Lukas Sketch Panel

A Custom Panel with a collection of tools and scripts for TVPaint.

Note

There's a bunch of very useful buttons that will need explanation, but don't have any. Good luck!

Caution

Some buttons might not work in older versions of TVPaint or non-Pro versions.

How to install

Download Lukas_Sketch_Panel.tvpx and drag it into TVPaint.

Tip

It gets updated pretty regulary, the link above will always be the newest version. See Updates.

Suggested folder structure for projects

Important

• Running Render Selected Clips With XML will prefix exported file and folder names like this: 001_ClipName (unless there's an _ in the ClipName).
• Running Clips to TVPaint Projects on STB/EP01_EpisodeSTB_v001_L.tvpp creates the Shots folder structure with TVP files.
• Running Render to 'Renders' Folder on Shots/EP001_Intro/EP01_001_Intro_v001_L.tvpp will create folders and image sequence Renders/EP01_001_Intro_v001_L/EP01_001_Intro_00001.jpg etc. If you choose the option to render color groups individually it will create a subfolder for each sequence.
