Hades Pencil Test - by Rasmus Norgaard

A paperless animation line test animated by Rasmus Norgaard using "Mirage" ( the predecessor to TVP Animation) . This was animated with a Wacom Intous 3 tablet. It was originally posted on the old Mirage forums.  Since Mirage has been sold back to TVPaint Development Co. and has now been improved and updated as TVP PRO 9  I thought it would be good to post this here.  Everything that could be done with Mirage (and a lot more ) can be done with TVP : 

"Joust" Animatic by Mike Koizumi

Found this amazing animatic posted on the TVP Animation User Forum . Animator Mike Koizumi writes:

"This is my first post and I wanted to share with you an animatic I made with the old Mirage program. I used the demo to create this and finished it in three weeks. It features a battle between a griffon rider and an undead dragon rider.

When I discovered that Mirage had been discontinued I was saddened because I had hoped to purchase it to create more animated works. Recently, I learned that the developers of Mirage had created TVPaint ! It looks fantastic and there seems to be many improvements since the old Mirage. I'm looking forward to testing out the demo soon and I'm sure I will be purchasing the software as well."

Kid Rocket Clean-Up in TVP Animation by Jeff Baker

Jeff Baker animated this on paper, then imported to TVP for clean-up.

Stop-Motion with TVP Animation

This is a Clay animation film made by school-age children using TVP Animation. Although TVP is used primarily as a "paperless" animation system for drawing directly into the program with a Wacom tablet, the program also has a video frame-capture feature and onion-skinning which permits Stop-Motion animation. In this film the students made good use of TVPaint's "green screen" chroma key feature to place the fish into the sets for the swimming shots . They also used TVP to add effects animation such as the bubbles .



In addition to frame-capturing the clay animation, they used TVP to animate the titles and the small school of fish swimming in the first shot.

"Le Chat Noir" TVP Animation

A short film animated with TVP Animation (BG's done in Painter) made by students at Lycée technique des Arts et Métiers in Luxembourg.

Here are some scenes done by one of the animators, Rony Hotin :
