Toon Boom Tips

 

While some of these posts for 2D Animation can apply to other Animation Software packages, this series of Curriculum posts will mostly use TOON BOOM HARMONY as my preferred 2D Animation Software as not only is it my software of choice but it's also very versatile too.

And this mostly applies to those who pay for the premium package too so for enterprise and advanced subscribers, take some of my knowledge with you in the event you plan to upgrade your subscriptions.

This main page of TOON BOOM Tips will dive into the nuts and bolts of 2D Animation tips on things like NODES, Paint swatches, Puppet Rigs, layering, compositing, Cameras and many more.

Here are the links to my many 2D Animation posts on my main blog:

Since I'm just starting this category for the curriculum, I've only got a few posts that have links. Most are posts that haven't been made or they're made but haven't been linked yet. Be patient. This will expand with time.

The overall theme of this Companion Blog

I've started to post things on my main Blog MAVERICK MARTINEZ ARCHIVE which I see as educational so I've decided to compile my education/instructional posts from my main blog as per a companion so it's easy to navigate.

And the best part is that my curriculum is free..... except for the software of my choosing but hey, you have your open source software to choose so my knowledge can still apply.
