put layers on center of canvas

[Zetariver]

Hello. I want to put layers on center of canvas like this video.

As you can see, all layers are placed differently,circle A is on x 100 y 200, circle B is on x 200 y 250,circle C is on x 300 y 0, etc.
So I need to check positions of all layers If I use keyframer.Seems It's not a best solution.
What is the best way to do that in TVPaint?

Hmmm, looks like we do not have such a feature to do it easily.

I move your topic in Feature request

[Zetariver]

OK. I will move them manually.

[Elodie]

Yes, sorry :/

I am not sure but if you import a png sequence all the pngs are aligned to the center of the canvas. So maybe if you have all circles as separate pngs you can import them into the project.

[Elodie]

It would work only if the circles were orignally a image sequence.

If they were drawn in TVPaint, it's then more complex.

This might do what you want:

Create a new action in a custom panel, then cut and paste this script into the embed George script command.

Code: Select all

    Param none
    ScriptName = "CenterAllLayers"

    tv_GetWidth
    Width = result
    CenterX = Width / 2 
    tv_GetHeight
    Height = result
    CenterY = Height / 2

    tv_LayerCurrentID
    OriginalLayer = result
    tv_LayerGetImage
    OriginalImage = result

    Counter = 0
    LayerID = ""
    For Counter = 0 to 1000
       tv_LayerGetID Counter
       LayerID = result
    //   tv_warn "counter = " Counter " layerid = " LayerID
 
       ExitFlag = CMP(LayerID,"none")
       IF ExitFlag == 1
          EXIT
       ELSE
          tv_LayerSet LayerID
          tv_BrushCut 0 0 Width Height 1 0
          tv_BrushRestore Reset 1 Optimize 1
          tv_Dot CenterX CenterY 0
       END
    END
    tv_LayerSet OriginalLayer
    tv_LayerImage OriginalImage

Hmmm, I probably missed something because I can't use your script Svengali

I just tried it and it seems to work. What do you get when you try it?

I confirm the script is working

Sorry for my ridiculously late reply.
Your script works greatly. Thank you Svengali . I will use it.
