OK, thanks for your thoughts about this. I will take this into consideration. Including the portable zip. Appreciated.

[Niels]

Yes, we have been contemplating to do that. I must admit I don’t know much about the MS Store. I am used to Mac and the App Store, which is great. But it seemed to me that the MS Store isn’t used that much by people in general. What is your impression of it, Animation King?

[Niels]

Thanks Ussa 🙂

Hi Stephania, sorry I am responding in english – I hope that is OK?

So you haven’t received your activation key – Did you register for it? Did you make sure you typed your email correctly? Did you check your spam folder?

Or did you get the key alright, but Animation Paper didn’t accept it?

Please let me know so I can help you further.

Thanks,
Niels

Hi Rahul,

I haven’t seen this before. Sounds like something is happening on your local system.

Did you try to download and install it more than one time? Maybe you just need to try it again?

Please let me know.

Cheers,
Niels

Thanks for mentioning these Bob! Actually, both of your points are already on our todo, coming in one of our following alpha releases. 🙂

[Niels]

Hi Bryan, I’m sorry to hear that. During the whole year, we have been in alpha so far, our server has been down only a couple of times for only a few hours. This is something we want to do better with of course and we have taken good steps to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

So what prompted your decision today? Was there anything that didn’t work as intended?

Best,
Niels

To be perfectly honest, it is not a big deal to implement a simple algorithm that would smooth your mouse made lines. It will, however,  not be a satisfactory result no matter what we do. Drawing with a mouse is just not a good idea, unless you are just testing stuff or doing an extremely rough stick figure type animation. Our aim is to enable people to create high quality animation – so for serious use you just have to have proper drawing hardware. I highly recommend it.

We have plenty of important things still to do with Animation Paper, like the whole area of coloring, so I am afraid we will not be prioritising mouse smoothing. I hope you understand.

To maybe solve your problem, you should check out external smoothing softwares, that works as an extension of many drawing programs, including Animation Paper. Maybe others can suggest a good one?

Best,
Niels

Yes, Wacoms are high quality, but, I agree, expensive. I have used Wacoms since forever 😉 The Huions seem to be a good, less expensive, alternative though. Haven’t used one my self, but I know quite a few that has and they seem happy. 🙂

As long as it has pressure sensitivity you should be fine with what ever you choose for the budget you have.

[Niels]

Sounds awesome J. Thanks again.

Actually we do already have “tool tips” when you hold your cursor on top of buttons and stuff.

Also we already have a quite clever and subtle stabiliser on the line when drawing. But if you only use your mouse it will not help as much as you might like, because it is tuned to a stylus/pen. It does work even on a mouse though. 🙂

Anyway… 🙂

[Niels]

OK, I am confused. Sorry 🙂

I will investigate and get back to you…

[Niels]

Hi J, please see my answer in your latest post thread.

Hi J, please see my answer in your latest post thread.

[Niels]

Oh, I see! 🙂 Thanks for explaining.

I would certainly recommend using the new version (Animation Paper) – even though it is still in development – because it is already SO MUCH better than the old PAP.

Making an alternative download package as a zip file is no problem at all. We might do that. Thanks for your suggestion!

And just for you, get it here from my Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fz60h02c0kab1s7/AnimationPaper_x64.exe.zip?dl=0

That makes sense. Thanks a lot. And I see your focus is on the lightable – mine was on flipping between the keys/breakdowns. But both ways would benefit. So that is all noted. Thanks!
