TVPaint Animation 11 changelogs (latest update 2024_10_02)

Post by Thierry »

Hello everyone !
TVPaint Animation 11's first update is finally here, bringing lots of bugfixes, and also some nice new little things :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What's new in TVPaint Animation 11.0.1 ?

General :
* An option has been added in the Preferennces panel (Display tab) regarding drag and dropping images in the timeline :
  • if unchecked, behavior will be the same as 10.5 : no pop-up will appear when drag and dropping.
  • if checked, behavior will be the same as 11.0.0 : a pop-up will appear when drag and dropping.
* An AntiAliasing option has been added when using the Out Of Pegs feature of the Light Table.
* Peg Holes have been added in the Light Table display (for OOP) for previous and next images/instances/...
* When extracting colors form a CTG Layer, resulting layers have the same opacity as the original CTG layer.
* A Contiguous option has been added to the paint bucket, selection: magic wand, cutting tool: magic wand (works like Photoshop), alongside with a Display checkbox in the selection: magic wand.
* The Break Instance option that was in TVPaint Animation 10's Animator Panel has been added to the Handy Panel (to have it, delete your Handy Panel, it will be recreated when you relaunch TVPaint).

FX Stack :
* A new FX has been added in the Color section : Scan Cleaner Color : it is similar to the Scan Cleaner, but works with colors ;)
Here's an example of what it does. Let's take this scanned image :
scan-cleaner-color-before.png
And let's open the FX Stack, select Scan Cleaner Color :
scan-cleaner-color-after.png
A few words about the parameters names. The names were quite difficult to choose as the mathematical formulas behind them are complicated, so here's what they do :
  • Stroke intensity : Sets the color intensity of the source image : the less the value, the harder the resulting colors will be.
  • Global transparency : Sets the global transparency.
  • Transparency profile : Lets you set the level of details to keep (it works the same way as the Scan Cleaner Black and White).
  • Post-processing : Sets the background color.
  • Background color : Choose the background color.
  • Saturate lines colors : All colors will have RGB components with a value of either 0 or 255.
The last three options (Post-processing) are useful for people that work with Retas in Japan.

As a consequence of this new FX, the old Scan Cleaner has been renamed into Scan Cleaner Black and White. The online documentation will be updated soon.

Shortcuts :
* It is now possible to assign keys to previous and next mark in the History Panel.

George :
* A command has been added to retrieve AND set H, S and L colors.
Example :

Code: Select all

tv_GetAPen ["rgb"|"hsl"]
tv_GetBPen ["rgb"|"hsl"]

@return r g b a ( if no parameter (compatible mode) )
@return "rgb" r g b ( if "rgb" parameter )
@return "hsl" h s l ( if "hsl" parameter )
@return "error"

tv_SetAPen r g b | r g b a | "rgb" r g b | "hsl" h s l
tv_SetBPen r g b | r g b a | "rgb" r g b | "hsl" h s l

@return previous values: "rgb" r g b ( if r g b (compatible mode) )
@return previous values: "rgb" r g b ( if r g b a (to be able to use GetAPen result as parameters) )
@return previous values: "rgb" r g b ( if "rgb" parameters )
@return previous values: "hsl" h s l ( if "hsl" parameters )
@return "error"
* A command has been added to render the camera to a new project : tv_projectrendercamera
Example :

Code: Select all

tv_projectrendercamera [id]
//@in id : storyboard id, or current storyboard if no parameter
//@return id : id of the created storyboard

TVPaint Animation 11.0.3 is available !

Post by Thierry »

Hello everyone !
The time has come for TVPaint Animation 11.0.3 to finally be released !
There are a LOT of changes in the 11.0.3, and one of the most important is that :

Projects saved with v11.0.3 using CTG layers will not be able to be (fully) read with previous versions of TVPaint Animation 11 !

In this release, we fixed a (very annoying) bug related to projects made in the Professional Edition that couldn't be opened in the Standard Edition.
Unfortunately, the fix broke the compatibility with previous versions of TVPaint Animation 11.

What's new in TVPaint 11.0.3 ?

