That’s odd. Do you see the little spinner after entering the code? (it’s connecting to our license server)

Thanks for making that comparison video! It makes it very clear.

Its a pros and cons kind of thing. The way the line works in the new version has its advantages.

I’ll look into this more closely when I get a bit of time and see what we can do. Maybe an option as you suggest.

[Niels]

Animation Paper already have a clever and subtle stabilizer built in working while you draw. Maybe you already felt it?

Currently we do not give access to customize/adjust this stabilizer (keeping it simple), but we might do that in a future alpha version if we find an uncomplicated way to do that.

In Animation Paper you don’t first select, then cut. It works in one go.

So you just picked what ever you lassoed up. That’s it. Now you can move your floating selection around as you please, change frame, scale/rotate, etc. Then you stamp it down by hitting Return/Enter or just click outside the selection.

When you did the Ctrl+X you cut the whole drawing (like from the X-sheet). You still saw your selection, but that was because you had it picked up.

Does that make sense?

[Niels]

OK, thanks for reporting. We will have to get a Surface Pro to test on for sure!

[Niels]

I understand. I chose to make that kind of functionality with a Hue Shift of the layer color instead of two separate colors. I thought that worked better. Would you agree?

[Niels]

Jansen, we did get Animation Paper certified by Microsoft, but this will still happen for a while, since Animation Paper is brand new software and as such not known to Microsoft. Just go ahead and let it install. No virus here!

Jeremie, are you sure your computer is online?

Hard for me to guess about the unidentified error. But I can tell you that you don’t have to uninstall the old PAP. Animation Paper and PAP is technically two completely different programs, so you can run both if you wish. 🙂

Thanks Eric. But it changes according to the size of the drawing-tool (or erasing-tool) you are using. The circle marks the maximum size and the inner part of the crosshair lines marks the minimum. If you use a mouse, that hasn’t got any pressure sensitivity, I understand why the cursor size feels weird.

If you don’t want the cursor that shows the size, you can toggle to the other type of curser, that remains a dot all the time. Shortcut , (comma).

We will be supporting Linux for the finished 5.0 release for sure. That has been the plan all along. And therefore we need to, at some point during alpha stage, jump onto Linux. So yes! But it will be a few months before we get there probably.

[Niels]

Sure. A real brush system is first on our list for the next big version (like v6.0 – not alpha). Probably 2021.

Most obvious would be to support the Photoshop brush format, so we could utilise all the great brushes that have been made for Photoshop. However that is not necessarily easy or even possible to do. We will do our best to make it happen though! You see, the challenge is that the Animation Paper line engine is special with its ability to scale without any degradation or blur. That’s not like any other bitmap based engines.

[Niels]

You’re welcome!

[Niels]

No problem!

[Niels]

Thanks! 🙂

The sizes are intentional. Vinyl is just much larger than the pointy rubber eraser. The size is almost the only difference, so I recommend using rubber eraser to erase details and single lines within a drawing – and vinyl eraser for larger parts.

Regarding the shortcuts, I’m not sure I understand you correctly. But be aware that the shortcuts for the direction of the canvas rotation are the numbers on your numpad!
