It would be helpful to be able to see previous costumes when drawing a new one, so animations can look neater and such. I've had trouble finding an inexpensive, good program with this feature (i.e. and 700 USD Adobe Flash Professional tongue ) ... that is all.

Toasty · 2009-01-03 09:28:00

Yeah, that would be a good idea. But quite hard to implement, don't you think? I don't know how much work has been done to the paint aspect so ...

JuiceyBox · 2009-01-03 09:29:30

That's true... and if the Scratch team doesn't (thankfully) have time for chatrooms I doubt they'll have time to perfect onion skins. Oh well. D:

Why Onion Skin? There is other things needed in this little paint feature that scratch has. For instance, multiple text boxes. Perhaps fix the glitch with the ' I ' being a capital letter in fonts less then 9.

Until they get most of the basic things fixed and done with they should then look into implementing better features.

If you want that for animation, try Pivot. It's free and Very Easy!

Also, nice suggestion. I feel that an Onion Skin feature would bother me and get in my way...

Why not make the Onion Skin Feature be able to be turned on and off? Also @Nick60 - Sometimes having one textbox is a good thing

What does this post have to do with the "Onion Skin" feature? Please post to the appropriate threads.

bosox_test · 2009-01-03 20:30:10

To paddle: I bet his sister probably posted that

To this thread: You can kinda do this already. first of all, u copy the last costume and add on to it and you move the box in which u paint in in order to see the other costumes.

Onion skin?
How about a better overall drawing tool first?

If you want online skin you could try making pictures in GIMP and importing them into scratch.

This isn't Gizmodo, your "@" quoting won't work. Just use the quote button.

Also, what are the advantages to not having a "new text box" button?

I love Pivot!
There is a very easy way to see the last costume: Copy. You can then edit accordingly. This thread seems to be getting a little off-topic...

I do it anyway, and I can't see it going any faster than Onion Skin, if it existed.

@big-bang: The only problem with that is after you clear the underlying image, you can't see what it is anymore.

@Technic20: Pivot only uses stick figures limiting the ability of what you can animate greatly.

Why is there an @ all over that post?!

Buddy_ca111 · 2009-01-04 22:58:44

My sister posted that. She got into trouble for that.
@Jamie - I say @ because to me @ means at so when I say @Jamie I mean at Jamie

I think Onion Skin would happen later in the scratch programming. After all the bugs get fixed

Huh?

If you post a comment on Gizmodo, typing "@username" makes a link to the last post that [username] wrote. Just saying that the Scratch forums doesn't seem to do that.

Why does your sister even know your password?

Baisically, @(username) means you are talking to that person. It's like replying to someone without quoting them.

pingupingu · 2009-01-05 22:26:17

if you use a mac, you cannot use pivot.

other than that, its amazing!!!

p.s. why do you talk so much about buddy_ca111's sister?

Buddy_ca111 · 2009-01-07 02:26:16

My sister did not know my password I left this up when I went to the bathroom. She posted and when back to the main forum page. I'm not that smart. OK?

JuiceyBox · 2009-02-16 17:24:28

Tons of replies o_o
Pivot isn't exactly what I'm looking for... it's a stick figure animator, thus it probably cannot achieve what programs like flash can.

I know that it's not legal at all, but you can download it for free... full version... Try On Recognizing Raccoon's Elemental and Natural Talent (BIG LETTERS)

filo5 · 2009-02-21 15:29:28

You can start changing interface from moving stage to the center of program (like in Flash). Also, the layers feature will be good at all. There are only two commands:
[blocks]<go to front>[/blocks] and [blocks]<go back( 0 )layers>[/blocks].
In 1.4, there MUST be better way to control layers.
