In the explanation of the folder structure, "● Dress-up Sengaloid folder structure 1" was adopted.

Describe the creation of an auto action in the case.

• Skip when using "Folder structure 2 of dress-up Sengaloid"

 

● Automation tool: Creation of auto action

◆ E2R Gravi Folder: Simplified tool for explanation: 2 dress-ups

 

◆ Tool for combining two dress-up folders on the top and bottom

The dress-up folder combination tool is the two dress-up folders on the top and bottom.

It is to combine the layers corresponding to each in the layer into one layer.

The layer structure of the upper and lower dress-up folders is the same.

There are multiple arbitrary part folders inside the dress-up folder, and the part folder

The inside is a combination of multiple arbitrary folders and layers, and the number of them is limited.

Not done.

When executing the auto action, the folder used for the dress-up folder is

Keep everything closed.

 

If there are three dress-up folders in the dress-up Sengaloid, the first two

Combine the dress-up folders for the folders.

Dress-up folder 3

Dress-up folder 2

Individual layers inside the dress-up folder 3 are placed on the same layer in the T1 folder.

Copy and combine with the layer below.

At this time, consider the function of the white mask (white solid deepest mask) of the above Falda.

When the combination of all layers is completed, the dress-up folder 3 is deleted.

 

Next, repeat the process for the following folders.

Dress-up folder 2

Dress-up folder 1

 

Furthermore, the process is repeated for the following folders.

Dress-up folder 1

Sengaloid folder

 

Finally, "release the layer folder" for the Sengaloid folder.

E2R Gravi folder: A folder for simplification remains.

 

<Concerns>

Handling of folders with arbitrary names inside the part folder

Treatment that the number of layers inside the part folder is indefinite

 

◆ Handling of white solid deepest mask

In the previous item "◆ Tool for combining two dress-up folders above and below"

• 3: It was stated that the white mask range of the lower layer was deleted, but it was a big mistake.

 

The white solid deepest mask not only affects the layer of the folder directly below, but also

After that, it is necessary to take measures that affect all the layers below.

 

◆ Relationship between the handling of the deepest white mask and the mask of the folder

With the following mask that has the same function as an improvement plan for the explanation of the white solid deepest mask

Create a folder and explain.

 

It is the same as the content described in the following items.

▼ Logical sum: Create an exclusive folder with mask in non-nested format and mask in logical sum

 

◆ Pre-processing and post-processing when combining layers in a folder

Since there are many restrictions on auto action, it is impossible to fully automate it.

If judgment processing or repetitive processing is not possible, it will be operated manually.

Therefore, perform the following processing.

 ·Preprocessing

Individual processing (multiple)

Post-processing

 

◆ Pretreatment

Auto action selects the folder above the two folders to be processed

to start.

In order to clarify the processing target, the folders above the two processing target folders

Create a layer of "★ target top points" on top.

Create the following folder with a different name so that it can be easily deleted in a batch in post-processing.

"★ Target work area" folder

★ Arbitrary folder 1 to n

...

▼ Step pointer_work area

 

◆ Individual processing (multiple)

1: Handling of "arbitrary name" folders in the same row as the part folders inside the target folder

Since the name of the auto action cannot be determined, the folder is manually set in advance.

Performs replacement processing to the layer.

・ "Arbitrary name folder in the same line as the part"

→ "★ Replacement layer 1 of the same part folder"

→ Auto action name: Layer replacement of the folder in the same row as the part 1

Similarly, the same processing is performed for the folders under the target folder.

→ Auto action name: Part under layer replacement of the same row folder 1

• Create multiple auto actions in advance → XXX1 to n

Furthermore, there are the following folders inside the above "arbitrary name" folder.

"Arbitrary name" folder: When distinguishing, it is called Nest 1 Arbitrary folder.

"Unique name" folder

2: Handling of part folders (head, body, hands, feet) inside the target folder

The following folders are also inside the part folder.

"Arbitrary name" folder: When distinguishing, it is called Nest 1 Arbitrary folder.

"Unique name" folder

 

 

3: Handling of arbitrary folders inside Nest 1 arbitrary folders

There are the following folders inside the Nest 1 optional folder.

"Arbitrary name" folder: When distinguishing, it is called Nest 2 Arbitrary folder.

"Unique name" folder

・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・

Repeat until nest n below.

 

4: What if there are masks in the two target folders?

Stock the selection range of the mask part of the folder and all inside

Delete the range for the layer.

The same processing target is applied to the white solid mask.

 

◆ Post-processing

・ Delete unnecessary folders and layers left by preprocessing.

