Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

I would like a simple way to capture a brush in a button but whithout having it to remember and affect size.

The size often depends on the shot, I often just need to change my brush without changing it's size.

I know that i can script it for each tool but it's a long process and maybe everyone needs this feature

pas certain d'avoir compris ...

Mon niveau d'anglais est incroyable haha

J'aimerais pouvoir capturer un outil via un bouton, mais qu'il ne se souvienne pas de la taille. Par exemple j'ai capturé deux brushs que j'aime : un crayon avec une taille qui varie en fonction de la pression et un aérographe avec une taille fixe.
Je bosse avec un outil qui a une taille paramétrée sur 7 pixels, et je veux juste pouvoir changer de brush en gardant la taille que j'ai. Et si je bosse avec une taille de 3 pixels pour le plan suivant (ou des projets avec une résolution différente) où mon trait doit être plus gros/fin, j'aimerais toujours pouvoir changer de brush en gardant mes 3 pixels.

Actuellement dès que je change de brush, je récupère la taille que j'avais en le sauvegardant. De la même manière qu'on peut choisir si on garde la couleur ou non, j'aimerais pouvoir aussi choisir de ne pas garder la taille.

Je me retrouve à travailler parfois avec plusieurs brushs simultanément et j'aimerais économiser ce temps où je dois resizer le brush, tester si la taille est bonne, corriger etc...
Et concrètement ça me permettrait de préparer mes brushs persos tous à une taille équivalente pour pouvoir passer de l'un à l'autre sans jamais me poser la question d'adapter la taille.

En attendant je compte juste me faire quelques boutons avec des tailles de base pour switcher rapidement.

EDIT.
I just realized I misunderstood the request . So the next has nothing to do with the request.

I would also liked this. This is why I scripted my own "Dynamic tools" in 2009.
I shared the idea as the part "tools" of my "Mads Juul Panel" I shared it here http://forum.tvpaint.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3648

Since I have modified it to also contain Layer Preserve Transparency and active paper. And it can also give the paper a random angle each time the tool is loaded.
I attach the panel here.
But it is merely a proof of concept. Because my panel will save/load the tools wrongly if not all the tools used is loaded through the panel(which is how I work)
Becuse(if I should get a little technical) My scripts need to know which tool was loaded the last to work properly. So every tool need a george command something like

Code: Select all

 tv_writeUserString 'tool' 'current' 1

or

Code: Select all

 "tv_writeUserString 'tool' 'current' cut_brush" 

or something.

Anyways here is my panel. and you can try it out . try this:

But because it doesn't work "Out of the box" is the reason why I havn't shared it properly

Super nice, thank you!

EDIT : I'm sorry, but your panel does remember the size right? Like actual buttons. What i want is to change the tool but to keep the same size.

Anyway your panel is awesome. We just need to set the size one time and it's good for as long as we need this size for this tool, it's better than what i was expecting in fact.

so sorry. I misunderstood you. My panel does something else. It remembers if you change the size of a custom tool. So I just realize it has nothing to do with your request

Haha no problem, I'll make a great use of your panel anyway.

Maybe one day if you have the time, you can add this option about remembering the size to the other options (like the color)?

Thanks for sharing

I'm not sure I understand, but I think you want to be able to have the size of the current tool assigned to the new tool you are loading?

If so, here is a simple script that works this way:

Perfect! Thanks
