The Galaxy is not forgotten. I actually draw everyday. I just don't always post.

Rethinking Paragon... I often wondered why I didn't want to draw it. Because it wasn't mine.

The wars are not yet over. I am finding my stride on the Galaxy. I believe I am close....

I feel I am about ready. It is time to think about getting things into motion again.

Some more painting attempts on the Galaxy Note. I need to practice more....

More galaxy painting. I really love the power of TVPaint...

Wonderful work, Terrence!

I assume this is a RAM issue, but just how many TVP frames can your Galaxy Note play back? Could you animate a scene that lasts 100 frames? More? 500 frames?

I just checked the Galaxy specs. Does your Galaxy Note have 16 gig of RAM?

Instead of using it for sketching and paint like you do, I am interested in using one for rough animation.

Thanks for all of your posts! You've been an inspiration to me for many years.

I am not quite sure what you mean by playback. Do you mean the preview. I set the preview to a proxy at 20% quality and I have no issues with playing back anything I do. As far as the length of projects, this short animation was done entirely in one project file on the tablet:

Short animation in one project

As was this one:

Another short animation

I had a screen capture project that was over an hour long once. That did crash though.

The Galaxy Note 10.1 has 2GB of RAM. I have two SD Cards, one internal at 16GB and one external at 64GB.

Terrence:

Thanks for the reply! By "playback," what I mean is, how many many frames can you work on at once?

If I were to animate using the Galaxy Note with TVP 10, would I be able to animate a 100 frame scene with a different drawing every other frame? How about 200 frames?

I would think that 2 gig of ram is sufficient, but thought I'd ask.

I animate on 2's, so I have a different drawing on every other frame. Which eats up memory. Your style is much more efficient.

Any help or perspective you can give is always appreciated.

Well, I have worked with hundreds of frames of HD video, shot on the tablet and brought into TVPaint with no problem. I haven't tested a limit yet. I think as long as you have enough space on your SD card for the temp file, you should never run into any issues.

Thanks Terence!

I really should have kept up with this thread. I still draw a lot on the same tablet.
