Open Canvas, Network Drawing

[Kimbo]

Want to draw with people? Then SURE!
Open Canvas allows network drawing in realtime, meaning you can draw with your friends over the globe. Capable of drawing with more than just 2 people, you can enjoy working on each others pieces and teaching the world of art and it being on your friend's screen.
Just simply download this old version of OC, the versions after this OC have had their network abilities taken off.

Iv only gotten it to work with Sansui's IP, but Iv had a go with Sansui and Kdub invited in it aswell, so post here if you are looking for a draw together, sometimes I'm free has im bored alot. So remember just post and maybe someone can post their heads up.

You can even save them as event files, so they are just like video recordings, they can only be opened in OC though:

Some examples of work that was done on networking:

 

[Sansui]

If you need help setting up your router to allow hosting just ask me.

 

[Denu]

Wow sweet I didn't know you could do this. I'd be in but I gotta take care of a few things first.

 

[iristle]

I'm free, is anyone on this?
I can't host by the way.

 

[Sansui]

I'll keep mine running for a while today, prolly till about 8pm to 1 or 3am (est)
69.205.254.123

 

[Kimbo]

ill join too, im bored but i might not draw all the time there, i need to eat and forum.

 

[Hakeem]

Nice program. Looks like it works by sending the drawing data when you draw, making it possible for people with dial-up to use it.

 

[Dionesiist]

My stupidity halts me from actually joining in...

 

[iristle]

uhh, i guess your host isn't up anymore?
Or is there a password? if so, what is it?

This program has bad bugs.

If you disable all layers and turn them back on fast, it can mal align them so art that looked fine (2 people painted) suddenly appears wrong as they layers are not correctly orientated (they are offset).

Also crashes happen quite a bit, when I tried to act as a server it crashed 3 times.

Also lacks basic tools like fill bucket and others and the ability to merge layers with other people who are painting activly (comunal layer).

 

[Kimbo]

This version is rather old, kdub said by around 7 years.

 

[Denu]

Well I installed it and seems to work ok for me. Little confusing but I think I get it. My times where I will likely be on is 6:00 P.M. to 2:00 A.M.

 

[SuPa-]

now if only GIMP had this feature xD I personally only like open canvas for black and white pencil-drawing type things, but this is still a cool feature.

~Off topic~

How do I make transparency without using my tablet? >.<

 

[Kimbo]

OC doesnt support alpha if thats what you mean, its a painting program, not a graphics design program thus you have to cnp your work over a texture or to another program which is what i do.

Phooey on you. I don't see your networked drawing program.

I'm ready whenever someone else is. Jolly good fun I say.

Isn't there an alpha slider on each layer?

 

[SuPa-]

What I mean is transparent brush strokes >.< my apologies for not specifying

 

[Kimbo]

you use the eraser tool supa.

 

[SuPa-]

How? I don't see an option to change the strength of the eraser. And wouldn't that make it so you have to use a different color for each layer? Confused X_X

 

[Denu]

So what do I do? Do I go to Network, then to Show Network Window, and then to Stand By? Bit confused.

yeah and a pity is buggy or limited in areas, the newer versions really kick this ones ass, but they took out the network ability.

 

[Denu]

Ok, thanks I think I got it now. Not really sure cause I haven't actually connected with anyone. Does anyone want to schedule a time? I am good to go at most times I just need some times that would be good for others. I dont expect to go for a really long time I just want atleast to check it out but I could go for longer.

 

[iristle]

Uhh, I would host if i could, but I'll need sansui's help since i have a router, and it won't host no matter what i try.
However, i did something that enabled me to host with wc3 with OC, it might work but i have no one to try it with right now.

 

[TDR]

Hey, anyone up for another round? Especially wulf and sansui. But I'd be happy if anyone but me hosts the session, because I totally suck at computers and shit and I'll most likely burn my computer or something if I try to do it.

 

[Pyritie]

Same here, I only knew about this when the craze was almost over.

 

[Kimbo]

Ill host but my tablet plays up yes and i might not be there as im busy with somethings, try this:
IP: 192.168.1.100
I dont know if thats right, but try it.

 

[Dr Super Good]

192.168.1.100 is local IP werewulf, it will not work.

I am willing to host it thou.

Just /w me on chat if you want me to host one (if I am on and not playing FF9).

 

[TDR]

k, so let's settle on a date and time or something.

 

[Kimbo]

No flaming thankyou, thread cleaned.

 

[TDR]

What? Who flamed who?

 

[Pyritie]

Sansui was just being mad, as usual.