・ Performs the process of returning the replaced arbitrary folder to the original location.

→ Auto action name: Return of replacement folder 1

• Since it is unknown how many folders have been replaced, multiple autos are used in advance.

Create an action → XXX1 ~ n

 

 

◆ Examples of part folders and arbitrary folders

An example of a part folder and an arbitrary folder is illustrated from the figure explained in the following items.

→ ◆ Layer structure of dress-up folder n and Sengaloid folder (details)

Since the folder structure of the dress-up folder n and the Sengaloid folder are the same,

An example of a part folder only for the Sengaloid folder and an arbitrary folder is shown.

 

 

◆ Difference between canvas expression color, layer expression color, and layer icon display

If the expression color of the canvas (basic page setting) and the expression color of the layer are the same

The layer icon that indicates it is not an absolute sense but a relative sense, so it is omitted.

The result is difficult to understand.

 

◆ Differences depending on the layer type of "Join to lower layer"

Because it is not possible to judge whether a layer is displayed or hidden by auto action

When combining the upper and lower layers, the layer type and layer display / non-display

Clarify the difference depending on.

〇: Layer display status

×: Layer hidden state

 

Also, as shown below in another manual, depending on the expression color of the canvas, the layer

The display method of the layer icon changes depending on the expression color, so here

Shows the case where the expression color of the canvas = monochrome as a monochrome manga.

Manual: "Big Field style digital manga technique" Vol. 04 Clarification of layer type

 

Below, I explained the situation of "joining to the lower layer" by layer type, but blindly

It is impossible to combine without specifying the layer type.

Therefore, there will be restrictions on the processing.

<Constraints>

As the state of the process of joining the layers inside the two folders

Move the layer of the upper folder to the corresponding layer of the lower layer.

・ Erase the lower layer in the selection range of the white solid mask in the upper folder.

・ The actual "Join to lower layer" was manually created for each layer type.

Execute with auto action.

 

 

<Vector layer>: VB line drawing, etc.

Layer top-bottom

〇-〇: No restrictions

〇 ー ×: Cannot be executed → Delete under the layer or display under the layer and execute

× ー 〇: Cannot be executed → Delete on the layer or display on the layer and execute

× ー ×: Cannot be executed → Delete on the layer or display the top and bottom of the layer and execute

 

Both are in the "display" state and "join to the lower layer" is performed on the upper layer.

 

Even if you execute 〇-〇, 〇-×, XX-〇 as 〇-〇, the result is okay.

The result is okay even if XX is executed as 〇-〇, but it is unused

A mark remains on the "display". → The question of whether it is forgiven remains.

There are separate commands for layer display / non-display processing with auto actions.

→ "Display layer" on the displayed layer: No conversion

→ "Show layer" on hidden layer: Layer is displayed (naturally!)

<Concerns>

・ Display / non-display cannot be determined by auto action.

Special processing is required for that purpose.

-Manually before work, at the end of the layer name below in the layer search palette

Can it be returned manually by adding "Hide" etc.?

 

<Raster layer>: RB line drawing, etc.

Same as <Vector Layer>.

 

Layer top-bottom

〇-〇: No restrictions

〇- ×: Same as <Vector Layer>

X- ○: Same as <Vector Layer>

X-x: Same as <Vector Layer>

 

 

 

<Solid coating layer>: βBM ■ Black solid, etc.

When you execute "Join to lower layer", the following confirmation message will appear.

Special processing is required to combine masked layers.

 

★ Special treatment for solid layer:

If you select "Keep", the drawing of the upper layer will be lost.

This result is different from the purpose and cannot be used.

If you select "Apply", drawing is OK, but mask processing is lost.

Therefore, adopt this operation and add the following processing.

Select a layer and stock the drawing range.

Create one selection range from the two drawing range stocks of the upper and lower layers.

Right-click → layer mask → mask outside the range.

 

Layer top-bottom

〇 ー 〇: Special processing of solid coating layer

〇- ×: Same as <Vector Layer>

X- ○: Same as <Vector Layer>

X-x: Same as <Vector Layer>

 

<Solid color tone layer>: βTM 85L 30%, etc.

Expression color: Used in color.

 

★ Special processing of solid tone layer:

Similar to the special processing of the solid coating layer

If you select "Keep", the drawing of the upper layer will be lost.

This result is different from the purpose and cannot be used.

If you select "Apply", drawing is OK, but mask processing is lost.

However, it becomes the color of the raster layer and the original drawing state is lost a little.

Expression color: Since it is a color, a color icon is attached.

Therefore, adopt this operation and add the following processing.

