− | Got a great idea for a new feature? Just add it here, or on the [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=144022&atid=757419 feature requests tracker]. Before you do, please check the [http://svn.voria.com/code/ETL/trunk/TODO etl], [http://svn.voria.com/code/synfig-core/trunk/TODO synfig] and [http://svn.voria.com/code/synfig-studio/trunk/TODO synfigstudio] TODO files for similar ideas. Please add a rating of how essential this feature is to your workflow according to the following scale:
| + | {{Title|Wish list}} |
− | | + | All items are transfered to the bugtracker - http://www.synfig.org/issues/thebuggenie/synfig |
− | #"Well, it might be nifty. To someone."
| + | |
− | #"I probably would make use this"
| + | |
− | #"It's not essential, but I'd really like to have this at my disposal."
| + | |
− | #"Synfig would be soooo much better with this change"

− | === Mathematical functions to animate ===
| + | |
− | (2) If you want to make a waving flag, it would be handful a sine function, tuned with random correctors, for example.
| + | |
− | : -This should generate waypoints each 1, 2, 4 frames or any other step at artist's wish.
| + | |
− | : -When applying a function you can add it to current values, add it to 1st frame values or simply override old values. Perhaps other options (such multiplication) would be fine, too. Something like texture editor in [http://www.artofillusion.org Art of Illusion], perhaps.
| + | |
− | Perhaps it would be useful reusing the [http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/ Octave] source code to parse mathematical expressions.
| + | |
− | I have rated this wish with a '2' because undoubtly many users will not be familiar to mathematical concepts, but for those who will be, I'd rate it with a 4. It would be possible to make a ball describing a parabolic moving in no time.

| + | |
− | : dooglus can probably chime in better than I here (see his example of balls on mathematical paths at http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YTpSfUthuVE ), but I believe that this is already possible. Synfig does support a variety of mathematical transforms for parameters, although the way you do this is by no means intuitive. (You might also want to check out the preambletaffy.sifz example for an easier approach to a waving flag. I know you were just using that as an example, but for the record...)

− | === Warning about editing bizarre things in animate editing mode ===
| + | |
− | (3.5) It seems to have little sense animate certain things like Blend Method or Type of Feather. It would be very nice that the program asked comfirmation if you change these attributes in animate editing mode. If you do want to, you would have three options: "Yes, never ask", "Yes, never ask for this attribute", "No". I guess that internally, this attributes has integer type (or something like that) and the attributes that you normally want to animate, float type, so I think that this feature is relatively easy to implement. My English is not very good, so please feel free to fix this post.

− | === General outline / Polygon-based Outline / "Set Tangents to Zero" button ===
| + | |
− | (3.5) I'm no artist, thus my primary form of art is stick figures, not to mention, many interesting animations are done in stick-figure style. Stick figures must be perfectly straight to get the effect across, so when I'm making an outline using B-Curves, it is too time consuming to set the tangents to 0 each time. Similarly, outlines of other shapes like squares, circles and so forth would be very useful. Whichever of the above is easiest, please implement right away. --[[User:Dragontamer|Dragontamer]] 02:35, 19 November 2007 (EST)
| + | |
− | : For perfectly straight lines, click without moving the mouse. You will get a single point with no tangents. Outline shapes would require some development, particularly with some thought given to backward compatibility. A workaround you might consider is to create a duplicate shape with a different color and make the top one slightly smaller, so the outline of the one below shows.

− | === Bones with FK & IK + grouping of objects into folders ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | (1) Bones cane move specific vector assigned to them or the bones can have envelopes that move the vectors within their field of influence, much Like Anime Studio/Moho does. It's quite a time saving process of animating. Objects created can be saved into separate groups or folders using the same system as Anime Studio/Moho -Shadowphoenix 27/8/2007

− | | + | |
− | === Copy & Paste/Image Importing ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | (4) I sometimes make graphics in other programs, or use clipart and other images. Would it be possible for Synfig to be able to import images and/or copy and paste them?--Khlieeq 2007-07-19
| + | |
− | Well, it doesn't support Copy & paste from the clipboard, but you can import images using "New Layer -> Other -> Import". This will create an Import layer, for which you can then edit the properties to point to the file containing your image. PXEGeek. 2007-07-19

− | === Animated sketch ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | (1) it would be great, if the tool Sketch will return and it will be animatable (for example, in a form of a special sketch-layer). --Zelgadis 2007-06-14
| + | |
− | <br>For the first part of the request, note that the sketch tool can be re-enabled using environment variables. See [http://wiki.synfig.com/FAQ#Where_did_the_polygon.2C_draw.2C_sketch.2C_and_width_tools_go.3F| FAQ] for details. [[user:pxegeek|PXEGeek]] 9/26/07

