A way to know if an instance is empty?

I searched on the forum but haven't found it.

Is there a way to know if an instance is empty with george?

EDIT : Ok, found a way using a cutbrush, thanks Svengali : http://forum.tvpaint.com/viewtopic.php? ... box#p73598" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Another strategy (probably faster and perhaps easier to incorporate in a looping test of all Instances on a layer) is to write a script around the following:

tv_layercompareimage LayerID1 ImagePosition1 LayerID2 ImagePosition2 //compares two specific layer/images to discover "sameness"

Which compares the Instance in question with a known blank Instance.

Thanks!

When using image mark panel, you can assign a colour for empty instances.

But i can't automatically asign an image mark to all empty instances, right? I have to detect which instance is empty before that.

Yes it does !

Haha awesome thanks. Never saw that
Is it available for keystrokes or George?

[Elodie]

I don't know :s

I don't think it exists in George.
And there's no shortcuts for this too.

Feature request ? :p

I would prefer a simple "is empty" George comand (maybe related to the get bounding box request from MJ) rather than using image marks
I don't often need to mark every empty instance with a color (I would Irefer to MARK all used instances with a color in fact). I use image marks for a lot of other specific things when I animate.

So you want me to create another topic specifically for this keystroke request?
