Raster based drawing tools are probably better or at least seem more natural for loose sketching which is nice for developing organically smooth animation. TBS is a good tool for inking and clean up and coloring, and particularly great for animation camera work what most people find difficult is doing rough sketching in a natural fluid way in TBS. Once you have your action working the way you want it, you can import the sequence of images into TBS and on a separate layer you “ink” and clean-up those drawing and further enhance the animation.
This gives you the ability to “flip” between drawings and you can insert in-between drawings into a sequence to work out timing issues and smooth out actions just by the way you name your document files. It has a feature that lets you use the Page-Up and Page-Down keys to move between documents in a sequence. I often draw an entire character animation rough sequence in Sketchbook Pro. There is no smoothing functionality in Sketchbook Pro.Īs to it’s value as a part of a potential TBS workflow, you might want to approach it as a comfortable rough drawing tool for planning and doing the early stages of a sequence. As a general rule you won’t find smoothing in raster based drawing environments. Smoothing is a functionality that is often applied in vector drawing software. I can’t believe they don’t have this …do you know where this is in SB? Question: Since you have SB …one feature I can’t seem to find is smoothing of the pen/pencil stroke.
Seems I loose this flexibility if I can only import from SB as images. I like TBS animation work flow and all the tools they have setup to make whole scale changes to scenes if needed. TBS-Storyboard however seems pretty much the same as TBS. I not very thrilled with TBS drawing environment and tools, so I’m demoing SB …and also demoing TBS storyboard as well. Import as regular TBS drawings where you can’t make simple changes to the drawings as if they were drawn in TBS. What I was hoping is …I could draw in SB and import to TBS but not as images.
I did import the drawings to TBS and was only able to do so as images. I am using the SB demo and drawing with it feels great …very natural …and they have some tools that I think would make TBS better (for example the symmetry tool). OK …I did not know Sketchbook was not vector based …that may explains why when I enlarge or reduce drawings it doesn’t maintain the level of clarity/detail.
