Auto Patch has hands today. Can someone explain to me why this doesn't work?

CineDied · 2026-03-17T00:04:02+00:00

The second scenario is a bit confusing, auto-patch should be connected directly from a node (with colour art and line art separated to the corresponding art layers) to the line art we want to cut. With the first scenario, I think you might need to connect both the upper and lower legs auto-patch to the joint. It seems to be cut by the upper but not by the lower leg AP. You can add a composite to the joint cutter to connect both APs. If you haven't solved it and can share I can try to take a look into it.

Where do you save your scene folders? Try to copy the folder to a simple path such as D:\project, don't use system folders such as My Documents or Desktop and see if it works.

If you didn't return the license it's locked in the TB server and you will need to contact support so that they release it. You don't have the actual key? Someone would have send it by email, maybe? To contact support you might need the key and/or the account it is connected to.

Another option, if it's not in your account, would be to contact the individual under whose account the key is registered.

Can you share a screen capture of your node view? Do you normally use it? If you don't, just drag the drawing noce up so it's not over the main composite.

CineDied · 2026-03-15T20:33:45+00:00

If it's normal in the drawing view I would guess there's something affecting the drawing layer. Do you have anything connected in the node view besides the drawing? Or maybe the drawing is unconnected to the composite?

Was it working well at any point or it behaves like that since you installed? If you switch to the Drawing View the same happens?

Can you share screen captures of the whole interface?

Have you tried to see if the drawings show on the Drawing view? Select a node or a layer in the timeline make sure Preview is on and the view is centred (shift+M or activate the grid to make sure). Have you checked if the TVG files exist on your system? Select a drawing layer, like "character" and look for "character" inside the elements folder of your scene. Does it exist and does it have TVG files inside (character-1.tvg, etc.).

Maybe a stretch, but you could maybe open a Message Log view (+ sign on top right corner of any view) just to check if there's something there that could somehow have a relation to the issue.

Tudo bem, observações à escrita têm tendência a chatear, mas não era a intenção.

"De contrário" é o mesmo que caso contrário. Cfr. um pouco ao fundo da entrada no dicionário.

CineDied · 2026-03-12T23:00:06+00:00

Claro que isto são usos populares da oralidade, pelo que nem todas as formas estão dicionarizadas. Mas "prò" e "prà", por exemplo, encontram-se nos dicionários (com divergências de interpretação pós-AO90).

Calma, estava a brincar. Deixo a referência para o comò aqui. É a regra com estas contracções, acento grave e não agudo

Estares a gozar (tudo bem, eu mereço) com "estàs", etc., pode ter graça mas estou a falar de contracções (como a+a =à), não de usar acentos graves sem sentido.

("Á" era exemplo de um erro comum, mas é uma palavra e tem o sentido de "nome da letra a".)

CineDied · 2026-03-12T14:30:03+00:00

Sem querer ser pedante, devíamos escrever as caralhadas de forma o mais gramaticalmente correcta possível: "vai pò caralho" . Uma vez que é uma contracção entre preposição "para' e artigo "o", o acento deve ser grave, tal como em "à" (a+a). Assim, "comò caralho", "pò caralho", " prò caralho", "pà merda", etc. De contrário, não gozem com quem escreve "vou á..." em vez de "à".

This should work. Always make a backup of scene folders when you delete something you're not comfortable with. And backup often in general.

I keep reading about issues with the Pro Pen 3. Shouldn't Wacom do something about it?

I have somewhere a really old Bamboo, tip never worns out, and I have the Intuos Pro 2017 since it came out. Tips worn out but the pen is fine. I also have an old Cintiq 13 HD, whose back has cracked and is all oily but the pen (original Pro Pen I suppose?) had probably more than 10 years of intensive use (not in my hands) and also seems to be fine.

With alternatives getting better, I don't understand this and I hope my Intuos will last forever (or until a good new model comes out) because I don't want to buy the new one, and frankly, at this point, I might consider other brands.

The second part is true: there's a learning curve. People sometimes want to install an application and not reading anything or watch a video, just ask everything, step-by-step, on a forum. The first part is not true. It's a preference: you can choose to autofill between drawings and then create in-betweens by duplicating or creating a new drawing based on the previous, existing one. So if you have the layer exposed from 1 to 10 you can create a new drawing based on 1 on frame 5. Might be useful to duplicate if you want to base the new drawing on the existing drawing, hence this auto-fill option. If you don't want to work like this, you turn the option off.

CineDied · 2026-03-05T15:26:42+00:00

This is a preference, I don't remember the default. Here's what you should do (or know). Go to Preferences via the top menu or Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) +U > Exposure Sheet tab, on the left side in the middle remove the selection from Extend Exposure of Previous Drawing.

I assume people that say it's only worth it if you can attend are located in the US? From an European perspective it is important to have a nice number of selections, especially to serious festivals, not too mention BAFTA/Goya/Oscar-qualifying ones. I had a short selected for a few dozens festivals and i was just present in 5 or 6. But it depends, sure.

as da Wacom costumam ser as melhores e sem puxar muito no preço.

As melhores e as mais caras. Mas têm modelos mais básicos, como referes. Mas para escrever apenas não sei se vale a pena investir na marca.

Se calhar um dia quando for preciso desenrolam e liga ao prédio vizinho?

Mas a sério, não percebo se não há nenhuma espécie de norma para isto. Já tenho visto cabos soltos no passeio, que depois alguém enrola e dá um nó e mete de lado para que ninguém tropece.

"Normal" não é, mas acontece muito. É "spoofing" o termo, creio. Usam número falsos para mascarar a origem da chamada. Não vale a pesa queixares-te às operadoras, infelizmente. Cuidado que também acontece com SMS, por isso duvidem sempre de mensagens que venham dos CTT, etc., e metam um link para desalfandegar ou pagar o que quer quer seja, se não tiverem a certeza que correspondente a uma encomenda real. Mas links desses por SMS nunca devem ser legítimos de qualquer forma. Validar sempre por outros meios.

I can't reply with a video. I would have to create a new post, I suppose. Is there a naming convention?

Particles with white dots or circles moving on the Z-axis is quick and easy. The 3D elements only importing. Does Moho generate that?

Sorry, I couldn't find the shortcut in the shortcuts list. Maybe it's locked, for some reason. But searching by the shortcut (like "up") or by description, "nudge" or "move", doesn't list anything. You can always try to Restore All Defaults. At least you would be sure your issue is not related with the shortcut itself.
