If you don’t mind would you be able to record a small video with those issues? I can recommend the open source Open Broadcast Software for that so you don’t have to use costy software.Īnd well…I’m a teacher as well so I want your daughter to actually experience a decent learning curve on digital drawing and animation, I’ll go against my own rules for promoting other software on the forum and recommend you Krita.
You CAN make invisible lines in a vector layer to colour drawn objects without visible lines, but it doesn’t work on bitmap as far as I’m concerned. The invisible grid area thing is unknown to me.
Although the bleeding edge code I pulled today is crashing on my Qt framework, so I can’t be certain if this is a by-product of that. The “not-saving” issue shouldn’t happen unless it’s one of the most recent nightly builds…even so the one i tested a week ago did save my animation drawings. vec (for vector information) and palette files for colour information for the palette window.
If you’ve noticed everytime you save a new folder is created alongside the file which has every file that your animation might use, usually the drawings are saved as PNG files, and there’s a. Soooo… is this file not saving a known issue?Īnother really annoying issue that was coming up was that when sketching the pen appeared to go invisible in some type of grid area… (Is this some type of critter with the selection tool?) I’m not sure what’s going on with… Is this a bug, or me inadvertently triggering some type of feature, I don’t You’re right I did miss your edit by a few minutes! Hmm well to me the PCLX file format is new bussiness I’m sued to the PCL one, but either way those files are in truth XML files that point the pencil engine where the required resources are lcoated. She did something she didn’t like and wanted to open her saved animation which came up blank… (I didn’t get any fresh demands for Adobe, but I got “the look” which is genetic trait that came from mom. (during the save I created a special sub-folder). She started her first animation (bitmap) and tried saving it as the default PCLX file format. I was going to add a comment that I’m not seeing it, but I can’t find that issue now, did this get closed?Īnyway… We did notice a couple of buglike issues, that I thought I ask about: I was looking at the bug list yesterday and there was an open bug complaining about loosing pressure sensitivity on the pen that I wanted to test for. After fixing the aforementioned critter, I plugged her wacom into my laptop and it seemed it to be performing really well. Ok… so that’s what got me downloading the source and compiling on m 64 14.04 Ubuntu laptop. The lines where coming out really squiggly which really frustrating her and went into the “I’m almost a teenager attitude” and wound up deleting the app and putting Adobe Illustrator on her birhday wish list (yikes). We had installed it on her windows7 workstation from one of the precompiled packages and she immediately had some issues using here wacom tablet. My daughter had expressed an interest in animation and I ran across pencil2d after a bit of googling. Well, I forked the repo, cloned it, my tiny bug fix and pushed it back to my fork and created a pull request.(Did it work?) Do you guys have guidelines on submitting fixes? If I do something more complicated, I’m thinking I should probably submit it on a branch or Moreno Thanks for the tip on editing.
Now everytime there’s an updated version, I don’t have to redownload a zip each time.īest of luck with your father-daughter bonding and happy holidays as well.
I know it’s a hassle but I can’t change it, hopefully when our admin updates the web we can change how editing posts work.Īlso if it helps something I’ve done is setup tortoise svn to pull the code from github since it’s been supported on their site since a few months back. To edit any other post you’ll have to use the following structure where the number is the ID for each post: When you’re trying to edit your first post on a thread created by you, you’ll have to add the word edit to the browser link like this: Hopefully and can shed light on this specific problem while you’re trying to work on it. Right now it seems our few devs are away for the holidays. Hey Thank you for taking an interest in helping to develop Pencil2D.
