How to convert from pencil to brush

Hi All,

I have drawings made in another application and imported as swf into TBS. The lines are all 1 pixel wide, that is as if drawn with pencil tool. Now i want to convert them to brush stroke and smooth them a little. If it is just couple of drawings i can do it manually by right clicking ‘convert to brush’ option, but how to convert all frames at once ?

is it possible to apply convert to brush or smooth on all frames ?

Thanks in advance
Kannan

Hi Kannan,

For the moment there is no option to apply the Convert to Brush on multiple drawings at a time.

Hi Ugo,

I suspected that anyway. I am planning to write a robot in java and experiment if it can do the job.

Thanks for the reply.

I have written a small Java program to automate this wrist breaking job over lot of frames.

The program applies ‘convert to brush’ followed by ‘smooth’ for 12 frames within seconds. Unprocessed movie http://dailytoon.googlepages.com/beforePros.swf and after applying the 2 step process http://dailytoon.googlepages.com/afterPros.swf.
