Hi everybody !

First, I would like to thank CGsociety, who agreed I post this thread about our software =)


So, a new version of the TVPaint technology (also known as "TVPaint", "Aura" and "Mirage") is available. Its name : TVP Animation 9.5. You can download it now on the TVPaint website

By the way, if you are a TVP Animation 9 user, this update is free for you.



Among all the new features available, we may already mention :


*The project tab becomes a storyboard tool : Now with TVP Animation 9.5, you can easily create a storyboard. This storyboard may be animated, printed, exported... A great new feature to make easier the animation workflow.

*The camera tool : A new tool is available into the Main panel. Thanks to this camera, you can quickly create camera movements for your animatics.

*The smear mode : Get down and dirty with the Smear Mode! Your brush colors will mix with the colors of other brush strokes that it comes in contact with. For example : red + green = brown.

*The new transform tool : The position tool has been improved a lot, in order to move an image, a selection or a mask with your keyboard.

*The peg holes tracker : That new function is pretty excellent for traditionnal animators. Thanks to this new option, scanned sheets can be ligned up quickly and easily.

*Some panels have changed : The Main panel, the Animator panel et and the Tool bin have been improved to be more understable for new TVP users.

*And so much more ! To see the complete list, please have a peek on our website to see What's new on TVP Animation 9.5 ! You can also see all the differences with our previous softwares on this page.
