#Astropad setup software#
Sharper curves seem to appear because the software is reading the current location of the tip instead of the path sketched out, or so it seems to me. You will see that the pencil tip is going in a different direction once the software comes back on. Imagine the pace dropping off and surging. Turn on the Pulled Pencil option and draw a smooth squiggly/zig-zag line.
It drops off then picks up again so the software does not receive tracking information until the pencil tip is further along the arc. The software is not receiving input at a consistent pace. But due to a drop off and surge you see the smooth arc take a sharper turn. If it were only latency, drawing a smooth arc would only be delayed. Somewhere between the contact point of the pen tip/iPad and the computer/software responding there is an inability to keep up, an inability to read the input consistently and an inability to respond consistently. It lags then there is a slight burst to catch up. The software is not keeping up with the Pencil tip. I suspect this is happening because there is too much latency with the Apple Pencil and Astropad. When I turned on the Pulled String option I think it revealed why we are seeing the arcs with abrupt changes and inconsistency. I did not see any beneficial results from that and latency increased with higher figures eventually to the point where the pen was so far behind it could not interpret the pencil movement properly.
I am experiencing the same thing with an identical setup. I just think of Astropad as an interpreter with display mirroring while Cintiqs are actual tablet displays. I don't know how Astropad works with the software we choose to use with it.
#Astropad setup drivers#
I use Macs and there are no drivers involved in using the Astropad/iPad Pro/Apple Pencil setup while there is when using a Wacom tablet or Cintiq. Astropad, Apple Pencil and iPad are an entirely different approach using different technology than the concepts behind Wacom products. At least I recognize them from posts I have read recently. I believe the things you tried based on what you read elsewhere were Wacom specific, if I am not mistaken. Please tell me if there is some setting to try and sorry if this is some sort of duplicate or known bug.
#Astropad setup pro#
I'm using TVP Animation 11 Pro (11.0.6-64 bits) on MacOS Sierra 10.12.5 on a MacBook Pro with TouchBar (15-inch, 2016)
I also tried disabling separate spaces for Mission Control with no improvement. However neither using a small window (¼ of the screen) nor fullscreen have worked for me. I searched the forum for similar problems and found some proposed solutions. No problem in Photoshop, Affinity Designer, SketchBookPro and almost good in OpenToonz.Īlso just fine is when trying the same with Wacom Intuos 4 (Driver 6.3.22-3). Other software seems to deal well with the same kind of strokes. This appears only when drawing with rather quick strokes. They appear angular and spiky (see the attached screenshot). I have set up an iPad Pro with Apple Pencil connected to a mac with USB using the Astropad app.Įverything works quite well except when I try to draw quick curved strokes. First, thank you for producing such a wonderful tool for classical animation!