General :
  • You can now change the pivot point of the Transform tool !
    Spoiler : Pivot point :

    Now, let's see the application, with the following parameters :
    parameters.PNG

    And let's color the part on the left of the blue border. Here is the result :
    result.png
    result.png (1.87 KiB) Viewed 202543 times
    You will notice that the blue border has been included when coloring.
    You can include several colors. Here, the blue and red colors :
    result2.png
    result2.png (1.51 KiB) Viewed 202500 times
    Here is another result if you add all three colors :
    result3.png
    result3.png (1.44 KiB) Viewed 202499 times
    This option is suited for non AntiAliased images.
  • Duplicate layers : it should indicate in the name which layer was duplicated (it shouldn't cause a problem in scripts, if that's the case, please report it !)

    • Settings of each view are now remembered.
  • New FX ! Antialiasing, based on SMAA : Enhanced Subpixel Morphological AntiAliasing.
    A small explanation of the parameters might be useful :
    • Intensity : defines the intensity of the AA application.
    • Edges detection accuracy : the higher the value, the more AntiAliased the drawing will be. It is based on the luma difference between 2 pixels. If they are sufficiently different then AA must be applied.
      If the value is 100%, all of the differences will be taken into account.
      If the value is 0%, nothing will happen.
    • Horizontal/Vertical Antialiasing : the maximum application distance of an AA in a direction. The higher the value, the wider the application area will be.
    • Diagonal Antialiasing : same as the previous one, but with diagonals.
    • Corner rounding : defines how much the corners will be antialiased.
      If the value is 100%, you will have rounded corners.
      If the value is 0%, you will have sharp corners.
    Exemple : before :
    Spoiler : FX AA before :

What was fixed and/or improved in TVPaint Animation 11.0.3 ?

General :
  • FFmpeg, video and sound :
    A lot of work has been done with FFmpeg. FFmpeg is the library which load/save video (qt/mov/...) files on Linux (32/64 bits) and on MacOSX-64.
    All the sound problems when using FFmpeg loading on Linux (32/64) and MacOSX-64 should now be fixed. FFmpeg now working on Windows (32/64) too !
    It is no longer possible to export in MP4 (FFmpeg), there's only MOV (compressed/lossless) in 64-bits.
    You read it right, you can export in .MOV with the 64-bits version of TVPaint Animation on all OS ! :)
  • The "Display" option present in the select tools has been kept only for the select flood, as they were unused (but displayed) in the other modes.
  • Rendering the Keyframer should no longer cause some frames to be missing.
  • Custom Brush : Stamp in place origin should now be stored when switching stylus pen.
  • Rotate when importing should now work in 180° and -180°.
  • A bug with new guidelines having wrong position has been fixed.
  • Selecting a tool with papers without being able to access papers directory should no longer cause a crash.
  • Recompute script in handy panel should now say : "Erase superfluous images without changing the timeline's length.".
  • Dragging selection / Make selection in the timeline should now stop at frame 0/1.
  • Shortcut F12 will no longer force full screen view (which has been renamed to Inlay mode in the "View" menu) before hiding/showing panels.
  • A memory leak issue has been fixed regarding the Library.
  • Dropping invalid files on Library should no longer cause an infinite warning.
  • Library contents should no longer change color from one OS to another.
  • Proxy stability have been improved.
  • Default values in Brush Spreading FX have been changed : Grid type is now on Hexagon (previously Square) and Dispersion is now 10 (previously 15).
  • Handy Panel : Set Exposure 1 2 3 4 now keep the selection. The old panel needs to be deleted and the software needs to be restarted to have the new version
  • If a project made in the Professional Edition is opened in the Standard Edition, loading will no more stop on the first CTG layer encoutered.
  • Copying layers between projects (with different sizes) should no longer cause a crash.
  • Copying CTG layers between projects of same size should no longer cause a crash.
  • Autosave now saves the project if the project's last MODIFICATION was too long ago (instead of if the last SAVE was too long ago)
  • Paint Bucket is no longer named Flood fill in the shortcuts
  • A rare crash happening when Cropping and closing projects has been fixed.
  • Long words are now splitted when exporting PDF.
  • Special characters (accents, japanese...) no longer cause an issue in layers name when switching from one OS to another.
  • CTG Layers : Extract colors no longer creates empty images for exposures.
  • Selecting and using big and long brushes should no longer cause a lag.
  • Using the FXBin popup with the AntiAliasing FX should no longer cause a crash.
  • [MacOSX] The cursor should no longer switch to an arrow !
  • [MacOSX] Applying the FX Stack with multple Keyframers should no longer cause a lag.
  • [MacOSX] Software stability has been improved.
  • [MacOSX_32] The checkbox for Stroke Animator in the Preferences panel should now be at the right position.
  • [MacOSX_64] The lag when drawing should now be fixed !
  • [MacOSX_64] Using Kanji/Katakana/Hiragana and unusual characters (^ or `) should no longer make the whole interface gray.
  • [Linux] Drag'n'dropping several files should now work correctly on Linux Mint.
  • [Linux] It is no longer possible to start several instances of TVPaint.
George :
  • The tv_GetAPen HSL command should no longer returns HSL values for the BPen color in some cases (and vice versa, tv_GetBPen HSL should no longer return HSL values for the APen color in some cases).
  • tv_GuildelineSnap and tv_GuidelineVisible should now work for index values.
  • When using tv_LayerDensity, the layer slider for opacity should now update.