− | | + | |
− | === Recursive Waypoint Manipulation ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | (4) it is really tiresome to revert changes to waypoints created by manipulating tangent/position ducks or change their interpolation functions. making it possible to right-click-modify the waypoint shown for objects that have some waypoint in a referenced sub-object would be great! -- timonator 2007-06-01
| + | |
− | :You can do it in two ways: changing the interpolation method of the waypoint of paste canvas or editing the keyframe properties. The first allow to modify the waypoints interpolation method for all the waypoints of all the parameters of all the layers that are inside the paste canvas layer. You can right click on the left or right part of the waypoint to edit by a context menu the left or the right interpolation method of the waipoints. The second method would add and modify all the parameters that have any waypoint in the animation. See [[Keyframe]] for more detail. --[[User:Genete|Genete]] 13:10, 29 October 2007 (EDT)

− | === Automatic colour palette optimisation ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | (0) it would be nice to use libcontrast [http://david.navi.cx/blog/?p=132] [http://david.navi.cx/blog/?p=94] [http://david.navi.cx/blog/?p=99] [http://svn.gnome.org/svn/xchat-gnome/trunk/src/libcontrast/] to automatically adjust selected or all the palette items for best visual contrast. It would also be interesting to have a layer that uses this code to filter the image.

− | === Tweening for images developed in other imaging programs ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | It's obvious I am a beginner at image movement, but morphing is not enough: movement across the page is needed. Thanks for listening. [[User:Comwell@bellsouth.net|Comwell]]<br>
| + | |
− | Imported images can be moved across the page. They can also be scaled, rotated and deformed. Was there a specific example you had in mind? [[User:Pxegeek|pxegeek]]<br>
| + | |
− | :I also would like a way to tween images that have been drawn in other programs. I've had trouble drawing with Bline tool and the drawing tool in Synfig, and I'd rather just draw with a paint brush (like the one in Photoshop). Another problem I have is that Synfig tends to shut down on me every 20 minutes or so, and it's really frustrating even with the auto recover feature, because my sketches disappear. It'd be nice if I'm able to draw all of the keyframes in Photoshop or another image program and import it to Synfig so that Synfig can tween and animate them. Thank you. [[User:xychefoo@gmail.com|Huina]]
| + | |
− | ::You CAN use images, drawn in other programs. Just select "File->Import" from [[Canvas Menu Caret|canvas menu]] --[[User:Zelgadis|Zelgadis]] 01:39, 24 November 2007 (EST)
| + | |
− | :::But how do you animate using images from other sources? I tried to make 2 keyframes with 2 different images, and it doesn't animate. It just stays as 1 picture for the entire render. The closest thing I saw to importing images from another source into Synfig and having it animate is the Walking Cycle Tutorial, but I would still have to trace the images to make it animate. As I said earlier, I'm not entirely fond of using the draw/Bline tool. [[User:xychefoo@gmail.com|Huina]]
| + | |
− | :::: Huina, there's no way to do what you want right now. Interpolating between two images that are not created in Synfig is well beyond its scope right now. However, what you could do is take an image and separate elements of the picture onto different layers (e.g. have a picture of an arm and another of the rest of the body) and you can move those around, stretch and rotate them. (If you're familiar with the work of Terry Gilliam on Monty Python you'll know what I mean) I don't know how feasible it is to implement your request (I suspect some heavy lifting). We'll keep it on the list, but don't hold your breath. [[User:Pxegeek|Pxegeek]] 19:57, 24 November 2007 (EST)

