10f/12f/16f - sizes in terms of inches-by-inches?

Hey!, just wanna know. :D Thanks!

Bump! :D
I find it hard to believe that nobody here - presumably, many of you must have worked on one of these sizes of animation paper! - knows the answer. :)

I have no idea but I would guess that the book "Animation Survial Kit" might. I was looking at that thing today and that is one nice book.

Bump! :D

You can do some research for yourself and let us know what you find.

Just a bit of advice ecec; taunting the people you're trying to get information from is rarely an effective strategy.

animationmeat.com has TIFF files of field charts - download one of those and get whatever measurements you need.

paper

I don't think 10F as a paper size is standard. I always just used 12F paper, 10.5" X 12.5". 16F is usually 13.5" X 17". If you have a field guide you could always measure it out and make your own 10F out of legal sized paper. At least it would be close.

The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself. My Blog: Strange Thoughts

Ok I am not clear on what 10f, 12f, and 16f stand for. It looks like it is short hand for the size of the paper, 10 inch, 12 inch, 16 inch.

that's an inch by three-quarters of an inch

so a twelve field paper should accommodate
12 inches by 12*3/4 or 9 inches.

so most of them papers are 13x10.25.
larger leeway for the height because of the peg holes.

look for the rounded peg holes than the square.

man, did i ever meet a lot of these types the last 22 years.
there was one when just raining outside could cause it
to be so limp you can't flip them, another where it's so thick
you can't see past the second one, there was one where
the suppliers over-cut it so much the field guide is touching
the edge, or those punched by blunt blades and the peg
holes still need to be cleared with a cutter, or the paper
that was so slick it literally oozes out from your hands
when flipping.

and there's this perfect paper-- transparent, but not wimpy,
smooth but not slick, and it takes graphite like an old friend.
and it doesn't crack too much under multiple flips.

and when you get back to horde on them at the supply room,
you find out everyone's gotten the same idea-- only earlier.

Don't worry.  All shall be well.