Re: TVPaint Animation 11.0.6 is available !

Post by Thierry »

Hello everyone !

After a long wait, it's time to release TVPaint Animation 11.0.6, which should please a lot of Mac users !
You might ask "Why version 11.0.6 ? The last one was 11.0.3 !". The answer is simple: versions 11.0.4 and 11.0.5 were distributed to a handful of people, for very specific needs, and weren't worth releasing to the public.

What's new in TVPaint Animation 11.0.6 ?

General :
  • TVPaint Animation is know telling you when an update is available online!
  • New default project size is 1920*1080 instead of 1280*720 (with a new config).
  • [Windows]For Japanese versions of Windows, the IME (Input Method Editor) pop-up is now activated only in the textfields.
  • [Windows] High definition devices should no longer be blurry when display ratio is over 100%
George :
  • New George command to get camera positions: tv_CameraInterpolation iPosition
    It will help us to create a script to "export from TVPaint and import in After Effect", with camera moves, which will come in a future update.
    Spoiler : How to use tv_CameraInterpolation :

    Code: Select all

    ///	tv_camerainterpolation iPosition
    /**
    	Get the position/angle/scale values of the given position on the camera path

    	@return	string				"error"			Error: no parameter
    	@return	double double double double	oX oY oAngle oScale	The values of the given position

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What was fixed and/or improved in TVPaint Animation 11.0.6 ?

General:
  • [Windows] For users that have a Japanese version of Windows : you should now be able to correctly add text, without any pop-up getting in the way (this is related to the IME change mentionned above).
  • Japanese characters should be displayed correctly.
  • [Windows] Long file names should no longer cause a crash.
  • Blending modes should work with CTG layers.
  • Having a too long variable name in George should no longer cause a crash.
  • OoP: The HUD should now always be synchronized with the cursor during a move.
  • OoP: Using OoP on a single instance should no longer make the instance darker.
  • OoP: There shouldn't be any more lag with high dimension files, or big zoom ratio
  • FX Brush Spreading: Angle parameters are now working when Follow Shape isn't checked.
    Spoiler : More details :
    So now, here is how it works.
    [General tab]
    Angle and Diffusion angle are working together to the shape angles on which the brush is allowed to be spread.

    [Brush tab]
    Angle defines the base angle of the brush.
MacOSX:
  • Tutorial Recorder :
    Now works on the Standard Edition, but only on non-Retina displays.
    On Retina displays, now works correctly with the 64-bits version
  • A bug regarding the saving of the TVPaint window's coordinates has been fixed and the TVPaint window coordinates should no longer reset when switching from 64-bits to 32-bits (and vice-versa). Warning: the first time opening the 64-bits version may have a window located in the wrong place, that's normal: just resize your window as you wish, then restart the software.
  • The Text Brush tool should now display the text correctly.
  • The TVPaint window should no longer be reset after stretching the interface on another screen.
  • [64-bits only] There should no longer be any artifacts when moving panels on Retina displays ! That means that it's no longer be required to use "Low-resolution mode" when having a Retina display !
  • [64-bits only] Quitting while in Fullscreen mode should no longer cause a crash.
  • [64-bits only] There should no longer be any blank space under or above the drawing area when using fullscreen mode on Retina displays, when a non-Retina display is plugged in.

Re: TVPaint Animation 11.0.9 is available !

Post by Thierry »

Hello everyone!

After a long wait, TVPaint Animation 11.0.9 is ready to be released!

Here are the changes:

First of all, the Standard Edition is finally available in 64-bits, for Windows, Mac and Linux!.
This means that the previous technical restrictions are no more, and users of the Standard Edition will notice a boost in performance.

What's new in TVPaint Animation 11.0.9?