− | | + | |
− | === Auto-link option in [[Draw tool]] ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | (4) so that you can draw a line, and have its endpoint automatically link to a duck - or if Auto-connect is off, you can get a line object linked to the end of another line object. / I missed this too, it even should be like that by default I think. [[User:Maxy|Maxy]] 13:22, 25 Apr 2006 (PDT)
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | : Isn't this done already? We don't have line objects, but blines are automatically linked to if auto-connect is on. Am I missing something? -- [[User:Dooglus|dooglus]] 17:29, 27 September 2007 (EDT)
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ::To clarify dooglus' comments - If you have an outline created by the draw tool highlighted in the layer dialog and the <b>auto-extend</b> checkbox is checked, then you can continue drawing with the draw tool in that same layer. Blines created with the Bline tool cannot be extended once a different tool or layer is selected. [[User:Pxegeek|Pxegeek]] 23:46, 12 October 2007 (EDT)
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ::: A line is a line - Synfig doesn't remember whether it was created with the Bline tool or the Draw tool - so you can extend blines created with the bline tool using the draw tool. Just make sure the line is selected (so that its ducks are visible), not looped (so that it has end points to extend from), enable the draw tool, check 'auto extend' and start drawing at one of its end ducks. [[User:Dooglus|dooglus]] 05:47, 13 October 2007 (EDT)
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | === Arbitrary Color Channels ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | — The ability for the user to create any number of custom channels for various purposes.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | === Autorecover History ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | — It would be great if autorecover could also recover the associated history of a file in the event of a crash.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | === [[Render Settings Dialog#Target|Render target filetype]] (could be a bit of 3, and much more of 4) ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | — the ability to save as/in the Free/Open MNG (.mng) format [http://libpng.org/pub/mng/]
| + | |
− | ** A partial implementation was committed in SVN r470.
| + | |
− | : It was implemented in svn 986. See [[Render options]]. --[[User:Genete|Genete]] 13:12, 29 October 2007 (EDT)
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | === Layer Convert ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <strike>(4)</strike> (2) — The original intent of this feature request has been solved and documented - [[How_do_I#Fill_an_outline.3F|How do I....Fill an Outline?]] - but it would still be nice to have a way to convert one sort of path layer to another. ''(Downgraded to level 2) [[User:SnapSilverlight|Snap]] 12:32, 17 Jan 2006 (PST)''
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | === Layer hide boolean parameter ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | (3) — An animatable way to remove a layer from visibility and consideration in tools. And as an option, to hide the layer in the layer list while it is invisible. This crosses over functionality from the [[Amount Parameter]], the Show/Hide checkbox in the [[Layers Dialog]], and builds upon it as well, allowing the [[Layers Dialog]] to dynamically unclutter. ''(This feature request is a refactoring of the [[Amount Parameter]])''
| + | |
− | : With the addition of the [[Convert#Switch|Switch]] type conversion it is not needed this feature request. You can convert the Amount parameter to a Switch value and give 0 and 1 to the Linked OFF/ON values. --[[User:Genete|Genete]] 13:20, 29 October 2007 (EDT)
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | === Vector fill bucket ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | (3) — Like the traditional bitmap fill, but this fills the area clicked out to the nearest boundary paths with a region of that area, set to the foreground color (it actually would create a new [[Region Layer|region layer]]). <p>Alternatively, a single-duck layer object, that performs a simple bitmap fill from its (animatable) location, with its stored color value. (This second approach is similar to the behavior of one of Softimage's TOONZ[http://www.google.com/search?q=softimage+TOONZ]'s tools)</p><p>If this is implemented, it will probably be necessary to change the existing "fill" tool's name and icon to a "color injector" (hypodermic needle / turkey injector icon) tool, as that's closer to describing what it does.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | === [[redraw tool]] ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | (4-5) — Intutive reshaping of path-based layers. See link.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | === [http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/ Gnome HIG Compliance] ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | — This should solve all complaints about the layout, without requiring Synfig to be "just like program (x)". See [[UI Reloaded]] for progress on this.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | === Feedback for [[Smooth Move Tool]] ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | (3) — This tool does what a lot of folks are looking for, warping selected ducks in a "soft" fashion. But it's not very obvious what sort of effect it will have, from the tool's interface. It needs some sort of momentary center-of-action and radius indicator at the very least. Perhaps an "influence gradient" overlaid on the canvas once Synfig's core is sped up?
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | === Networkability ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | (2) — Like Inkscape's "inkboard" feature (using Jabber), or Blender's Verse server [http://www.blender.org/modules/verse/index.php], or OpenCanvas's Networking option. This should probably farm off all the networking stuff to the telepathy framework so that synfig doesn't have to deal with all the account/etc issues.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | === Riding ducks ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | (2) — Not chocobos. The ability to link a duck from one shape to an arbitrary position on another path, without creating an extra shape duck on that path.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | === Intuitive tangent modification ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | (3) — (BBQ Pulled Duck) Inkscape has this for still handles - basically, grab a section of the spline between handles, and pull it around, the program automatically alters the tangent handles to match. What would be really neat is if you could do the same for temporal handles - be able to grab the spline between keyframes, and yank it around, and have Synfig automatically adjust the key interpolation to match. Not sure exactly what the workflow in the UI would be for this, however.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | === Plugin API ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | (1) — Would be nice to enable additional functionality to be added to the program without it necessarily needing to be in the Synfig source tree. ''According to the Synfig 0.61.01 roadmap on [http://deepdarc.com/ deepdarc.com], there is a plugin API already implemented. So instead, this may be a [[Wiki Wish List|Wiki Wish]] for documentation, depending on how much has already been completed. [[User:SnapSilverlight|Snap]] 19:57, 13 Jan 2006 (PST)
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | === Python support ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | (1) of some sort will no doubt be demanded by the userbase eventually, for studio-specific automation of tasks, noncompiled plugins, etc. I ([[User:Snap|SnapSilverlight]]) don't have any particular use for it at the moment, tho'.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | === mod_synfig ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | (1) — For Apache. Render .sif to some format like png/mng on access.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | === synfig nsplugin ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | (1) — Let Mozilla and Mozilla-based view synfig files in-browser.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | === Image filmstrip import ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | (2) — Allow import of a series of images (TGA, etc) as frames of an animation, on a layer. <br>
| + | |
− | Response - 'lst' files of a list of images can be imported. I've used this to develop a walk cycle. See [http://wiki.synfig.com/Walk_Cycle Walk cycle] for an example. [[user:pxegeek|pxegeek]]
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | === Bitmap Objects and Backgrounds ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <s>(5)</s>(0) — Simmilar to the above but for more than for just purely bitmap based animations. I feel that the to do production quality animations you need production quality backgrounds, foregrounds, and effects. Many of which are very difficult or even impossible to achieve with vector based graphics. I suggest support for alpha transparencies as well to make this truely useful. An example of how this could be used would be a bitmap background and a bitmap foreground that can be panned as the scene moves.
| + | |
− | ::''Static bitmaps with alpha are possible already, if that is what you mean. I have just documented it in [[How do I]]. [[User:Maxy|Maxy]] 06:35, 9 Apr 2006 (PDT)''
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | === Align function ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | (3) — Align objects at a common border (as in Inkscape)
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | === Improved SVG import ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | (4) — Currently, all importing an SVG does is render it in ImageMagick. What I want is the ability to import the SVG document so that all the shapes, etc. of the SVG document show up as their equivilant synfig layers - i.e. if I had put them there myself. I'm trying to write a patch for this but the codebase is mostly undocumented. [[User:KMeist|KMeist]] 16:38, 25 Feb 2006 (PST)
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | === Gradient Paint Tool ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | How about a tool that can 'paint' a gradient object. For example the options would be width and gradient type, one would make a stroke with the tool and the gradient would be automatically applied inside of the outline (set by width). This would save the trouble of having to the all the encapsulation stuff. (Actually any tool that makes creating gradient one step would be good).--[[User:Triclops|Triclops]] 09:52, 9 Aug 2006 (PDT)

− | | + | |
− | === Character Animation Tools ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | I have seen some interesting methods for helping character design/animation in different 2d/3d software. Hash's animation master has 'poses' which are extremes of a model, for example smiling and frowning, once you add these extremes ot a set you can use slider to create a pose that somewhere inbetween. The real power of this is when you have serveral different poses on the same object, a face say, you can easily come up with new facial expressions. Maybe something similar could be done with synfig using layers and groups, the implementation could something similar to Moho's switch layers. --[[User:Triclops|Triclops]] 09:52, 9 Aug 2006 (PDT)
| + | |
− | : Have you read this tutorial? [[Reuse Animations]]. It is very close to the Switch layer of Moho/Anime Studio. Also You can change the Canvas parameter to any other canvas dynamically in the time line by clicking on it and selecting other exported canvas. Other option is convert the canvas to a Switch type and alternate between two different canvas. --[[User:Genete|Genete]] 13:26, 29 October 2007 (EDT)

− | === Another character Animation Tools ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Bone system with inverse kinematics, very important for quick animation. You put bones on a drawed man and you can animate him like a puppet. I'm using that in Moho (lost marble product).--[[User:Ziolive|ziolive]] 23 Aug 2006

| + | |
− | | + | |

I liked the way as width was changed in Moho (Anime Studio now) - there was a special width tool and holding left mouse button on the vertex and moving cursor left decreasing width value, moving right - increasing. Maybe it make sense to rework Width tool in such way. -- [[User:Zelgadis|Zelgadis]] 2007-09-13

− | === Using Synfig as a portable app ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | (3) This isn't really a feature request (though it could be) but I was wondering if synfig could be used as a portable application (as in www.portableapps.com). Does the windows install require registry access? i really want to use Synfig at work, but I'm reluctant to install it just in case it leave footprints in the regisitry or something, and it would be sweet to use it on my travels as well. Only thing is, I can't test it out at home because I am using Linux.

Some times when the color or channel is to bright or light the slider is difficult to distinguish. --[[User:Genete|Genete]] 14:30, 29 October 2007 (EDT)

− | (3) When colors are quoted as 3 bytes of hexadecimal, you have to convert them to decimal, divide by 255, multiply by 100 to get a number to type into the dialog box. It's painful to match color schemes for example, with the [http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Theme_Guidelines Tango Icon Theme style guidelines]. [[User:pxegeek|PXEGeek]] 3/16/07

− | (3) — It's very difficult to put all the dialogs back where they were when you started the program, if you've closed them. In addition, with many programs, if you've done something with your window manager to take a window's position off screen, this command is sometimes the only way to bring them back.

− | -> I'd like to second this one - especially with the bug where dialog boxes sometime shrink to nothing or offscreen, and no amount of maximizing or minimizing restores them. The only solution is to kill the windows, and none of the combo options in the dialog menu match the default configuration. 4/4/07 PXEGeek
