using frame by frame drawing in TBS

hey

i need to make scenes made up by frame-by-frame animations, to have smooth characters, so no cut-out animation…

if i use the pen or brush, when I draw my character, and then say want to modify the lines in any way, with the white cursor that sees individual vertexes or points, there are thousands. I need to have very few of these so i can easily distort/modify/skew my character or even my character clothes.

How can I get rid of the million dots that are making a line when only 3 or 4 points (with curvature points) should do and the line looks same as the one containing million points/vertexes.

thanks,
adrian

This is the Toon Boom Studio forum. You have a better chance of getting a relevant answer in the Animate forum.

Try inking on a different element layer over your rough drawings element layer using the pen tool to get vector lines with minimal points for easy adjusting. -JK
