(even though a program like TVPaint could be used to paint BG layers as well as handling the animation layers.) I've spoken with many freelance animation artists who tell me they would like to do all their work in TVPaint, but they have favorite brushes in Photoshop for painting backgrounds or certain types of textures, so they would be happy if those brushes from PS could be replicated in TVPaint. On productions where animation is done in TVPaint or another program like Harmony, most of the time the background art is painted in Photoshop and imported into the animation program. PS brush tools are what they are familiar with and prefer using. I think the main reason for wanting Photoshop brushes recreated in TVPaint is for background painting or illustration, because most artists in the industry who paint background art for animation are accustomed to using Photoshop. And there are many, many fine TVPaint custom brush sets shared in the Contents Sharing forum if you want various types of pens and pencils for more variation in the line work for animation or additional custom brushes for painting illustrations or animation backgrounds.

There is nothing 'broken' about the TVPaint brushes that necessarily needs to be 'fixed' by the addition of Photoshop brushes. That brings up a good point: the default brush tools in TVPaint work perfectly well for animation.

has translated his PS brushes into TVP, but so far I've only seen him animate/color with the tools TVPaint already comes with.Īaron uses his PS brushes only for painting, not for animation.
