Re: Offering free TVPaint help

Chad,
Someday, some one will write the definitive TVPaint Handbook... I'd buy it. Meanwhile, your offer of free assistance is very generous.

I think the (Japanese language only) TVPaint book you refer to is available on Amazon, from Hironori Takagi, who posts here, regularly...

Re: Offering free TVPaint help

Caution: After a Google Search which first linked me to the Amazon listing, I clicked on a link to a site offering a free .PDF download of the TVPaint Handbook: The Publishing date listed there (15 Aug 2019) made me think this might have been a 4 year old, early manuscript previously offered to TVP...

Re: Simple MarkIn MarkOut Custom Button

@Dean,

I'm still hoping a more refined version of the MarkIn/MarkOut button makes it into (and becomes a permanent resident of) the TVPaint Application. :D

Here is a link to an historically interesting (and free) resource that I only just stumbled across... and thought it was worth sharing. The Animations and Cartoons Collection from the Wayback Machine's Internet Archives The Wayback Machine Internet Archives , itself is a staggeringly large, online r...

Re: how to save custom 3 Pts Spline tool?

You should not insert the line as a "Command". Remove that line.
Instead, insert a "key" by selecting Set KeyStroke, then choose "Shape:Spline 3Pts".
Then save.

This should now use whatever tool is set by line 0 and let you draw that as a 3 point spline line.

Re: Anaglyph 3d via George?

Yes, My clip-on, flip-up Anaglyph Milisten lenses came overnight from Amazon, $5.00 for three sets. Pretty good quality and the color of the lenses seem almost perfect. Your drawing works quite well for me. Using a warp effect on the object volume is something I never considered. It suggests to me t...

Re: Anaglyph 3d via George?

The anaglyph clip-on lenses I ordered yesterday arrived, so I decided to experiment with a simple, manually-assembled test to see if I could isolate some of the basic issues before attempting to automate the 3D process. I started with a simple drawing of a white, donut-shaped object outlined in blac...

Re: Anaglyph 3d via George?

cool idea. At first glance it would seem easiest for the artist to draw original frame's content by placing different Z dimensional, depth object/elements on different layers, then automating the separation process in which each layer would be individually redrawn, based on a list of numbers represe...

Re: Android Panel icons missing

K. When Android upgraded from version 10 to 11 (back in 2021) I made the mistake of upgrading which caused problems with TVPaint Android on my Samsung TAB (S7+). I was advised that reverting back to android 10 was possible but might void my guarantee. I decided to stay with version 11 and after seve...

Re: spliting a project

It looks like a script could be built around a project consisting of n number of clips which would directly save each clip out as a named project, looping the "tv_ProjectSaveSequence" command after retrieving each clip name (concatenated as part of the path) using the relative beginning fr...
