Why does the brush tool generate rough lines?

[coreyc79133729]

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:

I didn't draw those lines zoomed in 1280%. If I did it wouldn't show those rough lines. I meaning being on 400% zoom it's starts to show the rough edges. Here's more but with my pen. You can see how the rough edges scales when I draw at 200% and 400% zoom.

i didn't draw those zoomed at 1280%. Here's screenshots using a pen and smoothing set at 50. You can see how it looks different when I draw from 200% and 400%.

[coreyc79133729]

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?

Hello !

I got exactly the same problem for months and everything I tried doesn't seem to change anything. As the other person said, the problem is the same when drawing with a mouse even without any tablet plugged in.
Animate seems to keep the alisasing of the screen. The only way I found to not have this effect is to draw faster like in the video.

From your video I can tell you're using windows display scaling. This is known to cause issues with Animate, set your screen scale to 100% and try again. If not, use the fluid brush instead, it has a stabilizer slider:

Thank you for your fast answer ! What you call display scaling is just the parameter in Windows display configuration ? I think I'm always at 100%.
But if I put the stabilizer to more than 30% the effect seems to disappear, it can do the job for now thank you ! I suspect my GPU to be part of the problem it's quite old (Nvidia Quadro M2000M) and it often causes me trouble especially in Photoshop.
