I think that using the TLF in the core of the flash player and working on "completing" it would be a major step in the right direction. I can't explain to a client that something as seemingly simple as a bullet point isn't supported. The ideas are always more exciting than actually using the stuff that flash releases. not in rendering but in things like z sorting and many more. half a completed project that has substandard performance. The next thing you know there's 3d in flash. Its the same with many of the improvements flash comes out with. Whats the point of making proweful text improvements but only doing it half heartedly. You can only make use if all new developments if you use flex.
The TLF is also a huge step forward for flash but there is no development that I know of for the actual flash ide. I refuse to use it just because of the 100K library and its poor performance. PLEASE put the TLF into the flash player. Make my wish come true! Double Rainbow all the way! (Coin tossed into the great Adobe fountain) I show the bitmaps so it's clear just how much better a job Toonboom's brush is doing: The first 2 are bitmap, the second two are vector. It's extra noticeable when you get close to the sketch, and that's kind of the point of scalable vector graphics right? Here's some comparisons of the same quick 10 sec sketch. Why not use toonboom then? Everything else Flash does right, that app does poorly so far. I know it's possible to make the Brush better because I've seen it done with ToonBoom vector brushes. For doing hundreds to thousands of quick and dirty sketches at a time, Flash has some great features that over the past decade have made it a better option for me than photoshop. It's like having a ferrari with a steering wheel made of soft play dough.įor single images/painting etc, pShop or painter are great. I realize I'm in the minority but this hasn't even been touched since they made it way back when. Love Flash, hate the brush tool and that's 50% of what I use it for. In Flash you either get crumbly, horrible edges or a smoothed version that is not what you actually drew. SO much better and actually draws what you sketch, not some 'smoothed' shelbyville version of it. Look at toonboom Pro's vector brush tool.
