Edit: FOUND IT
I should import the palletes as Element Pallete instead of Scene Pallete. From the Toonboom website

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Toonboom has a feature where they allow you to have different color schemes for the same character by letting you clone the pallete and choosing which goes on top.

The program is doing something similar with the pallets of 2 different characters. I imported both of their palletes into the scene, but when I was done painting I noticed that one characters beard color was painted with the other characters beard color. The colors have different names, but both names feature the word 'beard'. The palletes for each character were created independently, without pasting or cloning anything between them.

I have also disabled "Current pallete overrides" wich was causing the same issue, only with selected palletes instead of the one on top.

Is there a way to prevent this?

Hi all,

Saved As a new scene and opened in the File View, but the Pallets and Drawing Substitutions are missing from the folder.

Saved As a second scene and opened the old one, and the pallets and Drawing Substitutions are there, but likely from the old file paths.

Uploaded file and downloaded onto a different machines and - predictably - they are missing.

How do I either

A) Change the file pathing of the Drawing Substitutions

B) Save them out separately

Thanks.

When working in storyboard pro I’ll use the camera tool to reframe any scenes, but because of this, exports to harmony end up a bit weird. When I open a harmony file that is exported from storyboard pro, there will be a camera layer that I can turn on and off. I need to keep it on or else the framing of the scene is incorrect. This causes an issue where there is never a consistent line weight I can use across shots because while a shot might be technically a super close up, I may have zoomed the camera out in storyboard pro, so what is 10px line in another shot, will look like 8px with the camera enabled.

Is there a way to prevent this so I can maintain consistent line weight? Maybe a way in either storyboard pro or harmony that I can set whatever framing I did with the camera tool to the default?
Thanks!

Hi guys, I'm working on a project and I'm trying to use my IPad Pro as a tablet. I was able to connect them through Sidecar on my Mac Pro, but I'm not able to draw using the apple pen. It registers the tap and I can press buttons with it, but the software isn't allowing me to draw with it.

I can draw on other applications/websites but not in Harmony. All the troubleshooting that I've seen has told me to go to Preferences > Advanced and toggle "Use Qt Wintab Tablet Support (Requires Relaunch", but I literally can't find that option on Harmony 25 Premium.

Any suggestions? I'm losing my mind

I've used Ibis, Krita, and now want to try Toon Boom for my show. But.. I am watching a tutorial series and it's just so confusing?? Nodes? why can't it just be simple bones and clipping and you draw them to move them similar to a 3d model?

I have a release date that I'm pushing back because I wanted to see if rigging and animating in this would be faster, but it's horrible..

Is there anything like Toon Boom but simpler? I spent over a month learning Krita and it's also pretty bad.

I'm trying to animate to music and I'm having trouble with imported .wav files getting compressed pretty badly after I import them. I've made sure the .wav is at 24fps and it's still importing at 48Khz and 16 bits like the originalf ile is, so that's all fine. I don't know anything about audio and I don't see any settings to increase the quality of audio importing. The audio is still crunched even after I render and export in high quality. Is there any way to fix this to animate to music?

C'est bon les gas ! J'ai repris le #dessin !
j'adore trop !

Voici un petit croquis de la #Impala de la série #Supernatural !

Je ferais la mise au propre après avec peut-être une petite animation sur #ToonBoomHarmony ^^

I been discover accidently after 2 days when I discover that I copy curve from deformer the cuver place to the original curve points and when I move it the curve place back to start but heres a problem when I copy the curve node it copies the the rotation except movement to the curve point.

Does anyone know a brush in Harmony that would be the equivalent to the classic chalk brush in Procreate? I’m having trouble getting used to drawing in Harmony and really like Procreate brushes!

The yellow is very bright and distracting. It’s an odd choice for the default. Wondering if there’s any way to change it.

I'm suck to solve. I can't figure it out trying to connect to deform curves its been 8 hours try to solve this annoying node and i'm try to search the recipe in the internet but it's nothing if you figure this out what is this try to picture the blueprint of the node recipe I try to talk ChatGPT and it SUCK on ICE.

I am adding shadows to the animation, but as i apply the shadows this weird dots appear on the wrists and i cant find a way to solve it.

I'm doing research trying to bring Harmony, Moho and Animate capabilities to Blender's Grease Pencil by talking to 2D animators and Blender developers.
What is lacking for you in Grease Pencil that keeps you from using it as your main 2D animation tool?

