Toon Boom Harmony's WEIRD pivot system

[@IIPaused]

you have no idea how much of a headache it's been for years for me.... I can't thank you enough, good sir

[@CrownePrince]

Now if only I had known this before I template-ized all my character rigs. I have a tail end puppet piece that changes position with every drawing, so I can't set a global pivot because it doesn't match up. Previously I would have used the temporary free transform pivot and moved it to where the tail end was for that particular drawing, but now if I set the global pivot to 0,0 and set the drawing pivot for each drawing - bang, problem solved. The global pivot moves to where it should be on each drawing.

o Selection pivot (temporary pivot): unique to selected objects within the drawing, and it gets reset when you deselect. Ex: free transform tool o Drawing pivot: Unique to each drawn frame within the layer. from the toolbar o Layer pivot (permanent pivot):. The pivot point for the whole layer. It has a constant offset from the Drawing pivot. via advanced animation bar.

The drawing pivot actually sounds pretty useful. I like all the different onions too.

[@age3rcm]

i have always used the translation tool to make the pivot point

[@janeygadil7161]

hey, can someone help me? I've been with a trasformation tool problem.. I click on shortcut "F6" to insert keyframe (actually, I changed that to "insert position keyframe" maybe that be the problem, I don't know) and I changed it because the option "insert keyframe" got another problem, every time that I closed the program and then I opened again, the shortcut was lost, so, accidentally I noticed that another option called similarly and I wanted to try it, and now I have the current problem.. every time that I use the shortcut F6, the program create a keyframe but it's like the function "animate" wasn't anabled.. I mean.. for example.. I press F6 at frame 10 and then I move the cursor to keyframe 15 and then I press F6 again and I do a trasformation with transformation tool be it movement or proportion, so, I return on frame 10 and the frame 10 is the same of the frame 15.. I have to move the first frame and later return it to you original position to later I can transform the following frame and that is ennoying, Please, How can I fix this?

[@scoobyalves1]

Hey, sorry I'm 1 year late, is the "animate current frame" enabled? It's the orange stick figure on the toolbar, if it's a red one that's the problem

When erver i change master control all the pivot messed up why

[@mathewomolo]

thank you. I've got 2 requests.. 1. A short video explaining turnaround rigs (there are videos out there but all brush through the vital points) 2. How to add highlights on moving rigged parts. I would highly appreciate these.

[@OnionSkin]

Both essential topics, thanks for the suggestions! Keep an eye out for them both over the coming months =]

[@mathewomolo]

Awesome. thank you

[@dannymendiola]

[@Waynimations]

Toonboom looks so confusing!!!!!

[@jakubbeczanyi]

Because it is :D

[@AntsAnimations]

Waynimations it really isn't but then again it's the only program I've used

[@OnionSkin]

It is, but that's why I make videos explaining it

[@jakubbeczanyi]

Biggest problem is lack of tutorials. Thank You Onion Skin! I found this one really usefull: www.linkedin.com/learning/migrating-from-flash-to-toon-boom-harmony?trk=course_title

[@caspianYT]

God, this always frustrated me!

[@allenpryortube]

intangible levels of screaming. maybe it's useful for underwater scenes or when there's an earthquake... but then there's camera shake...nope still don't understand. why 3 and not just 2 distinct pivots. why a semi-functional pivot offset. I've destroyed projects I've worked on with that stupid thing.

[@OnionSkin]

It be a mess when you're not thinking about it aye. Hopefully you'll be able to avoid some of that now

[@uzzal.sd23]

solve the problem---Drawing a pivot point removes the drawing.
