Thanks Ramez. Interesting.

Don’t worry about a screenshot. But one thing:

What happens if you load the file again? Are you able to reproduce this problem – does it happen again when you try to save it a second time?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi again Ganbold. Good news! 🙂

Frederik have worked on this problem today. Animation Paper now detects if the graphics hardware doesn’t support 1D and then uses 2D instead. So this should hopefully solve your problem. This fix will be included in Alpha 2.

I just hope your hardware will generally be able to run Animation Paper reasonably well. At least one obstacle has hopefully been removed. 🙂

Please let me know how it goes, when you try Alpha 2 in a few days…

[Niels]

I hope we can find a solution somehow afterall. We might be able to do a special part of the software that does the needed 1D stuff with the CPU instead of the GPU. This would be an internal automatic feature, so it would work for people in your situation without the need for setting anything up. That’s my hope anyways. It might happen in a following alpha…

[Niels]

OK, Frederik says it is because of the 1D issue. We are using the GPU for various things including rendering of the drawn lines. We utilise 1D textures (one dimensional. As opposed to 2D or 3D.) Apparently your graphics card do not allow or support that.

I’m sorry, I do not think there is much we can do about that.

[Niels]

Glad you like it! 🙂 And thanks.

Circle and rectangle are examples of tools I have not wanted to add to Animation Paper – because of simplicity and the “analogue” / nontechnical / hand drawn style of it. But I am listening. So maybe at some point in a future release it will make sense.

[Niels]

Hi Patrick, you can use the option “Simple Unbroken Sequence (clone info lost)” to do exactly that.

Or you could just use “Exclude Clones” which skips the clones – i.e. makes “holes” in the numbered sequence. Some software will then fill the holes in with copies (like making the clones again). This is good for keeping track of what to color. No need to color the same drawing many times, just because it is repeated, if you see what I mean.

[Niels]

Very helpful Ganbold! Thanks! I will show this to Frederik (programmer).

[Niels]

Thank you very much Rayk! Audio will come soon in one of the next alpha updates. 🙂

[Niels]

Hi Ganbold, Animation Paper should run on most newer systems. I don’t think it is your hardware that is to blame for the strange thing that happens on your son’s Win10. Also reusing the key is not the problem.

What I am noticing is that Animation Paper apparently has approved your key, but never shows the main Animation Paper window for some weird reason. Do you have an extra monitor connected? Could it be that Animation Paper opens up on another desktop or on a disabled monitor or something. Somewhere our of view?

Is it running if you check in Task Manager?

[Niels]

Cool Mike! Thanks!

[Niels]

Yes, that’s exactly right Randall! The best way to copy a drawing, so you can alter it, is to clone it and hit O. No need to use the lasso for that.

[Niels]

Yes, this is on my wishlist too 🙂 Thanks for mentioning it!

[Niels]

Thank you very much Randall! And thanks for showing your animation.

Yeah, the iPad version will be awesome. Can’t wait my self. 😉 Thanks for letting me know about the lasso-thing.

[Niels]

That’s cool Ross! Glad you found a good solution for now. 🙂

[Niels]

Hehe cool! 🙂 Yeah, the colors are to distinguish between each layer. But this can be use creatively as you did 🙂 Custom colors as well as the whole painting/coloring part of Animation Paper are coming during this alpha stage as well. Thanks for showing!
