Thanks a lot Jerkdouglas! Your animations are awesome.

And thanks very much for your suggestions. Let me comment on each…

1) Yeah, I know, even though many people love the vertical x-sheet (must be the old guys, like me;)), quite a few don’t. You might be right – maybe it is just a matter of doing the exact same thing, but horizontal. Noted.

2) Actually we do have a built in automatic stabiliser already working on all strokes. It is much “smarter” and more subtle compared to those simple smoothing algorithms. However,  people are used to the smoothing, so even though it wasn’t our plan from the beginning to include this kind of smoothing, we might add it. Others have requested this too.

3) Skewing is on our todo-list. As well as other ways of transforming, like “squash and stretch” that will keep a volume, while pulling or pushing it in any direction.

4) Remapping keys is on our todo as well.

You mentioned Animation Paper being a raster program. And it is. At least our ambition is for it to behave and feel like raster. But we do have a special line engine underneath, which means we are (and will be even more so) able to do kind of cool things. We will do line-nudging, so for close in-betweens you can simply push your lines slightly and still keep them crisp mind you. But, already, take a look what happens when you pick up a smaller part of your drawing using the lasso – then scale it up, or even way up – and stamp it down again. There’s no degradation or blurring or anything. It feels almost magic! (At least I think so) 😉

Anyway, thanks for your sweet words! Keep beating your friends over their heads! 😉

Thanks,
Niels

Yes. It’s default setting is “Faint Cursor”. Turn that option off, to have a much clearer drawing cursor. It’s in the Draw menu.

Thanks Jalenr11 🙂

[Niels]

OK, I understand. Thanks for explaining.

You probably already given me your hardware specs elsewhere (sorry I can’t remember) – but would you mind giving me them again? OS, graphics card, memory, etc?

[Niels]

OK, thanks a lot Matilda.

[Niels]

By the way – are you using Ctrl-Alt on the left side or right side of your keyboard? It sounds silly, but it could actually make a difference.

[Niels]

Thanks 🙂

[Niels]

OK, thanks.

I just have to ask to rule it out – you do check the “Include Audio” option right? Of course you did, sorry.

Would you mind emailing me your ap file, containing the audio? My email is the one you got your activation key from.

Thanks,
Niels

Hi and thanks for your comment.

I am not sure I understand. When you say “slower”, do you mean it starts lagging or something like that? Or is it just the fact that when drawing a certain distance across your screen at a certain speed, it of course will cover different distances on your paper depending on how much you are zoomed in on the paper.

But I’d better just let you explain it. What do you mean? 😉

[Niels]

Alright. Thanks Terran.

[Niels]

Thanks Shaneta. Coloring is not available, – it is not implemented yet, but will be available as soon as we are ready.

Best,
Niels

[Niels]

OK. Appreciated.

[Niels]

I see. I thought those gloves were only for the gliding – but good to know that it helps with the false triggering too. Thanks!

[Niels]

OK, thanks Matilda. We might return with a test version for you at some point. But right now were are busy with our scheduled development, which is customisation of the Tool Bar and Speed Dials. But we’ll get to it eventually.

[Niels]

Thanks a lot Dan. Noted.

Do you not experience the problems Mike are describing? (gesture features are triggered falsely by side of hand or such).

Best,
Niels
