나가 그것에 나의 손을 얻을 때 Toon 붐 스튜디오 4는 경이롭 놀람이었다. 직업 스튜디오 하모니의 낮추어진 버전 같이 대단히 일이다. Some of the bells and whistles are missing, but when I get home from the studio to work on independent projects there’s no longer the ‘culture shock’ of moving between two vastly different interfaces for doing basically the same thing.
I’m interested to see what other effects will be making an appearance in future patches/versions.

Harmony/Solo is one of those applications that I hope to have a chance to see in action some day. Even Digital Pro would be impressive.
I keep hearing about several animated movies being made with the Harmony suite (The Simpsons for example), I just imagine it being an awe-inspiring application. I wonder if if comes complete with a “Send to Korea to Make Look Pretty” button.
February 8th, 2008 at 2:46 am
Ugh, I’m sure that one day soon, there’ll be something very similar to the “Send to Korea” button, possibly a “Send to India” or “Send to Singapore”. Unfortunately there’s a glitch in the program that links these buttons to the “Jobless Domestic Animators” Utility.
As far as I can tell, Solo IS Studio Pro it’s just been re-branded. Harmony isn’t much different, it just comes with a bunch more editing and compositing stuff I think.
Toon Boom’s been a force in features for a while, Mostley in the realm of compositing and digital ink and paint. I’d be interested myself to see if theres been a ‘Tradigital’ feature film made with the software.
February 8th, 2008 at 2:49 am
FYI - Two TV shows done in Harmony are ‘Ruby Gloom’ and ‘Grossology’. They were animated by Nelvana and Mercury Filmworks and shown on YTV in Canada. Don’t know if they’re shown anywhere in the US yet. You can Google them to check out the sites tho…might find some clips to check out. : )
It seems more studios are starting to make the switch from Flash to Harmony.
February 8th, 2008 at 10:37 am
@SteveSloan, Ah, I wasn’t aware of the rebranding, good to know. I need to keep my terms straight.
@Karen, I’ve seen bits of Ruby Gloom and I really like the style. I haven’t seen Grossology, I’ll have to see if YouTube can enlighten me. Did you work on either series?
February 8th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
I didn’t, but a lot of my ex-students did. And my better half runs the Mercury studio out west. Ruby is just wrapping up this week and you can find grossology here: http://www.ytv.com/programming/shows/grossology/
I think those animators will find they have an advantage over the Flash guys in the near future. It takes more training to learn Harmony and if they’re already experienced, they’ll get the jobs.
Until it all goes overseas of course…: )
February 8th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
Oh, and I actually believe that Solo is the ’single’ version of Harmony. More for the freelance/independent professional artist. Harmony is only worth it for the big studio set up because of all the licensing fees and better production flow. I think that’s what the main difference is.
February 8th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
Indeed Solo is the stand-alone version of Harmony. Biggest difference in between the software is that Harmony is working on a database (server/client setup) and support high volume scanning.
There is actually a no time limit demo version Digital Pro (which is the newest version of Solo) available so if you want to give a look to the software feel free to do so but don’t spend too much time on it we are still looking forward to get more animation on CalicoMonkey ;).
February 8th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
Heh. Digital Pro would be nice, but even if it’s the bees knees (god I’m old) it’s price tag is more than slightly out of reach. Maybe I’ll have a donation drive to see about purchasing a license someday.
Regarding the next animation, I totally just finished the script for Episode 11. Woo! It will launch on Feb 19.
February 11th, 2008 at 10:52 am
@Karen:
I’m an animation supervisor at Mercury Ottawa, Small world!
Other shows done in Harmony, Gerald McBoing Boing (I believe its on Nick in the States) Wierd Years, 6Teen. All Mercury filmworks joints. (With Nelvana on 6Teen) and all, in my humble opinion, head and tails above most flash productions.
@Will:
Yeah Digital pro is a bit pricey, and you REALLY have to be able to justify it, Studio 4.0 can give us a lot of what we need as indipendants right now, and Digital Pro might be ‘gilding the lily’ a bit.
February 11th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
@Steve…ha! I actually wondered that, since you said you work on Toon Boom during the day…so few studios do. They worked on Gerald out here too. I do storyboards (for Studio B right now). Say HI to Clint for me…he was my DIP teacher way back when (before he started Mercury).
And yes this industry is small isn’t it? Everybody knows someone who’s worked somewhere : )
February 11th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
And now I know two people who have worked somewhere.
Be sure to check out each other’s sites:

Well I’m very familiar with previous versions of Toonboom though it would do me much good to look at these tutorials because I’m sure there are some changes and new features I have to get familiar with.
Yes animating characters with pegs is still frustrating for me which is why I’m still hanging around.
March 18th, 2008 at 8:56 am
Depending on which version of Toon Boom you’re coming from Rhiannon, you may find that that Toon Boom 4 can offer quite a bit. My understanding is that Toon Boom 2 and earlier versions did not allow elements to have internal pegs - everything had to have a regular peg. This changed with Toon Boom 3, and now it’s considerably faster to assign internal pegs for your drawings.
March 29th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
This might sound stupid, but, is it possible to use a JPG (character surrounded by blue/green screen) or even a JPG showing a back round environment imported into Toon Boom? Or is it something that i have to use After Effects’ Puppet Tool for…
Just working on a project that i started by creating characters into JPG and using Crazytalk 5 for the “Characters” to talk and now looking for something in order for them to be animated/moving them…
Thank you for your time,
Alex

@Alzeus,
You could use Toon Boom for that, but there is no automatic blue/green screen filter. A better option is to convert the JPGs into PNGs so that you can keep that transparent alpha channel.
Of course, you could always do your lip syncing directly in Toon Boom, but it sounds like you’ve already created that in Crazytalk (which I’m not familiar with).

hey every one I’m new to animation and animation soft ware. iv really only done clay and action figures I’m a huge noob , but i want to be an animator and go to school for animation but i want to learn some soft ware and i was looking at toon boom studio 4 and it looks like it would be really cool and fun, would that be a good choice of soft ware to start off with?
August 11th, 2008 at 2:22 am
i downloaded the free 30 day trial but i have no clue how to set pegs and the guide online is not much help can anyone help?
August 14th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
@mike, I’m glad you’re giving Toon Boom a try! My best suggestion for getting started is to give these two walkthroughs a try:
http://www.toonboomtutorials.com/2007/create-your-own-cartoon-character/
http://www.toonboomtutorials.com/2007/create-a-basic-walk-cycle-with-toon-boom/
They’re both pretty basic and should introduce you to the concepts you need to know to help build your cartoons.
