Thanks for this! OpenToonz was so impenetrable as a new user, with its weird terminology and nonstandard shortcuts. This was enough to get started and make sense of their system.

It's great to hear the video was helpful. :) Yeah it's quite intimidating at first. The good news is tough that professional software like ToonBoom Harmony use a lot of the same concepts, so if you already got used to them in OpenToonz it's easier to pick up.

I remember installing opentoonz a few years ago and being completely overwhelmed, maybe even intimidated, by it. Needless to say I never did much in it and it's just been sitting on my computer. Recently I got more and more inspiration to animate even short animations just for fun and I think this is the perfect software for me. Thank you so much for making it more accessible to new users like this!

Much thanks for taking your time and breaking it down and making it easy for us all to understand. I never thought i would make it very far but i am so thrilled with just knowing the basics, because it is more then i knew when just loading it for the first time and getting overwhelmed. Now i can make a little sense out of it. I come from using GIMP and PDN and can't wait to see what i can do in OT :D again tysm .

Hello, love the video, very informative. I do have a few questions: a. is there a way to draw a background or a scenery? b. is there a way to make it so that the background doesn't change per frame?
@wendo____O3 жыл бұрын
Do u mean copy and pasting the background if so then this is kinda hard to explain but tap on the column u want to draw the background in, draw it then double tap on the second table below the one u drew in and type out the same column number as the one u were drawing in. I hope this helped
@mreclecticguy3 жыл бұрын
Create a layer and draw your background (assuming you aren't going to move your background in any way, as you asked in question b), then click on the frame the background is on. Grab the gray maker in the righthand corner of the frame and drag it as far as you want. It will hold the frame for you. Doing it this way makes it easy to shorten or lengthen the number of frames you want the background to hold.

@AnimatorIsland Жыл бұрын
@@NealFox Tahoma is a fork of OpenToonz so it shares most of its codebase. A lot of people prefer Tahoma 2D because it's set up to be a bit more beginner friendly. Features like the automatic drawing hold are very useful. While you can open OpenToonz projects in Tahoma, it doesn't always work the other way around. I personally am skeptical about forks as they tend to have less contributors to the code, however, the creator of Tahoma seems really commited and capable. I guess it comes down to trying both and seeing what you prefer. :) /fe

Ferdinand, that was an excellent beginner tutorial. You explained things in detail without skipping basic concepts which a lot of tutorials do because they "assume" you already knew that concept or procedure...as a beginner, probably not...or they just want to do a short video. I'm a musician with zero animation experience and I've been doing some initial research into potential software that I could use as a beginner to make basic animated music videos and after this tutorial, I think I'm sold on this program. I have one (potentially dumb) question...did you use a tablet/laptop with a screen that you can draw on to make the animated ghosts or a peripheral device (usb?) on which you can draw the ghosts? I could never have enough hand control and steadiness to draw anything like that using a mouse. Thanks.
@gabriellastauffer Жыл бұрын
It's not a dumb question! Yes, tablets are made nowadays that you can draw on. It is likely that he has a display tablet (where you draw directly on the screen), but he could also have a non-display one directly on the desk, USB or even bluetooth connected. It's definitely possible to make animations with just a mouse, but it is really worth the price of a cheaper drawing tablet if you are making anything more than a few frames! Good luck on animating
@RockDocNeal Жыл бұрын
@@gabriellastauffer Thank you so much for responding! I haven't tried doing any animation yet because I have to get motivated to fully complete the song that I was going to do the animation for, but your info has given me some inspiration to finish it. 😁 Being able to draw on a tablet would give me the ability to do some basic animation that would be above the 1'st grade art class level I'd achieve with a mouse.

I converted them to png and tried that but there was no difference. I also tried to crop them in Adobe photoshop which worked amazing but then as soon as I imported it into an opentoonz frame, it put the newly cropped image on a new white square background. I am very new to this and desperately need help, also my BG color alpha channel is set to zero. Please help, any response is appreciated :)