Same as the special processing of the solid coating layer

Select a layer and stock the drawing range.

Create one selection range from the two drawing range stocks of the upper and lower layers.

Right-click → layer mask → mask outside the range.

Additional processing

Perform toning with layer properties.

 

Layer top-bottom

〇 ー 〇: Special processing of solid tone layer

〇- ×: Same as <Vector Layer>

X- ○: Same as <Vector Layer>

X-x: Same as <Vector Layer>

 

 

<XXXXXX>: YYYYYY

When there is a problem with "join to the lower layer" other than the layer type explained

We will add explanations here as needed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

● Auto action: In principle

<Three principles of programming languages>

Continuous: A list of simple processes

Judgment: By if (two branches such as Yes / No) and Case (multi-branch)

Judgment route change processing

・ Repeat: A loop that repeats processing and executes the loop by judgment.

Escape process

However, auto action is basically only "continuous" out of the three principles.

There is a dialog display of "setting switching check" that is close to "judgment".

Therefore, when automating with auto action, programming language

If so, it will be realized by mixing manual operation that the processing can be completed at once.

 

If it is a programming language, the explanation of processing is illustrated in a flowchart.

Auto action is realized by mixing manual processing, but this is realized

We will call it "manual flowchart of auto action".

 

◆ Auto action: The overall flow of combining the two dress-up folders above and below

Manual flowchart of auto action

・ Combine two dress-up folders on the top and bottom

・ Reference: Figure xx-xx Example of part folder and arbitrary folder

 

◆ Concept of iterative processing

Auto action cannot be repeated.

The user will manually repeat the required number of times.

That would be inconvenient, so we would have to prepare one for one time and two times, but how many times

I'm wondering whether to prepare up to.

Therefore, in the addition process, prepare a process for 1 to 9 times and a process for 10 times, and 12 times.

When you want to execute it, you can execute it 10 times + 2 times to achieve the purpose.

Pre-processing and post-processing are required before and after execution to distinguish continuous processing.

 

<Repeat processing>

 ·Preprocessing

・ One-time processing

Processing for 2 times

Processing for 3 times

Processing for 4 times

Processing for 5 times

6 times processing

7 times processing

Processing for 8 times

9 times processing

Processing for 10 times

11 times processing = 10 + 1 times processing

...

20 times processing = 10 + 10 times processing

20 times processing = 10x2 + 1 time processing

...

Post-processing

 

◆ Number of processes based on the number of layers in the folder

Create an auto action with the "idea of iterative processing".

 

 

 

◆ Auto action execution table

When executing an auto action, create a list of execution order so that there is no leakage.

<Example>

<Image A>

Auto action (OA) pre-processing

<Image B>

OA simple folder: 2 dress-ups

<Image C>

OA ★ Name replacement layer 1nn Required number of times / multiple Nest N0

~~~

OA ★ Name replacement layer 11nn Required number of times / multiple

(The number of processes from 1nn to 11nn is variable)

OA ★ Name replacement layer 12nn Required number of times / multiple Nest N1

~~~

OA ★ Name replacement layer 17nn Required number of times / multiple

(The number of processes from 12nn to 17nn is variable)

<Image D>

OA ★ Layer combination pre-processing Nest N2

OA ★ Combine upper and lower layers X Required number of times / multiple (in multiple folders)

<Image E>

OA ★ Name replacement layer return 12nn Required number of times / multiple nests N1

~~~

OA ★ Name replacement layer return 17nn Required number of times / multiple

(The number of processes from 12nn to 17nn is variable)

OA ★ Name replacement layer return 1nn Required number of times / multiple Nest N0

~~~

OA ★ Name replacement layer return 11nn Required number of times / multiple

(The number of processes from 1nn to 11nn is variable)

<Image F>

OA ★ Layer combination in folder finished

 

 

Because the auto action cannot be judged or repeated in this join process

Manual processing is involved at the discretion of the person.

Actually, use the list of auto action sets to make matters scheduled OA

Check it. This is the actual execution table.

 

● Auto action creation: Example

First, proceed to use "Folder structure 1 of dress-up Sengaloid"

It came. Combine the folders in the dress-up section to create the basic structure of the character at the bottom.

If not unified, it can be used without the need for auto action, but unified

In that case, the auto action as explained is required.

 

★ Design change:

However, "Folder structure 2 of dress-up Sengaloid" is more auto-action.

Since it is easy without using it, there is a possibility that further problems will occur at the time of creation

Creating an auto action with "Folder structure 1 of dress-up Sengaloid"

The creation is temporarily suspended here.
