2 years ago In the Pencil2D project, Github issues have a very specific purpose. They are to either report confirmed, individual, unique issues with the program, or to report individual, unique features requests. Their purpose is to providing tracking of tasks for developers, not to provide support to users, we have other channels for that. If you want to post your wishlist of what you would like in the next version, this is not the correct place to do so. Our forums are better suited to discussions about problems you are encountering or for your to post your overall thoughts or ideas for the future of the program (we even have a section for that).
Both @J5lx and I have pointed out problems with the new issues you are creating in this repository. I have tried to make it as clear as possible what these issue are and are not for, but if you are still confused you may ask for clarification on any of my points in a comment here. We welcome people to find ways to improve upon Pencil2D, but creating issues that do not conform with the rules we have laid out for Github issues is a drain on our developer's time and makes it more difficult to track. This is a warning that continuing to disregard these rules may result in your issues being deleted, reported as spam, or you being banned completely from contributing to the repository. I would not like to see it come to that, so I highly recommend you move your future issues/ideas to the appropriate section of our official forum or Discord server.
If you really want to continue posting issues here, they need to fit into one of the two categories I have listed in the first paragraph. In both cases you need to clearly and specifically explain what your issue or desired feature is. You need to have searched this repository's past issues thoroughly to assure that you are not posting a duplicate issue or request. For feature requests, provide examples of use cases and similar features from other programs. For any issues with the program reported, you should follow the template provided whenever you create a new issue, filling out all the specified areas so we can more easily isolate the problem. If it is a visual problem, share screenshots of the issue. Whenever possible, provide specific, repeatable steps to reproduce the issue. If you need examples of what good issue reports or feature requests look like, look at some of the issues files by myself or @Jose-Moreno. No always, but in general they are examples of the structure and level of detail that we would ideally like to see in every Github issue.
As for the actual contents of this issue:
- The purpose of the smudge tool in the vector layer is to move strokes and control points. If you want it to do something else, say exactly what it is you want it to do. However I will say in advance that the tool already has a very clear purpose and I don't see any additional functionality being added to that. A smearing or blurring effect like what is done on the bitmap layer is not possible with vectors.
- Duplicate of #1678
- The focus of Pencil2D is on traditional hand drawn animation. Adding bone support would be a very large amount of work, add a lot of complexity to the project which are both reasons why it will likely never happen. I believe there was some interest in eventually being able to group strokes together on the vector layer but that is likely about as far as Pencil2D will go in that direction. As you mentioned, there are already multiple other programs which do this already, and which are better suited to such workflows.
- As it has been said, this already exists. If you need help with it, go to our dedicated support channels. There has been some work to make more intuitive controls, which will probably be in the next release.
- If you mean change shortcuts, this can already be done in the preferences window.
- The polyline tool will produce straight lines unless you have the bezier option checked, in which case it will produce bezier curves.
- Again you need to be more specific. What's not effective about it? How would you have it work? There will be significant changes to the bucket tool in the next release which will allow for expansion and filling to different layers among other things.
these 7 can make v0.6.7 better than animate.cc ,synfig,or blender
Honestly, that's not our goal. We see Pencil2D as simply a tool as part of a larger collection of tools designed to fulfill specific needs within the animation area. We will never do vector animation as well as synfig, or 3d animation like blender, or cloud integration like animate.cc. Trying to be the one and only program for everything is well beyond the abilities of our meagre volunteer development team, and would result in an unwieldy, unusable program.
ghost
1.need to increase functionality of smudge tool in vector layer 2.fix error in filling on vector layer (i know pencil 2d focuses on bitmap but it will be great if solved) 3.add a bone tool in bitmap and vector too
