"Sound" displays the space to manage soundtracks. "Notes" displays the Timeline for Notes. In order to make the use of TVPaint Animation easier than before, the Timeline has been improved too.įrom now, you will find 5 buttons at the bottom left corner : You prefer clear interfaces ? No problem, if "Orage" (means "storm" in French) does not suit you, a light interface with darker icons is available in preferences. It is done now !Ĭolors are darker, icons are grey and redesigned : all was made to give a familiar and pleasant look to TVPaint, whatever if you are a long time user or a newcomer. It was time for TVPaint Animation to get a new face. To refresh the layer, I create a button to toggle visibility.Revisited color scheme and a new icons set I have two versions and I really don't know what is the difference It's based on shortcut macros, I didn't know how to script at the time It imports the sequence in a new layer but on frame 2 and sets the mark in I made scripts for that a looooong time ago back when i was interning at tvpaint in. I guess also it's useful to get kind of a thumbnail on clip view?īut a simple workaround is just to make your clip mark in start one farme later and you're fine. Yep! From what i remember, the team told me it's because of the old timeline engine and they can't change anything. The feature request is that TVPaint would treat a single image (imported with Preload unchecked ) as a referenced image which may be edited and updated (the same as an imported image sequence). So it seems as if TVPaint will treat an imported image sequence as referenced source images, but will not treat a single imported image as a referenced source image. When I went back to TVPaint the image had updated to show the changes I made on the original source image, Tree Branch_0002_OL.png.īUT, then I tried editing the first image on the timeline ,Tree_Branch_OL_0001.png, and it also updated in TVPaint! I edited the original source image Tree Branch_0002_OL.png in Photoshop and saved it. Then I imported those into TVPaint (with Preload unchecked). Next, I made a copy of the image and named the two images Tree_Branch_OL_0001.png and Tree Branch_0002_OL.png. Then I made a change to the original source file Tree_Branch_OL.png. I imported it to TVPaint with Preload unchecked. Just now I have tried another test with one of my painted layers ,Tree_Branch_OL.png. Previously I had been trying it with single images (painted layers from Photoshop to be used for a multiplane camera set up.) So when I imported those single images one layer at a time into TVPaint with Preload unchecked I expected those images to behave as referenced source images, therefore I expected that if I make any changes to those referenced source images then the changes will be seen in TVPaint. What I don't understand is why the first image would be baked-in and can't be changed, because it is also part of the same image sequence. When I return to TVPaint the changes I made are now visible on those frames ! So that works. Then I made slight changes to two of the source images (opening them in Photoshop to make the changes, then saved them to the original folder). I imported the image sequence with the Preload box unchecked. Interesting ! With this information in mind, I tried it with an image sequence. Well from my testings it doesn't work on the first image of the timeline which is baked automatically and always, but works well on the rest of the layer So could we also have "Reload All External Image/Video Dependencies" under the Project menu > Dependencies ? If I have a soundtrack loaded in TVPaint, but I edit the original soundtrack file, then when I click "Reload All Soundtracks" it automatically updates the soundtrack in TVPaint. Under the Project menu > Dependencies we have the option to "Reload All Soundtracks". Would it be possible to have external referenced image files be updated in TVPaint if the original referenced image is edited ? To update the image it must be re-imported to a new layer and the previous layer deleted. It seems to behave the same as a non-referenced image that was imported into TVPaint. It makes me wonder: in what sense is the external file a "referenced" image ? However, in TVPaint a referenced external file is not updated if the original referenced file is updated. (for example if the original referenced image is a red ball, but I edit the original referenced image to adjust the hue & saturation to make it a yellow ball and save it, then inside the app where the image of the red ball is being used it will update to be a yellow ball.) It will be updated in the project where it is being referenced. In some other applications that make use of referenced images, such as Adobe After Effects, Adobe Animate, Storyboarder (to name a few), if I edit and save an external referenced image TVPaint_No_Preload_REFERENCE_Image.png (30.94 KiB) Viewed 5058 times
