krita is like photoshop. it isn't really made for animation. open toonz on the other hand was made by studio gibli and was made for animation from the ground up. I would recommend learning open toonz for animation so you dont have to switch animation workflows midway through your animation journey. @@sumilal5108

Are working for a studion here in the Philippines or you're a freelance artist and getting your personal clients? How's the industry so far? I was in the animation industry way back 1998 to 2008 (traditional artist) as a clean-up and In-betweener. I'm planning to go back and self learn animation digitally, is it going to be a bid adjustment?

Using a vettical timeline is super smart!

It's definitely underappreciated. I love using them on frame by frame animations because you can count the frames easier.

I'm so sick of long videos that are like 2hrs long for what you just covered. Thanks so much. Curious: I'm also new to OT and just went from a drawing pad (used for yrs) to an XP-PEN tablet, and I see in videos that ppl use the whole screen to draw on, how do I do that? So far it just has a mini version of OT on the screen (multiple screens) pc

I'm not really fond of long video tutorials myself that's why I keep my videos short and to the point. As for your question, On OpenToonz, if you click on Windows->Toggle Maximize Panel, (bottom of the menu) the canvas should go full screen. Hope that helps!

if i prefer to draw first with pencil and paper can i scan my work and insert it into this ?

@MharzCreative

4 ай бұрын

Yes. That is possible. There's a "Scan & Clean-up" menu in the software although I haven't explored it yet.

Is there a side frame? Like where the basic body of the character will be drawn and then you can actually draw the details or the main character better in the main frame?

@MharzCreative

9 күн бұрын

What software are you using before? Because I have never heard of this side frame thing before. Not in Toonboom, nor flash, nor spine. Simply just create a level for rough drawings in a separate column and reduce the opacity. That's what I do.

When I try to drag the frames to make hold frames it doesn’t show up. Even when I click on the rectangle.

@MharzCreative

Ай бұрын

I don't know if this works in Tahoma 2D but if you right-click the frame you'd like to stretch out, there's going to be "Edit Cell Numbers" then select "Time Stretch." You can then select how many frames you'd like to the frame to be stretched. Alternatively, you can select the empty frames you'd like to fill and then right-click then select "Fill Empty Cells" Hope this helps.

Alternatively, you can right click on the ex-sheet and select "Load..." and choose the image from there.

Yes. You can drag and drop an image to OpenToonz and it will automatically import. Then you can lower the opacity of the layer it's in so that you can trace it on another layer. Hope this helps.

Arranging the interface is just a matter of clicking and dragging the windows. As I mentioned in the video, you don't need to imitate my set-up and I explained all the interface that I used and how they work so it shouldn't matter how they're arranged. Also watch the rest of the video series where I discussed more interfaces further. You should be able to find it in the channel.