General:
  • Licence version (Standalone, Network) now appears in the window title.
  • Warp grid is now more accurate.
  • New Layer Blending Mode : Alpha Diff.
    It's the same as the Tools one. However, to make this blending mode work properly, you'll have to add a fully opaque layer in "Erase" blending mode at the very bottom of the layer stack.
  • Export PDF can now export only 1 clip per page.
  • When you create a custom panel from a palette, its name is used for the custom panel title.
  • '.tiff' is now always used as extension (instead of '.tif')
  • Added japanese and chinese localisation for storyboard export panel.
  • English and French translation for export panel storyboard: 1 clip per page.
macOS:
In preparation for the release of macOS 10.15 Catalina at the end of September, and the usual dongle drivers confusion that happens with each new version of macOS, we have redesigned the installer.
It now offers two dongle drivers: one that will work for Catalina, and one that will work for the previous versions of macOS:
dmg1109.png
Following feedback, we've also renamed the drivers names. Instead of "SentinelProtectionInstaller", they are now named "DongleDriver-PostCatalina" and "DongleDriver-PreCatalina".

JSON export:
  • Faux-fixe data is now exported.
  • A checkbox has been added to save all images, even duplicated ones.
  • A warning has been added to prevent spaces (begin/end) to layer name before export.
George
  • Add zoom management command

    Code: Select all

    tv_display "zoom" [iZoom]
    
    [DESCRIPTION]
    Manage the zoom value of the project view
    
    [PARAMETERS]
    "zoom"    string    The option to manage (added in 11.5.0)
    iZoom     double    The zoom value (1..10000) (added in 11.5.0)
    
    [RETURN]
    "zoom" oZoom
    
    "zoom"    string    The option
    oZoom     double    The previous/current value of the zoom
    

What was fixed and/or improved in TVPaint Animation 11.0.9?

General:
  • Fixed a crash that could happen when using "Recompute exposure with threshold".
  • Fix: slash missing in Recent Files on MacOS.
  • A bug with the Slate frame count has been fixed: no more "fluttering".
  • [macOS] TVPaint not undocked when opening a file on MacOS (64bits only).
  • "Recompute exposure with threshold" now computes a good diff value between 2 images.
  • Library objects are now in the right position when Interface scaling is 2 or 3.
  • Pop-ups should no longer be wider than the whole screen.
  • The "smart rename" option no longer has undesired results when there are several identical images.
  • Fix the undesired position change of an FX when the name of FX is modified with the double click (WARNING: previous project/clip with this option will have different order for the random repeated images, but ... random was (and is) wanted :])
  • Export PDF: the scene/clip position (x/X in top-left corner) is no longer truncated.
  • TVP file requester (browse) in export panel: if the previous used path is no more valid, display the file name instead of a part of the missing path.
  • Main panel: tools history: bottom-right arrow are always displayed now even for custom brush.
  • The pattern text field in TVP File Requester now works correctly.
'Jagged lines' issue:
While we haven't managed to entirely fix the issue, we've done work to greatly reduce the loss of data and lag while drawing.
So now, when drawing, it should look more like this:
points_1109.png
Instead of this:
points_1108.png
We are still working on fully getting rid of the bug, and will keep you updated.

George:
  • The tv_read/writeuserstring now manages correctly the last parameter (when there isn't any "", or multiple words...)
  • In the tv_ClipSaveStructure command (JSON export), parameter "patterFolder" has been changed into "patternFolder".
Standard Edition:
  • The option "Load a soundtrack" in the Project main menu has been removed, as the loaded soundtrack couldn't be accessed either way.
  • Removed references and calls to the squiggles, fixing a potential crash.
CTG Layers:
  • Scribbles names are now copied when duplicating projects.
  • CTG Layer now displays when "Display Current Layer" is active and the layer is inactive
  • Various bugs related to color changing have been fixed (color names when changing a color into another one for example...)
JSON Export:
  • A memory leak issue has been fixed within the JSON export.
  • JSON export will now correctly be able to export images in other format than PNG.

Re: TVPaint Animation 11.0.10 is available !

Post by Thierry »

Hello everyone!

Here is the first update of the year, bringing a few new things and a change of behaviour with the lag on macOS.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What's new in TVPaint Animation 11.0.10?

