![]() Plus, it has its own panel and its own icon on the Main Panel. Improved Line smoothing options ! Now, you have the choice between 2 modes : "average" or "pulled string".The Windows top menu is re-organized to help newcomers to find what they are looking for.New interface, with darker colour scheme and pretty icons.An Eraser tool is available (but don't worry, colour mode “Erase” is still here as well).Layer Preset Manager : manage different preset kinds to create your layers with specific configuration.Auto Break and Auto Create Frame are now layer depending.The Flips panel : configure your flips in the exact way you like (between images, instances, marked images, etc.) with the shortcuts your want.A library, to stock images, references or model-sheets.Guidelines to draw lines, ellipses, perspectives with vanishing points, image guides, etc.It also allows you to imitate cut-out animation. A Warp tool based on the technology "as rigid as possible", which allows to distort, stretch and bend your drawings.2 new texturing FX : "Brush Spreading" and "Inlay Texture", to make great textures (depending on the shape) in a few click.It's a full layer engine dedicated to make the colouring and texturing processes faster and easier than before. Create colour libraries, give them a name, track colour area with textures. Color and texturing engine thanks to "Color and Texture to Generate" layers (aka CTG) : this is the biggest change added in TVPaint Animation 11 Professional Edition.Here is a short list that sums up the new features : TVPaint Animation 11 is released (that's also why the forum and the website has changed). I have invited someone from Recordex in this Topic, so you should be able to ask him about pricing, delivery, etc. On MAC, it seems to use the highest resolution, then it's stretched according to the project size. ![]() Nb : the tech guy at CalArts has purchased 8~10 of those WebCam for linetest. So the best is to use the same resolution with the camera settings and the project. You can set the resolution on the webcam parameters on PC, or you can set the resolution when starting a new project, then the image will be stretched (or not if both are the same). Does that make sense ? I am wondering if the camera has settings that can change the aspect ratio of the image being captured or if it automatically sets itself to the aspect ratio used in the TVPaint project size. The camera resolution is actually 2560 x 1944 so obviously it will scale down to 640 x 480 and look good (in terms of line quality/sharpness) but how does the aspect ratio look ? Does it automatically put in the "black bars" at top and bottom of image or on sides to keep the 4:3 aspect ratio ? Or does the camera adapt to whatever aspect ratio the user sets in TVP, so 4:3 or 16:9 is used depending on whether the project size is set to 1280 x 720 (16:9) or something like 1600 x 1200 (4:3). pencil test for quick upload to a website or YouTube at 640 x 480. How does it manage with different aspect ratios in TVPaint ? I think if it captures at high-resolution (2560 x 1944) then with adequate lighting on the drawings and then running the Scan Cleaner FX on the captured images it could be good enough quality to color the captured images, yes ? Even with slow refresh rate you mention I bet it is still faster than scanning on a flatbed scanner. Thank you for the report ! I think I will add this to the list of recommended camera/capture devices for my students. You will probably need additional light (the one available is not powerful enough), but once again, the Scan-Cleaner will be your friend if you plan to do animation. I leaveįabrice wrote:ok, we got the material and tested it. PS : there is no peg bar with it, you have to find one. I'm going to take it with me when demo-ing TVPaint. I think it's a good tool to use TVPaint and paper. It's hard to set the height of the lens, but I don't think it's a real problem. You will probably need additionnal light (the one available is not powerful enough), but once again, the Scan-Cleaner will be your friend if you plan to do animation. The refresh rate is not really good in Hi-Res, but usable for line-testing or I should say image grabing purpose. The max resolution is 2560 x 1944 so it's actually higher than HD. (in addition, if you use the TVPaint Scan-Cleaner after line testing, it's pretty good, since 95% of the pixels are removed, and you keep the black lines.) The lens doesn't have a perfect quality to get the colors exactly, but if you work in black and white for line testing, it's goog enough. It's basically a webcam so you don't need to install anything, plug the USB cable and use it ! On Linux, we need to do a few changes in the software, so you will need TVPaint Animation 10. There is no driver CD and it's actually working fine on TVPaint Animation 9.5 on MAC and PC.