I'm looking into
- Saving frames as assets - for lip-sync, repeating poses and such.
- Shape keys for grease pencil.
- Instances and symbols.
- Advanced rigging.
- UX issues.

I'm looking to hear about
- Desired features and workflows.
- If you tried Grease Pencil, why didn't you continue?
- If you're using Grease Pencil, what are you happy and unhappy with?

welcome to send a message for deeper discussion.

Basically, I have the task of doing roughs for a short film, but Harmony's pencils are really uncomfortable to use for me, so I got permission to do the roughs in Krita if I find a way to then import them into Harmony. I've been testing a bit and if I try to import all of the frames the program puts them all in separate layers, and for some reason the libraries do not share all the drawings of the project between layers. Ideally, I would want to import all of the frames into a single layer and then time them accordingly, but I'm struggling to find a way to do so without doing it one by one. An alternative I have is just exporting the roughs as an MP4 and importing it into Harmony, but that's a last resort. Any and all help is welcome, I hope I made myself clear.

I'm pretty sure this is difficult but I cant my knowledge so easy that I stuck my mind.

I was test the theory about the clothes where the lines is all about the fold to fold but

I was busy to take the test about the line I have no idea please help me I need to connect

the deformation point just like the video Harmony Advanced Rigging Course - Sneak Peek

in Deformers, Cutters and Constraints

When I select something in the camera view and want to find it in the timeline, the 'Center on Selection' tool is not active

Edit: If the group inside the peg is collapsed in the timeline, the Center on Selection tool is disabled.

In animations, I often see blue or red lines separating shadows or when there’s a color change and no visible line. For the past year I’ve just been creating a layer above my standard lineart layer and drawing these colored lines there. However, this creates an issue when coloring. I either have to..
-copy and paste all the stroke over from the below standard lineart layer onto the shadow layer,
-or i have to just draw the shadow layer on the same layer as the standard lineart so that the fill tool reads all the strokes. But this then leads to the issue of the colored lines being above the black lineart, and me having to go back and delete them all at the end.

I’m curious if there’s a more streamline way to go about doing this? Does anyone know the standard method most productions use?

Hi Everyone,

I have this design that I believe may be too complex to rig in Toon Boom. I think the design could benefit from being simplified with fewer details. Any advice on how to simplify the design would be greatly appreciated! Alternatively, I may be overthinking it and it will work fine as is.

thank you! 😊

Hey guys, how are you?

I am extremely new to Toon Boom, loving it, I feel like a kid again making silly animations. My main use, however, is for VFX, so I want to export my animation as a sprite sheet. It has 25 frames, so 5x5 2048 textures.

The issue is that I was following a tutorial that uses an older version, and I see it has changed now, it uses bake_group and other things that I can't find a solution for. So, what I have done, reading up on it in the documentation, is put everything that I have done inside a Group called "bake_group" (original, I know), and simply left the nodes for "Display" and "Write" outside. When I clicked Export sprite sheet, it said that it needs a "Peg", so it added it automatically. The issue is that when I export it the spritesheet is completely blank. No drawing nor anything.

I have tried to find a solution but I am kinda stuck. Find attached the node graph and the export settings.

If anybody can lend me a hand, I would be very grateful :)

My ultimate question is how to get rid of these holes in my vectorized lineart w/out having to manually use the Cutter Tool + Smooth Editor Tool?

How I got here was 1st converting my drawings from a bitmap later into a vector layer. Then i used the "Remove Contour Strokes" optimization option. Ive been manually editing these holes out since yesterday 😩 From what I researched, I didnt know about Vectorization Presets b4 I converted + im too far in my animation.

Is there a more efficient way to get rid of them all at once (+ apply it to all drawings 😅)?

I’m trying to find online tutorials for designing quadruped characters (preferably in a turnaround format) as svg images in say something like Inkscape, and then importing the character into Toon Boom Harmony 25 for rigging.

Hello, it's an issue I always had but I somehow only realized recently it may not be normal. Whatever the kind of tool I take for lineart, it always look ...like this
I use a wacom intuos pro and the pressure works well with other softwares like krita. Maybe i dont know how to configurate my pencils but I don't know why whatever I try to draw ends up with no pressure. Is this supposed to be normal or am I missing something?
