Export with higher res than 72 dpi planned for next version?
Posted: 19 Aug 2006, 18:07
Hello, I still ask the same question. But, I work in HDTV and things are getting more difficult. I want to treat the created images in an external compositing application and sometimes I decide to add somme truck ins which weren't planned. That's why when working in the traditionnal way on paper I allways scan with a higher resolution and a bigger image size than really needed. Knowing that all images exported from TVPaint will have the resolution of 72dpi I'll choose a bigger image size in order to compensate this.
But if I want to work in 1920x1080 and I if want to get images with at least 100dpi the project will have to have a size of about 2880x1620pixels (1,5 x 72dpi = 108dpi and 1,5 x 1920x1080p = 2880x1620p). That's not a problem yet. But when drawing at this size I'll have to unzoom until 33% (I've a 19 inch screen). And this pixelates the image quiet strongly, so I can't draw properly. I know that it is not possible at the moment. But I would really like to have the possibility to draw in my 1920x1080p project with a zoom of 75% (that's ok, the image doesn't pixelate to much and it fits to my screen) and to export it with a higher resolution than 72 dpi.
It's not practic to animate in TVPaint and to clean in Photoshop to get images with a higher res. Doing this would be really regrettable because one would loose the advantageous features of TVPaint.
Do you think that it could be feasible in a future version of TVPaint?
For example: at the beginning, when the user is creating a new project, you could ask him with which resolution he will want to export the images later. Like this the software will keep in mind the needed supplamentary information. And the Animation will become just as heavy as needed.
I would really find that usefull.
Or is TVPaint conceived to remain a tool for tv-projects?
Bye
