Boardomatic PRO

[masterchief]

I have Boardomatic PRO.. series of GRG scripts for creating storyboards.. can its use and adaptability to TVPaint PRO be shared and discussed openly here at these forums.. I would surely like to get it up and running.

regards,
William

Is that the thing that Bauhaus developed? I think it's still technically Bauhaus software and supported by them (or whatever is left of them)

[masterchief]

yes.. you are correct.

There has been no response from TVPaint about this yet. the makers of boardomatic have closed down their website...
Boardomatic is but a collection of GRG scripts to interact with Mirage and TVPaint.. both of which are owned by TVPaint. GRG scripting technology developed and OWNED by TVPaint.

I can convert it over myself probably but there are some conflicts with coordinates for configuration screens...

or is this something that is eventually going to find its way into the Creativity Pak????

GRG scripts rely upon includes referring to element\include\basic.grg .... basic.grg belong to TVPaint or what?????
from I can conclude is that the Boardomatic scripts rely upon standard scripting that installs with Mirage/TVPaint, OWNED by TVPaint

tvpaint... wake up?

I'd like to get it to work, otherwise I have to go back into Mirage to use it

Hi William (Halo's fan ? )

Sorry for answering you so late. That's right, we've got a very long week-end

So, about Boardomatic... Boardomatic was owned by the late Bauhaus. We don't have rights to modify it. For more details, please contact Hervé, he would better explain the situation than me =)

Hi William (Halo's fan ? )

I am a navy MASTERCHIEF(retired)... the REAL DEAL.. although my professional specialty was steam propulsion engineering.

There are two flavors of Boardomatic.. the PRO version, and the FREE version. BOTH are based solely upon GRG scripting, not compiled DLL plugins. GRG scripting technology has always belonged to TVPaint, correct?

Hi William,
All Scripts in the mirage installation are owned by TVPaint, feel free to copy the element folder to george folder to use it with TVPA.
I never installed or tested boardomatic on my computer, the only think that I can say is that BOM can run on TVPA with some change of the scripts files name and modifying some lines of the scripts. Not rocket science.

You can have technical speak here but don't post BOM code, but I can say to you that will be unnecessary soon.

[idragosani]

I've tried running BOM in TVP but didn't have much success.

To be honest, I was never very impressed with BOM, it's clumsy and convoluted and the former Bauhaus tech support guy even admitted this much. It's easier to do storyboarding with something like CeltX or the old fashioned way, with paper and pencil

BOM = Bloody Obsolete Machinery ...
what a teaser, isn't it ?

[masterchief]

I tried converting the GRG scripts, but find writing to specific screen coordinates not efficient with TVPaint.
