This was so awesome! Thank you so much for explaining these new features and explaining how to upgrade! (I did it once before but I don’t quite remember everything that I did, (I use a MacBook btw) and I usually don’t upgrade unless it’s absolutely necessary, and it absolutely is in this case!!! I don’t know if video file export options are available in the Mac version, but I have Blender and other software to help convert png images into video files, so it’s no biggie! However, the OCA format option made me pause and do a double take! Because an animation app I use, Callipeg, can export projects as OCA files and they allow me to import 2D animations, layers and all, (with some minor exceptions) into a 3D Blender project! And now that OpenToonz can do the same thing…combined with Blender’s own 2D/3D/multimedia animation, modeling, and art capabilities, I’m ABSOLUTELY GOING TO BE UPGRADING OPENTOONZ, BLENDER (If need be) and any other creative app and software because HOOOOOO BOY!!! AM I HYPED UP ON INSPIRATION!

No. That was renamed and changed slightly in a previous version. The rooms (Basics, Drawing, etc) are just a collection of windows.

Thank you for this. How does this compare with Tahoma?

@DarrenTAnims

Жыл бұрын

They're both pretty similar. I love the extra stop motion features and the perspective grids in Tahoma. And I like that Tahoma isn't installed. You just download, unzip and move the zip folder somewhere useful. And because of this, you can use both programs intermittently.

The big problem with nightly builds is that they aren't release-approved and sometimes aren't even runnable. You can in rare instances lose whole projects doing things like that.

@DarrenTAnims

Жыл бұрын

What do you mean by release-approved? It's very rare they're not runnable, but if they are, then soon after you can download a version that is. And I always recommend not upgrading ANY software while in the middle of a project. That's asking for trouble.

@micmacha

Жыл бұрын

@@DarrenTAnims I mean "nightly" is software development code for "how our project currently is this very second", rather than "a feature-complete version of our project for end consumers". It's perfectly possible to break something down completely, and still have it qualify as a nightly build because it compiled. That's why, on rare occasions, something might break with file system access or something like that, and you could end up with a damaged project (as an example). Sometimes it's OK to use nightly, but respectfully you really shouldn't depend on it. It hasn't been through QA yet!

That's strange. Do you mean that column is no longer shown in the timeline or that it's shown in read and doesn't play or something else? When you add sound or any external asset (sound, image or video) then do choose Import when asked. This copies the audio file to your project. After adding the sound, if you chose Load instead of Import, then deleted or moved the original sound, then it won't work.

If you moved any of the settings files, then yes, that could cause an issue. Before upgrading, I always recommend renaming the stuff folder, which contains your settings.

So it might be best to try again - rename the stuff folder, then install 1.7.1, preferably the nightly build.
