Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Frank is a well-known participant over at the Anime Studio (formerly Moho ) forum. And he's achieving more than most of the guys with an established animation background who, in my opinion, get lost ofer technical trickery in their attempt to fully automate the animation process ... The software Ani...

My friend has a problem with her Cintiq 21 on her iMac. If she sets up a 2-monitor-system, one of the screens always is distorted. The Cintiq is 1600 x 1200, the iMac ideally should be 1920 x 1200. Graphic card is an Nvidia Gforce 7600 GT. Does anybody know the trick to get an undistorted image on b...

A friend of mine is in a fix now: her PPC just broke (mainboard, no recovery poossible). So she wants to use her Mirage on an iMac (Intel) with Bootcamp.

My question is: will the Unlock Code of her Mac version work as well with the PC installation?

The trick is to have 2 projects open simultaneously: one is your project with your standard size. The other is bigger and contains just the background. Now if you use the FX stack, namely the keyframer, you choose that second project as source under the "render" tab.

My code just arrived as well. Funny thing is that I have to advise another filmmaker how to set up a project not in TVP, but in ToonBoom Harmony which is not the best choice for the intended style. It would be so easy to do in TVP, but it will be quite complicated in ToonBoom, mostly because of the ...

Made my day, thx!

Tantalus: Good news! I figured it couldn't be such a big deal to incorporate this. (BTW Photoshop sneaked this in over the last versions. They also changed their airbrush to the same effect. This is kind of a full circle: the drawing tools in v4 acted very "painterly", then from v5 on in w...

Just did a little test. The first image is a 10% reduction of an 1920 x 1080 image with a very flat gradient (#3366ff to #3399ff) from top left to bottom right. I did it once in Photoshop CS3 and once in TVP, using the exact same colours. sky1.png The second image is an enlargement of a detail, show...

You will not have any problem with an area which is of one uniform colour. Problems could only occur with very flat gradients, that is, something like from dark blue to a bit not so dark blue, but over the entire width of frame. I've also noticed (in doing print jobs) that a not-quite-so-accurate re...

767: I'd figured out that much as well. The least result I expect would be that the 8bit/channel images I can render (in TVP or else) are converted the best possile way into that other color space. From my experience with printing etc I don't expect much problems in image quality within the style of...

I will, once I've got the version 9 which I've just ordered.

I wonder if anybody already has experience in creating a DigitalCinema Package (DCP) from a TVP project. I'm researching about digital cinema recently, especially to collect knowledge about what to do, where to search, and how much to pay. Right now I'm delving in technicval specs a lot. In a docume...

It is a good idea to first make a sketch of what it looks like and how it should look like in the end.

Ah, but trying to render with the H.264 codec results in only one frame, or an empty file! (Mac OS 10.4) Rendering from TVP doesn't work with this codec, I assume because the codec re-arranges some frames, and this doesn't work if future frames aren't rendered yet. Rendering H.264 from video sources...

First: the multiplane tool is great. The concept was familiar to me since AnimeStudio uses the same approach, more or less. And the "wizard" is nice. Slick piece of software. However, I'm curious about how others create this effect. What I do is this: First I draw all the layers I need, an...
