Grids and Guides

It's great that there are default backgrounds available in Flipaclip, but I find I never use the available images. When animating, positioning of drawings is really important, so it would be a good idea if there were some basic grids available as background images - perhaps even a traditional animation grid.


Currently I have to make my own and select them from the background image dialogue - so some ready made ones would be a really nice addition.

grid for drawing perfect lines and animations

so I was thinking we should have a feature added to flipaclip in the next update where there is this grid as shown below where we press the grid option which should be added and when pressed the grid shows up and you can draw freely the grid us

ually helps most people when they draw or make an animation and this would be a great essential tool to help perfect perfect lines and drawing out things such as eyes etc

grid view to help draw

so you know how in flash there's this sorta grid view to help you draw the figures like for example you animating someone doing a dramatic fall you could use a grid to help draw the legs and stuff and line everything up neat could you please consider adding a grid to flipaclip so we can draw better of we are animating action scene I am animator and this would be a great asset to the flipaclip community please add a grid option as shown below

A toggle-able overlay sounds like the perfect solution. Would be great if the transparency could be adjustable. I've sent you some grids that I use.

Hey Ian, thanks for the idea! We where actually thinking of providing an option to show a grid/guide overlay that you can toggle ON/OFF.

Do you have any images or links showing different useful grids/guides to have for animation?
