#TVPAINT VS DIGICEL FLIPBOOK MAC OS#

The set up I'm describing works fine on the Modbook.DigiCel FlipBook is 2D animation software that runs on Microsoft Windows or Mac OS X. My son has a Modbook (13' screen tablet Mac) and he has the demo of TVP on the Modbook. I'm working on a Cintiq with an extra monitor at home, so I have my toolbars distributed to the extra monitor, but when I'm on the go I am using TVP on my Macbook with the small size 4' x 6' Intous 3 so I have the screen real estate on the Macbook screen optimized by having the Rooms set up as I describe above. You can just jump back and forth between the rooms as needed. So in your Sketching/Animating room it can be the minimalist view with just the drawing area and a few of your most often used pencils, but then another room can have the expanded timeline and other toolbars displayed (un-docked).

The other thing to remember is with the 4 different customizable 'Rooms' in TVP Pro is that you can jump back and forth between the rooms, but the project will be the same project.

I need to be able to see my cells and the exposure and be able to copy and paste cells so going from retracted timeline to expanded is not workable.Īs Zig mentioned, you can set a hotkey to toggle the Timeline on and off or just do as I suggested and set it to the collapsed view, then whenever you need to see the timeline to work on your exposures you simply move the cursor down to the bottom to have the timeline pop-up. (all other toolbars docked, but are accessible instantly by simply moving your cursor to the extreme right or extreme left of the screen, or bring up the timeline by moving the cursor down to the bottom edge of screen). Only use the tools you need in a single floating toolbar.

Just set up one of the TVP Rooms to a very simple layout. You can do everything that Jason demonstrates with Digicel Flipbook in TVP Animation.

If you want the professional quality drawing tools get TVP. Very very good.īut if that's all you need then why not just use Digicel or better, just use the free Pencil software ? However, as you have discovered the drawing tools in Pencil and Digicel Flipbook are no where near as elegant and sensitive as TVP drawing tools. People addicted to animation tradeshow know him for his dedication to sell the crappy Digicel software and. Great example by ex Disney Animator and now Dreamworks supervisor Jason Ryan. I just found that great example of what I need when planning my 3d animation

The Timecode is very important though and being able to move stuff around 'ala' Flash would be very nice.Īt the end of the day, here are the only tools I need in TV Paintīasically it s exactly like Pencil2d or PAP but, again, with TV Paint award winning Timeline and Brush engine This is probably the wrong example since I did use a Drop Shadow FX but I don't really need it. Here is the only thing I am interested in doing in TV Paint

Ĭome on, how many people really need all that stuff? I don't even understand two third of it! I have no interest in all the Post Production tools, Xsheet, FX, blending options. I am a 3d animator so I only use Digital Animation software to rough out my thumbnails and timing before jumping into Maya so the only thing I need is the award winning TV Paint toolbar and the Brush engine. I am pretty sure Adobe send its reps directly to them Hehe I don't think big companies buy Adobe softwares through the Adobe website.
