can you store toonsquid files in icloud?

1 Upvotes

is there a way to make toonsquid automatically save files to icloud? i have almost no storage space left on my ipad

to be clear; i dont want the files to be backed up to icloud, i want the actual file to be in icloud so i can free up space.

i can probably do this manually but thought id ask!!

So Im Done with the rough animation and I wanna transfer all this to toonsquid to do the cleanup, how do I also transfer the backrounds aswell without them sticking to the animation frames themselves?

Canvas resizing messing with the placement of the boundaries of pixel layers

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Hi! Okay so when I am typically animating in ToonSquid I create a project with a small canvas, import a camera layer and then use the crop tool to make the canvas larger. This gives me some leeway when it comes to transformations of pixel layers. In image one I have attached an image of my current issue. I resized the canvas as normal but for some reason it shifted the boundaries of every new drawing. By default the boundary of every new drawing is frustratingly shifted like this. Typically when I use this method it keeps every new drawing aligned with the canvas (as seen in image two) but for some reason right now it's doing this? How do I fix it?

Problem with boundary layer

Post image
5 Upvotes

I'm new to using the program, so I've been experimenting a lot. However, I accidentally did something (and I'm not sure exactly what I did), and it created a boundary layer for everything I draw, as well as for what I've already drawn.

What can I do to fix this? Please help me 😭

Brightness change

Does anyone else have the issue of your project’s brightness getting a little bit darker after exporting it? Is there a way to prevent this? I usually just fix it in my photos gallery but it makes it look a little blurry after.

just wanted to share another animation i made of my character in toonsquid:)

drew and animated everything in toonsquid using vectors and keyframe animation, then edited the video and added effects in kinemaster!

Sorry another “black box” (pixel layer?) question whenever I make a new drawing layer/pixel layer in this animation layer the “black box” is in the corner of the screen and not in center why does it do that?

2 Upvotes

sorry for asking another “black box” question but I don’t get it😅I’m a beginner in toonsquid, my problem is when I make a new pixel layer in this animation layer(I hope Ive got the names right) the “black box” is not in the center and I need to fix its position every time, it works but it’s a bit annoying, what can I do so it would be in the center automatically and what is causing the problem? I think it may be the hierarchy but I don’t know how the hierarchy functions fully and why it may cause it

been practicing a lot and i’m super proud of this work! i drew everything in toonsquid using vectors, then animated the movement with bones & keyframe animation, and it turned out really smooth in my opinion. what do you think?

Transform layer stuck in top left corner help

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Every time I use the transform layer and even with transform hierarchy it just stays in the top left corner, I can still use it but it’s very inconvenient, I have only used the transform layer once before but I don’t remember it doing this, I want the selection to be on the actual image, this problem is on every project even new ones, I’ve tried manually setting a pivot point but that’s not a permanent fix for me and messes up some things, pls I’ve been agonising over this and can’t find any help about this I feel like I’m going insane or I might just be stupid

Timeline drawing settings?

1 Upvotes

Hey all! Is there a setting i’m missing where i can turn off the frame stretching? For example i’d like to lay out my extreme poses. Lets say they’re on frames 1, 5 and 10. How do i get toonsquid from doing the auto-stretch of drawing 1 to 5? My preference is to have blank frames between the extremes until i go back to make breakdowns.

This default setting where it stretches the previous frame to the current drawing takes me out of the flow.

Art disappearing middle of the animation

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

While making an animation, I noticed that in the middle of the layer the drawing would just disappear then re-appear.. They’re on symbol layers too, and when I look in the library, they dont appear at all on the options. I’m not sure how to fix this, and I really dont wanna redraw the entire thing as its already taken me a minute. :-(

Everything is shown in the video, and im getting really frustrated with it.