General
  • When resizing a project, you can now enter percentages. If you want your new project's size to be 80% of what it currently is, just enter 80 in the new field and that will do the trick:
    Spoiler : :
    modify_pr_1.PNG
    modify_pr_1.PNG (7.67 KiB) Viewed 138794 times
    modify_pr_2.PNG
    modify_pr_2.PNG (7.9 KiB) Viewed 138794 times
  • Preferences panel is now resizable, making it easier to read the paths for the multi-backup and temp directories
  • Missing dependences window now dynamically resize itself if the path of the missing dependency is too long
  • "Recent files" in the main menu has been separated in two: "Recent Imports" and "Recent Exports".
FX Stack
  • "Single FX" option has been removed.
  • When importing a preset in the FX Stack, its name is now displayed.
Guidelines
  • You can now lock guidelines when moving others.
  • A button has been added to the following Guides, that will no longer display the visual cue of the Assist tool, while keeping the Assist tool active: Line Angle, Segment, Circle, Ellipse, Vanishing Points 1-2-3 (with and without lines).
    assist-button.png
    assist-button.png (11.8 KiB) Viewed 138794 times
    This will help with the lag that can sometimes happen on macOS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What was fixed and/or improved in TVPaint Animation 11.0.10 ?

General
  • There should no longer be duplicated layer presets in the Shortcut panel.
  • The CTG Palette window now remember user choices (last chosen folder, size, position).
  • The lag happening with the Guidelines when the Assist tool is active should be less invasive.
macOS
  • The lag that appeared with version 11.0.9 should now be gone.
  • When the cursor changes (like after a system notification), moving the mouse will bring the previous cursor back.

Re: TVPaint Animation 11.5.0 is available !

Post by Thierry »

Hello everyone!
After a long wait, TVPaint Animation 11.5 is finally there!
This is a big stepping stone for us, as we are at last getting rid of the dongles!

What’s new in TVPaint Animation 11.5.0?

General:
  • The dongleless technology is finally here! Please visit this page for more details.
  • Users with the Safenet dongles will now see the software Edition in the title bar (STD for Standalone or NET for Network).
  • It is now possible to export in MP4 format (MPEG-4 & AAC) once again.
  • On a new configuration / clean install of the software, Multi back-up is now activated and its default value is set to 2.
  • New circle and ellipse drawing modes..
  • New selection mode by color : all the areas painted with the color will be selected
  • Updated FFmpeg to version 3.2.14.
  • Added a switch to allow precise tuning of the camera angle in the Multiplane Camera FX.
  • New option in the project menu to encapsulate the video dependencies on save. For consistency, renaming of the previous option that allows to encapsulate the audio dependencies on save.
  • New parameter to encourage embedding the dependencies into the project.
  • A button has been added in the Startup Panel, allowing you to open a file browser where the Configuration folder is stored.
  • A new option has been added to the JSON export, letting you export all your images in one folder, instead of having them separated in several ones.
  • Restored paper pencils from Tool Presets v1
macOS:
  • A checkbox has been added in the Preferences > General panel that can improve fluidity when drawing. It is activated by default, which will greatly reduce the lag and bring back the 11.0.8 behaviour.
Shortcuts:
  • A shortcut has been added to hide all panels (left, right, and bottom).
  • You should now be able to bind H and I with Ctrl/Cmd/Shift.

What was fixed and/or improved in TVPaint Animation 11.5.0?

General:
  • The Export panel now remembers if the “Background” parameter was checked or not in your previous export.
  • Updated project resolution templates when creating a new project.
  • Update the default selection mode to “replace” instead of “add”.

  • When an import fails, the software now displays an error message instead of doing nothing.
  • The “Import Audio” checkbox in the Import panel now correctly import audio.
  • When importing a file in a new project, the start frame setting is now remembered.
  • The “Incorrect sRGB profile” error message should no longer appear when importing PNG files.
  • Timeline notes now transfer to split clips.
  • The "Display XSheet" option is now correctly saved when restarting the software.
  • When the ‘Display Current Layer’ menu item is activated, the blending mode now disappears : it temporarily becomes ‘color' for all layers
  • When the ‘Display All Layers’ menu item is activated and the user exports a single layer, that is not using the ‘color’ blending mode: a warning message appears if the background checkbox is unticked, telling that the export result can be empty. This is a normal behaviour, but it can be surprising.

Known issues:
  • Some videos compressed with H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) can take a long time to import.
  • Some non-ASCII characters in Japanese, Chinese and Hebrew are not supported.

Re: TVPaint Animation 11.5.1 is available !

Post by Thierry »

Hello there!
TVPaint Animation 11.5.1 is now out!
This update mainly fixes issues brought with version 11.5.0, but we still added a few long-requested features.

Please note that the demo version is still on 11.5.0 and will be updated in a later date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What’s new in TVPaint Animation 11.5.1?

General:
  • You can now set a notification sound to play once an export is completed. This option is disabled by default and can be activated in the Sound tab of the Preferences panel.
  • New options have been added to the Preferences> General panel, regarding software behaviour when swapping the stylus:
    • By default, when the Eraser is activated, you switch to the “Erase” mode.
    • The other option activates the Eraser tool (freehand).
    • When both options are unchecked, you can have a new brush when “swapping” the pen. This brush can either be used to draw, erase, or be a custom brush.
  • It is now possible to change/reverse the layers' order in the Timeline.
  • In the “Image” main menu, the “Scan Cleaner” option has been divided in two:
    • Scan Cleaner “soft”: same as the previous “Scan Cleaner” option.
    • Scan Cleaner “stronger”: keep borders.
Export:
  • In the export panel, the complete project is now selected by default, unless if the "whole project" checkbox is not checked.
  • When exporting, if frames are selected in the project then the markin and markout are set to to the same values.
  • A checkbox has been added to allow the JSON export to proceed without (re)generating the JSON file. This will be replaced by a fully-fledged PNG export layer structure in a future update.
Shortcuts:
  • A keyboard shortcut has been added to rename the current clip.
  • New keyboard shortcuts have been added to change/ reverse the order of the layers in the timeline.
  • A shortcut has been added to quickly close/unclose all the drawers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What was fixed and/or improved in TVPaint Animation 11.5.1?

General:
  • The dongleless version of the software should no longer display an error message when opening a project file or script from the explorer while TVPaint is already running.
  • The anti-aliasing brush checkbox in the Selection panel has been restored.
  • Project default framerate has been restored to 24 img/sec.
  • The software should no longer crash when restarting while drawers are disabled.
  • When splitting a clip, the two resulting clips should once again start at zero.
  • 2-points Ellipses no longer have angles.
  • Handy Panel delete button(s) should once again work correctly.
  • Updated scan cleaner color transparency profile, to preserve the colors.
  • Updated tool preview to improve the drawing visibility.
  • Added data checks to prevent situations (some of them) that could lead to a crash at save.

Preferences/Configuration:
  • Projects settings (resolution, framerate) are saved so that they can be reused for the next project
  • Selection tool settings are now saved in the preferences
  • The background checkbox value is now remembered in the settings when TVPaint is closed.
  • A duplicated layer will now keep the same color as its source (requires user config update/reset)
  • The Anim Layer default preset is now set to Hold (requires user config update/reset)
OS Specific issues:
  • [MacOS] The “Cannot open tvpaint-clipboard-tmp.xxx” messages should no longer appear.
  • [Windows] The missing MP4 (lossless PNG) export option is once again available.
  • [Windows] Issues related to file size with the Multi backup have been fixed.
  • [Windows] The software should no longer ask for a new filename when saving an already existing project.
  • [Windows] Multi-backup should once again work correctly when project size is higher than 2 Gb.


Known issues:
  • Some videos compressed with H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) can take a long time to import. We will take a look at this for version 11.5.2
  • Some non-ASCII characters in Japanese, Chinese and Hebrew are not supported.

Re: TVPaint Animation 11 changelogs (latest update 2024_03_26)

Post by Thierry »

Hello everyone,

TVPaint Animation 11.7.3 is now available. This update fixes bugs and improves control over the layer structure export parameters.
Please note that due to technical, there is no Linux build available for v11.7.3. Once those issues are solved, we'll release a Linux build.

What has been fixed and/or improved in TVPaint Animation 11.7.3?

General
  • Brush profile curves are now correctly saved and loaded upon change.
  • Replaced the "Export all" and "Ignore Duplicate Images" options in the export panel with single export parameters. There is now:
    • one checkbox for "Empty images" (turned on by default)
    • one checkbox for "Duplicated images" (turned on by default)
    • one checkbox for "Exposure cells" (turned off by default)
  • Fixed an issue where contextual menus would close themselves upon opening.
Sound
  • m4a files can be imported once again.
  • Audio files playback no longer cuts off before the end of the animation / track.
  • Fixed a crash that was happening when importing FLAC files.
macOS
  • There should no longer be parasite noise when playing audio tracks.
  • Brush no longer stays in "Eraser" mode after switching back from the eraser end of the Wacom stylus.
