  • if PS exported brushes are 1000x1000 and they wont load into the  brush palette do i need to go and edit the exported pngs down to 500x500? or is there a simpler way to do it?

    You would-need to edit them, you can do it quickly with a batch action in PS :)

    Add the composition to the render queue in After Effects, and press render.

  • Hi
    I can't figure something out, got the trial installed at work and when trying to use fill, it fills the whole screen. Should it be detecting shapes/lines on underlying layers, or does it only fill lines drawn with the actual plugin? This doesn't seem to be explicitly stated anywhere. I've been given cel linework from a freelancer using photoshop to animate, they are exporting image sequences of black lines on white. We hoped P&S could help us fill, but it doesn't seem to have this functionality. If we apply P&S to the actual layer or a precomp of the linework, the linework vanishes and the whole layer is transparent. Is this correct or are we doing something wrong? Obviously glad we attempted this on the trial before getting this licensed on the machines.

    You are not doing something correctly as it most definitely detects lines. Check out the Fill Tool tutorial in the user guide in the 2D Animation section: https://aescripts.com/knowledgebase/index/view/faq/paint-and-stick/#2DAnimationTutorials

    Thanks, but do you mean with lines created with P&S in the first place? Yes it works if I draw a circle then try to fill it, easy. But then the imported linework in the same comp (layer below), P&S doesn't detect any fill areas. I just want to make sure this behaviour is correct, as it's not mentioned anywhere that you can only paint bucket it's own lines. Possibly this is so obvious it's assumed, but hey I saw a paint bucket demo and have several sequences I need to get through, of many shapes, and doing this via photoshop is going to be painful. So just making sure I really am not just totally off base on a setting or something. Perhaps I need another separate app for this. Thanks in advance.

    Please watch the tutorial :) It is a smart fill tool that works with any linework.

    You need to use the Plugin Bridge
  • I installed the Bridge. But has anyone actually tried it. It doesn't seem to come up. Also my Paint and Stick plugin for c4d reads as (c4d-Paint-and-Stick-exporter-v1.5-r15-r17-mac) so I'm not sure why its not for r20 and above.

  • I got it. I was using an old Plugin Bridge. Thanks.

  • Very interesting plug in, it's a very cool feature to be able to draw directly in After Effects. (I purchased the Paint Only.)
    It's not very stable though. It crashes After effects quite often, and other times you need to reset your working space in order to be able to see the paint tools again. (Edit : I found out that toggling the "mask and shape path visibility button" makes the tools reappear.)

    You can definitely work with it, but I really hope next version is a bit more stable.

  • Hello,
    I interested in Paint & stick 
    today I installed the trial version to try it before I buy it.
    But it seems to be not working with Redshift, because it gives me fully black images for the sticky pass and id pass.
    I tried to switch to Standard render engine instead just to test it. and it works fine.
    but in my daily work, I have to use redshift 
    Any Ideas to fix this issue?

  • Hey, 
    I looked all over but didn't find an answer for whereas Paint & Stick has the "Write On" animating option, just like AE built Paint does (Paint > Duration > Write on) ? or is it currently supporting only frame-by-frame animation?

    Thanks in advance for your response,

    Paint & Stick is a bitmap tool so it supports frame by frame with onion skin. You can try the free trial and watch one of the many tutorials.

  • Hi Lloyd,

    I've been a great fan of paint and stick over the years, since one of the first versions that I've purchased.
    I've now updated to cinema 4d r23 and the latest After effects, even though I've updated the script to the latest script and installed it correctly the plugin doesn't show up in cinema 4d r23.
    I wonder if there is a workaround or if the plugin is supported the new version at all?
    I'm mainly after 'Stick' for this project (with textures painted in photoshop).

    Thanks
    All the best
    Joao Monteiro

  • piensan sacar más novedades de paint and stick?
  • I did a test with demo, but it seems pressure not works in huion tablets. Any chance of future supporting on other tablets not wacom? Thanks!

  • I feel really dumb, just bought Paint and Stick, go to start watching tutorials, in all of them they just click the show/hide buttons for the brush/swatch palette and the layer selector and it pops up. . When I click them nothing happens. I can't for the life of me figure out why. Tried it in a workspace with nothing else but just default windows, no other scripts. I have "show layer controls" enabled. I applied it on a solid at comp size with no transformations, set frame location folder, and it seems to work. Just can't bring up any of the palette windows to make any adjustments. I am sure I am being dense and missing something obvious, any hints?

    User error as I thought, they are installed as separate scripts, I see now. This is super fun, great plugin, wow!
  • Unable to get trial version working with R23, even with most recent version of insydium bridge. Would happily buy if I could get it to work
  • I just ordered a Mac Mini. Does the Paint & Stick plugin works on the new macs with M1 processor? And does it have any issues working with a wacom one or cintiq tablets (on the M1)? 
    thanks in advance :)

  • How come the supported Cinema versions stop at R20? I see comments re Insydium Bridge, but are there other limitations?

    Have any plans changed to support Redshift since Maxon owns it?
    It's a bit of a dealbreaker for myself and surprised to read comments no support is intended as of Sept 2020. Fingers crossed

  • Can someone please confirm that Cinema 4d Lite is not compatible with the Stick part of this product? Or if I can ask it another way, does someone have a workaround to get the Sticky Pass and the Sticky ID Pass out of Cinema 4d Lite?

    My other question is: Is there a documented workaround to get Stick to work with Blender?

    C4D Lite does not allow plugins so it is therefore not compatible.

  • Best plugin ever! After Lockdown. Only issue is with converting psd brushes. Hangs on dry media every time. Anyone have any luck with that one?
  • Hi, I'm having issues. The Paint & Stick render doesn't seem to match up with the animation properly. It's causing my stuck layer to bounce up and down as it animates. Any suggestions for a fix?

  • Hi...

    I just bought the paint effect in paint and stick , but for some reason as soon as I apply the effect on a solid or anything on the composition, After Effects immediately crashes! has anyone else encounter such and inconvenience? is there a fix to this?

    I am running AE 2022 latest version and, Paint and Stick Ver. 2.1.2e and I have nevr had any issue with my AE or had any crashes before this. 

    Thanx
