![]() ![]() I didn't use the CTG layer, just the standard Fill Tool. If I were to recommend one of them then I'd recommend TVPaint Standard. Here is a comparison image, one is from TVPaint and the other is from Retas, but can you tell which is which? I was surprised by the result.* Not a problem unless you're a perfectionist and it's certinaly better than using the CTG layer in TVPaint but I mark it down nonetheless since this is about producing as close as possible an identical image to Retas, which it failed to do. Unfortunetely it is not as accurate as Retas or TVPaint, CACANi will only fill up to the central vector line, not the vector stroke. However, you must make sure all your lines and regions are closed, I suspect any time saved during the color process is negated due to this, there are no automatic gap closing features like in Harmony yet for the fill tool. Something I thought about after I finished was mimicking the Extender Tool in Retas by using a Smudge Brush, that would save time since if you spotted any unfilled areas later you wouldn't need to color pick but rather just click and drag the color.ĬACANi was rather simple being vector, only one error right at the end due to a messed up stroke close during cleanup. It is the easiest to manage of the three, any errors can be corrected with ease due to proper layer management. It was just as accurate as Retas, to the pixel, due to the way I 'absorb' separation lines to create shape masks. TVPaint was interesting, I kept getting a mental block as I had more than just clicking areas to think about. Any unfilled areas are quickly filled with the Extender Tool which can pull color into unfilled areas only, that saves you from having to color pick and fix carefully. ![]() Retas is clearly built for this stuff, there was quite literally nothing to think about other than what color separation line you wanted to replace. Harmony failed completely here, I can't even begin to replicate a Retas workflow with it, it actually annoyed me a lot and suddenly felt like I was using something from 1995. I made these three videos comparing TVPaint (Standard), CACANi and Retas in a time trial by painting the same anime style image. TVP (fill the shadow lines layer with the same blue to create a mask and 'absorb' those lines as part of the shadow shape):įor Krita (any dev really) I'm compiling some stuff together. But I lose control over what color the shadow can be. The only way that I've been happy with so far in TVPaint is to create a mask and then changing the color mode on the shadow line layer. TVP CTG (No AA on CTG or Sketch Panel RGB): ![]() Rounded edges, sudden cornering, sudden straights. On the left is the image from Stylos, on the right is the image painted with PaintMan and being previewed in CoreRetas render window.Įven if I made a TVPaint canvas 10x the size of the original intended format it wouldn't change anything because even if I paint with anti-aliasing turned off I get the exact same result. Those lines may have no AA but once they are rendered in CoreRetas they look smooth. You can set a custom DPI in Retas but I'm not sure it does anything, 72 DPI rendered looks just as smooth as 144 DPI. Can you say anything about Retas' image resolution? Like, is it something more to 4K which later is rendered in 2K, which I suspect? Of course it's easier for software to fill aliased areas.
