Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Hi everyone! I'm not sure if anyone knows but I've found a way to get smooth strokes without Lazy Nezumi and without having to take your time drawing smooth finished lines. I recommend this because its pretty much a free feature within the program unlike how you have to pay for Lazy Nezumi after a 30 day trial.

If you've used Lazy Nezumi or Sai Paint Tool you'll notice the live smoothing effect these programs give you when drawing lines. It helps lag your cursor in order to stabilize it.

To get this in TV Paint:

•1.select the drawing instrument of choice.
•2. In the "Main Panel" there's that squiggle icon, or the free hand stroke icon. Click this and hold it.
•3. Select "Shape Settings"

There you should find "Activate line smoothing". Check this and there you go!

If you're used to Flash's type of smooth stroke correction, uncheck "Real Time" so it smooths your stroke after you draw it.

I hope this helps anyone who doesn't like the jagged lines like myself. Take care!

I'm surprised about how many people are unaware of this feature.
Thanks for the reminder.

Haha discoverred this halfway through my project T__T. Reason I never used it before is I never new you could tone it down enough it wasn't OVER smoothing.


Don't suppose there's a way to smooth out lines AFTER they've been drawn? T__T

Yes, just adjust the percentage of smoothing by click & drag on the arrows to the right of Smoothing -

There is no way to alter the path or shape of a stroke after it has been drawn (like in a vector app where you can push and pull the vector points to change the line), but if you want to "smooth" the line quality , there is the Anti-Aliasing function under the Stylize menu in the FX Stack.
