Question

Why does the brush tool generate rough lines?

Even with the mouse, the classic brush tool and fluid brush creates these rough looking lines. You can see it the most with smoothing set to 0. Zooming in makes the rough texture smaller but I need to be zoomed out to draw bigger stuff. Even with smoothing on it still affects the look of the line. I don't think it's my tablet if my mouse is also producing these rough lines.

Specs:

Tablet: Huion Kamvus 16 2021

CPU: Ryzen 7 1800x

GPU: RTX 2060

Ram: 16GB ddr4 (2800 MHz)

OS: W10

Animate Version: 22.0.5

    i'm not sure what you're showing.

     

    but i see this in the ide at 1280% using the mouse and paint brush (size 4)

     

     

    of course, when testing even that minor pixelation is imperceptible:

    No I'm drew those at 400% and 200%. The program is making the lines rough when it shouldn't. I can't figure out how to get rid of it without zooming in so close that you can't draw bigger stuff.

    Hi, without knowing specifics here's a few things you can try:

    • Keep smoothing at 100%. When you have it at 0% it means you have no smoothing at all.
    • Does this happen in other apps like Photoshop and such or is it just Animate?
    • Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your tablet model, this can fix many problems with compatibility; check Huion's website for updates.
    • Many brands have a toggle in the pen display settings to turn Tablet PC compatibility On or Off. Make some tests with it.
    • What's the resolution of your monitor? Are you working with native resolution or are you using display scaling on windows?
    • If you go to File > Preferences > Drawing> Tablet Input and switch between Windows Ink and Wintab, does it improve the line quality in any way?
