivalent in TVPaint ? How can I load external filter Plug-Ins , such as Photoshop plug-ins , in TVPaint ?

Thanks, Herve.

Re-installing fixed the problem.

I'm having trouble with the Tool Bin that came with TVPaint (the custom Tool .bin file that had a number of custom brushes from various users pre-loaded) . When I open Tool Bin and try to select one of the brushes TVPaint will crash immediately. It did not always do this . When I first had TVPaint I...

I found the link to this piece on the ThinkingAnimation blog: http://www.moosemouse.com/santadance.htm This is by Shawn McInerney. On ThinkingAnimation it says he animated with TVPaint, then inked & painted using ToonBoom. I don't know why he did not use TVPaint to do the Ink & Paint except ...

* The drag and drop feature already exists in the XSheet. (read the user-manual for more informations about this) Hello, I think perhaps I have a different understanding of the concept of "Drag and Drop" . If I used an application which has a traditional style animation Exposure sheet, su...

Thank you, Herve !
