    This video literallly just savd my life when I made drawing -> parent peg setup, then just applied deformeres because I had animated a rig that was combined. All pivots were gone and I was lost on what to do till I found this video's section about needing to change certain properties.

    I don't know if it's because toon boom automatically updated to Harmony 21 Advanced, but for some reason I set up the bones, but then when I try to move them with the normal transform tool as I would any keyframe, it changes the position on the entire timeline, not just that keyframe. makes no sense. Anyone understand/have a fix?

    Hi, Onionskin! Have you heard the news? Oli could supposedly recreate Jason Shleifer’s IK setup in Harmony! He says it can even work with deformers! As for the keyframes on drawings... well, in some cases they are quite useful. For instance, I make drawings for my colleagues that act like controllers like in a 3D editor.

    You really should have an input displayer on your videos. You press a lot of shortcuts and this would be 1 THOUSAND times easier to follow if we could see, then reverse study what you are inputting. Just a heads up, both my wife and I are getting extremely stuck on probably simple things because I'm still in the learning the program phase and I do not know what shorcuts you are pressing. 9:25 - 9:38 being the prime example. Your keyframes look totally different to mine. Mine are linked and coloured red and black. Please please add a input display for your videos, and have your preferences set to default to avoid confusion as it seems clear to me a lot of your preferences to do with keyframes are doing things you are used to, but not what a newbie would see.

    My bro, thank you so so much!! Could you please help me in a question? I'm doing my own Rick Sanchez rig for studies. I've 3 Layers: Trunk, Coat Front (his lab coat haha), and Coat Back... But I actually dunno how to deform his Body in order to give his upper body a Spine look, and his Lower Body a Garment look and smooth/nice deformation, without lines overlapping to each other. Tried Everything... Deformation Fold, Kinematic Output, Envelope Deformers, Bezier Deformers... Nothing works properly as I want... Its almost 8am here in Brazil, and I cant figure out what to do :( So I imagined that I'd need his spine/upperbody to curve in 3 points, for body shape... But when I parent to the Coat Front, the lines distort... Then I tried to do 3 deformers lines for the lower part of the lab coat, linked to Coat Front and Back, and nothing worked :( The sides works fine, but the inside part (back, depth) of the coat, dont distort properly.... So if I animate my Rick rig bending his spine, his coat dont distort as expected :( Cout you please help me? Please? Thank you so much! Mauro Cordeiro (Animator and Musician)

    Hello, when I use curve deformation, the color art layer goes beyond the line art layer. Even if I move it a little, my drawing gets distorted. I couldn't find any solution :(

    Assuming I'm reading right, this is usually just the working view processing things to keep the file fast. Try render view and you may find that everything's actually fine in the final video. Nevertheless, if you want it to play well in working view as well it's due to the amount of vector points in the shape. So if you use the white arrow to add a handful more to the edge you should find it fills in snugly

    I know this is an old question, but this might help others. You can do it in both orders as long as you know what you're doing. You may first draw all your art, move the pegs to where your reference indicates and then move again the art (with "apply to line art and colour art" on), or you could first move your peg and drawing layer and then draw in the right place. It depends on your process. Sometimes you may draw all the art of the character without worrying about pegs, herarchy or deformers and later place it in the right place where it should be. You may also rig entirely the first view of your character, then move your pegs in order from those on the top of the chain of command, pose your deformers and then make your new drawings (and create their new deformation chains if needed).

    @shane99332 жыл бұрын

    I'm really confused. At 9:20 you're talking about pre-keying your rotation. In my experience, you do a 3QF view and all its pivots first. Then by animating and deforming into your next view you create your new drawing and replace it with the next views' image. That way the pivot goes exactly where you want it as well as being able to keep the new/old deformers overlapping as much as possible. Not that I'm saying your way is wrong or anything it just seems overly complicated to me. (I've also never seen anyone use this method before).

    You’re not wrong. What you see here is a mix because we’re demonstrating layer pivots with drawing substitution for angles. A lot of modern rigs will recycle the same image where you would indeed draw first then animate into position. I showed this way as a step because many will forget and draw new angles with the pivot in the wrong spot, and correcting it layer can be annoying. I respect your feedback though and probably could have gone about this a better way

( i'm thinking about One minute animation with 5 diffrent backgrounds and characters) Second: my character is smoking a Cigarettes, how can i animate Cigarettes burning and smoke rising from it? Third: How can we show the wind and storms with EFFECTS? Thank you again because there is not any tutorials in Persian for toon boom harmony and i learned so many from you.
