In reply to: ANTI-ALIASING
I see Ilias. I do understand that for some uses you could have a need for being able to manipulate on a precise pixel by pixel level. Not that Animation Paper isn’t precise, but you know what I mean. 🙂 However, I’m not sure that no anti aliasing is the solution. I mean, it wouldn’t be enough I think. If we had no anti aliasing, then new needs would come up right away, you would quickly wish you had that pixel by pixel pixel-art drawing/clicking. I’m sorry, but I just don’t think Animation Paper is the right software to turn into a pixel-art animation tool.
This is my immediate thoughts. Let me know if you think I’m wrong. I am listening.
It is not that switching off AA is hard to do in our software. It’s not. But I want to minimize the number of speciality features and technical clutter. Animation Paper is ment to be cleverly digital, but “analogue” in its feel. No AA is going against that. Do you see what I mean?

I totally follow you Dave. We need this. I do think the functionality we already have for holding E (and holding D) is good and fits Animation Paper as it is. But we could do this temporary change to an eraser using another key instead.
Actually, the three erasers and the three drawing tools are on keys 1,2,3,4,5,6. We could make them work as you say. So hitting, say 2, changes the tool to rubber eraser. But holding 2 changes it temporarily to rubber eraser and springs back to the tool you had before when you release the 2 key. All 1 – 6 could work perfectly this way.
What do you think about that?

I had this feature planned so you could have several scenes/clips open at the same time – to be able to check continuity and such. This feature is still on our todo list but according to our plan will have to wait for a future version (so much to do!) 🙂
Yes, the challenge is to make it highly functional and efficient for the pro animator/studio, but at the same time keep it so simple and easy to understand that the beginner can use it too.
Would be great to chat, but I am super busy at the moment. No time, sorry 🙂

I understand. Many functions are nice to have as one key press or hold. But there’s too many for all to be like that. I have given the shortcuts vast amounts of consideration. But I know that we all have our favourite ways, so doing your own is of course the best at the end of the day. This possibility will come in a following alpha update.

Thanks Paul.
So a short slanted line is what you are looking for? Noted. Thanks.
Assigning tools to the Wacom pen switches are a matter of setting it up in your Wacom settings right? So just assign the shortcuts D for Draw and E for Erase. Or did I misunderstand?
4 monitors? Impressive! 🙂
Others have mentioned this need too. At least the X-sheet should be able to tare off as a separate window. Then it can be placed on a second monitor. Already my plan was to have a full view of your current frame, kind of as a reference, on a 2nd monitor. That is to come soon.

Hi Dave – I think that sounds like a fantastic idea! As you say, we have to “feel it” before we can say if your exact way of doing it will work just right. But I definitely like your way of thinking. We will try it and let you know how it goes. Maybe we can send you a build for you to test at some point. It’s on our list now! Thanks!
