Randomize line width and rendering strokes seperately

[PatrickS]

Hi everyone, I was wondering if it is possible to randomize line width, to give the lines more life? I can't find an option in the program, does it exist? If not, is there a script done by somebody that does this?

Also, I'd like to render my strokes seperately. In the project settings you can say: "Stroke style; None", which works great for rendering your colors seperately. But if I say "Fill style; None", it makes my fills transparant, showing lines that I don't want to see. Maybe there is a way to turn all my fills white with one button click?

Another thing I was wondering, what is the use of "Style 2", in the advanced style settings? It just overrules style 1, when I apply it.

Fill style: background is the one you may use. Set your BG colour to white in the project prefs. In an editing software (or in TVPaint) you could make the whit BG transparent again.

I don't know about random line width, but with certain settings yoe get the same effect with multiple outlines set to noisy.

This allows you to create two separate styles, one for the fill and one for the stroke. So you could, for example, use the same stroke style for all shapes, while having different fill styles.

Here's good overview on how styles work: AS styles window

OK, got it thanks! Slowtiger, no idea how I could have missed that one, but it works like a charm!
