Multi-Level Painting for Limited Animation
Today's budgets are forcing more animators to do more limited animation, with the characters spread across multiple levels to speed up the drawing process. But duplicating lines on multiple levels looks bad and trying to paint right up to the edge, when the edge is on a different level can be pretty tough. So FlipBook uses it's Light Table to let you see the lines in all the related levels while you're painting. The current level is displayed in black and the other lines that help make up the character are displayed in pink. When you click inside the black lines the fill also stops when it hits a pink line from another level. This makes painting multi-level drawings a piece of cake and "paint to" lines are a thing of the past.
