Smart Objects

[schwarzgrau]

Yesterday I watched Pear Cider and Cigarettes from Robert Valley, which he animated using Photoshop. I also bought his Animation Photoshop Tutorials in which he explains how he uses Photoshop to animate. Basically he uses smart objects and distort them using keyframes. For a lot of stuff this method could be pretty handy.
I know stuff like smart objects won't be possible with the current architecture of TVPaint, but I thought I should mention this now, so it could be considered for the next architecture.

Thanks for sharing, we will glance at it !

But don't worry, we already plan something similar in the next core.

Uuuh sounds exciting. Thank you for telling me this and I'm glad something similar is already in the planning.

Hello hello — curious about this as well. Is this something that's still being explored / possibly on its way to a future release of TVPaint? I've been using a similar workflow in Clip Studio Paint but still prefer to animate in TVPaint for a few reasons.
