Hi,

 

At some point my pencil locked to max. %75 value. I restarted the software and the mac ( version 12.7.6, M1 ) but still the have the same issue as the screenshot shown below.

.

 

Thanks,

Ridvan

Never heard of that problem before – thanks so much for reporting it! We’ll look into it.

To help you right now, I guess it will work if you reset your pen settings. Press Shift Cmd D to Reset User Settings of your drawing tools.

[cevik]

Sure, anytime.

I’ve just reset the pen settings but still same.

[Niels]

Oh wow. That’s interesting. And strange. I’ll have to ask Frederik about this (lead programmer).

[Bahadir Tosun]

I’ve also checked and it’s max %75.

[Niels]

Oh! Is the problem that the max value is 75%? Because that is how it is made – deliberately. The pencil can not have a 100% opacity.

I thought Ridvan said it was somehow “locked” – I mean, I understood it as the slider was not able to move – couldn’t be dragged downwards.

Can you confirm Ridvan?

[cevik]

Yes Niels, many years layer I just again started to test the program and not so used to yet.

Sorry for confusion. Situation happened while I am trying with the modifier keys and might be duplicated layer or something similar so at one point I saw dark pencil strokes with the lighter ones. Then I checked the opacity and saw that value and wanted to asked you because I first time saw maximum opacity value at 75. Quite surprised by the way.

Thank you for your help!

[Niels]

If I helped you – by accident – then you’re welcome 😀

I understand why you would be confused by the 75% at the maximum. I am not too happy about this myself. The reason was that you could compare it to the other pen tools and their opacity – however, it might be more confusing than helpful 😀

Anyway, thanks for testing! Keep it up – and please report anything else you might find weird.

Thanks,
Niels

Thanks Niels,

 

Yes, you and Bahadir helped as you let me know that it is the default max value. I never thought like that as the I used to know in other softwares default as %100. I thought something happened while using by my mistake. I wish to be able to increase that . Also with that if the value is not visible I was probably not be aware of the opacity as thats a pencil . If  there would be an preferences option or being able to create a manual lock point on the slider (like in procreate) might be great option I think.  Because as we animators in general, are not playing with the values as much as the painters or the concept artists. That’s just an opinion

 

Thank you all and the developer team as you bring us this great, smart traditional looking software! I really miss this kind of real animation artist like approach espacially in user interface.  Great job!

 

Best,

Ridvan

I will definitely consider changing these percentages. Thanks a lot.

And thanks for your kind words!
