Description
Toonboom Harmony is a great and powerful software! Considered by many to be the standard in 2D animation and is widely used in many animation studios around the world. You can not only do traditional paperless animation but also cut-out animation and 2D Rigging!Unfortunately, I had to learn how to use the software the hard way when I was on my first job in the industry and as you can guess, it was a nightmare. Lucky for you guys, you don't have to go through the same thing as I did and that's why I made this class for you.In this class, I'll cover all the essential tools you will need in order to use the Toonboom Harmony software for 2D animation as a beginner. Opening the software for the first time can be daunting but don't worry. I will break everything down in detail and at the end of the class, you'll have enough knowledge to start using the software comfortably. The class will cover the following topics:1. Customizing the default Toonboom interface and Preference settings.2. Overlay, lineart, color art and underlay Layers.3. Shift and trace tool.4. Autopatch.5. Deformation tools and Node view.6. Timeline.7. Pen and brush tools.8. Color Palette and paint bucket tool.9. Camera, tranformation tools and pegs.10. Onion skin and advanced onion skin.11. Cutter node.12. Coordinates and control points.13. Library and drawing substitutions.14. X sheet.This is part of a larger plan to release more content covering other topics such as; Character design, 2D rigging and 2D animation. These future classes will put everything you learn here into practice, but first, let's get accustomed to the Toonboom Harmony software and then, we can proceed to the good stuff :)This class is suitable for beginner animators who would like to try out Toonboom Harmony or people who are already experienced animators who want to move to/learn a different animation software. Like I said before, Toonboom Harmony is used on most 2D animated productions worldwide, so knowing how to use the software will be a huge asset to your career in the animation industry.Just make sure to have the latest version of Toonboom Harmony, which is Version 21, a PC/Laptop and a drawing tablet(a mouse is acceptable for this course, but for future courses a simple drawing tablet will come in handy)
