cant erase brush strokes in toon boom harmony

when the stylus starts a stroke in vector eraser mode: Strokes there dont create nodes at intersections - so they must be somehow figuring out where the intersecting points are: It works when you draw a simple square like that, but when you draw a character and start trying it out - the one in clip paint does the job, while vector overflow in open toonz fails

The one in OT almost never works in practice.

This is a much better/faster way to do it. In inkscape the eraser tool can also erase entire strokes like this: Right now in OT you have to go to the select tool, select the strokes and hit delete, then go back to the eraser tool to continue working. Object mode eraser- very often the artist would require to erase entire strokes of a drawing - every stroke is a vector object. Inkscape allows you to continue previously drawn lines - but unfortunately works at the end points of lines and is very limited.ī. From there on it is easy to erase all the nodes exactly to that point and you dont need to move nodes around to get them to overlap.Īnother strategy with the brush tool is to automatically snap the beginning and end of a line to a closeby node of another line or the line itself (toonboom). But as a second strategy - there is an option in the brush tool - to always create a new node where the stroke you drew overlapped another stroke. Toonboom has two strategies to deal with this. Clip paint studio has it as an eraser tool mode and it works excellently. What it does is it erases the lines up to the intersection point - where they intersect with another line. Erase up to intersection - This can be found in both Toonboom and clip paint studio. These two modes can already be found in other software such as toonboom, clip paint studio and last but not least - inkscape:Ī. My suggestion here is to add two new modes to the eraser tool - when you are using it on a vector level. Very often it does noting at all.In fact almost 80% of the time when you select two overshooting individual lines, nothing happens, or it erases parts of the lines you want to keep. This is where the 'Remove Vector Overflow' command is supposed to come in and save the day. In vector software, we tend to favor line overshoots, because that way we know for sure that our shapes will be closed off and ready for the bucket tool. A good example of this is hair, but it applies to many places in a drawing. Very often when cleaning an ink drawing, the artist will need to clean up line overshoots. This is my second major feature request to improve the drawing tools in opentoonz, after this one:
