Hi Joules!

First of all! Very creative use of the limited layer colours! 😉 I had to look twice to get the brown tree trunks 😀

Would you mind emailing your .ap file to me, so I can better investigate what the problem might be? Maybe you found a bug, that we need to fix! My email address is the one you got your activation key from. Thanks very much!

Best,
Niels

I haven’t received it. Strange. I checked my spam folder as well. Did you use niels@animationpaper.com?

Just got it now! Thanks Joules!

OK, it’s not that the backlight doesn’t work. But I can’t decide if there’s a specific part/algorithm of what I intended that is flawed or not. I need to look into the details some more.

Your green layer, called “2”, has this fully opaque area at the bottom 1/4 of the frame. Also your layer opacity is set to 100%. This is why it doesn’t allow what you draw in that part of the frame to be visible. If you either turn that layer off or just lower the opacity (temporarily), you can see your drawings on top through the backlight.

This is an interesting special case. I’ll dive deeper into it soon.

Thanks,
Niels

Wait… Just looked again. Something weird is going on! 😀

More investigation… maybe it IS a bug…

We’ll get back to you…
