    Thank you very much for thinking of us in this way. Others have asked me the same before. I truly appreciate your support and good will, but I would rather just get the software done and start selling it to all the people waiting. So please support us by buying it once the final is released. Also help spreading the word is great! Thank you so much.

    In reply to: What does linking a layer mean?

    If you click the link icon on two layers, those two layers will be linked together. That means that when you change anything regarding timing in one of the layers, the other will automatically follow with the same kind of change. This is good for layers that belong together, like a body and it’s head separated out on two layers. So let’s say you need more frames for an expression on the head, so you add a few drawings to it, then the linked body will get the same amount of drawings added to keep the action in sync later down the timeline.

    You can link as many layers together as you need. Including annotations. This way your notes “stick” to the drawings you made them for.

    Let me know if this makes any sense?

    Thanks,
    Niels

    Oh! Wow!

    OK, so I’ll assume it was something local on your system. Let me know if the problem returns. I’m glad it works for you now.

    OK, thanks. That’s weird. We’ll try to investigate. What system are you on? Win/Mac and OS version? Hardware?

    Thanks,

    Hi Matilda,

    Yeah, using the menu is not good. You have to use the keys. But you say it doesn’t work? You need to hold down the two keys. And then you can, while holding them down, move and rotate your drawing. Is that what you are doing?

    Thanks for letting us (everybody) know, Kasa. Does it work alright? Fast enough?

    Thanks for the info Hans! I am (sort of) aware of these things already, but always good to get some more insight and detail.

    We will be making our fill tool similar in functionality. It has to be efficient. Good point about the bloom-up trick. Thanks!

    Thanks Fabian,

    Can I ask you for a favour? Please download this zip file. Unpack the zip. Double-click the file “diagnose.cmd” to run it. This produces an “ap_diag.txt” file that you must email back to me. My email is the one you got your Activation Key from.

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/uunbl8n4nluq27n/diagnose_ap_opengl_x86.zip?dl=0

    This info should enable us to send back to you a config file that fixes your blocky lines problem. 🙂

    Thanks,
    Niels

    OK, no worries. I think this is fixable. Can you tell me what kind of graphics hardware you have?

    Hi Francisco,

    If you have previously installed an earlier version of Animation Paper that had an Activation Key accepted, then you should be fine. It is the same key for you for all Alpha and Beta releases.

    If this is your first time installing, then you just need to register to get your Activation Key. Just click the link in the small window coming up when you launch Animation Paper.

    Let me know if this helped you or not?

    I think this might be because you had an older Animation Paper installed already. It’s normally not necessary to uninstall first, but maybe it is this time – especially if your original AP was earlier releases.

    So please try uninstalling all versions, reboot, and then install Alpha 5 again. Let me know if that makes it work?

    Thanks,
    Niels

    I have just this minute moved this version (Alpha5) to the public download page. This includes the 32bit variant.

    Enjoy!

    Hi guys!

    I think I have good news! We believe we have fixed the messy blocky lines issue! Can I ask you to test this at your end?

    Download and install this: https://animationpaper.com/files/Alpha5/AnimationPaper_x64.exe

    Hopefully it just works for you now. Please let me know if the lines look fine now. Also if things run at a good speed, so drawing doesn’t feel slow or anything.

    Thank you very much! I really hope we finally fixed this annoying problem for those of you who couldn’t ever get a smooth and nice looking line. Fingers crossed! Please let me know asap! 😉

    Best,
    Niels
