[@Crinkem_]

Thanks for all your hard work over the years! A break is totally understandable. I hope you feel relaxed and are able to accomplish the things you want to do during your break. Take care, see you after the break!

[@DarrenTAnims]

Thank you. See you on the other side 😊

[@MangoJellySolutions]

[@DarrenTAnims]

Thank you, my friend. I really appreciate that. Thanks for watching

Thank you

[@DarrenTAnims]

And thank you for your support 🙏

[@re-artwork]

Enjoy your break, and thank you for all the help you have given us. Looking forward to watching how your drawings improve on discord. 🙂

[@DarrenTAnims]

Thank you. Me too!

[@BaldorfBreakdowns]

Thanks for all the tutorials Darren! You deserve a break, enjoy the beautiful outdoors you've got there!

[@DarrenTAnims]

It's like walking in The Shire (Hobbiton from Lord of the Rings) 😀

[@ini_james_]

i feel like crying. you are really a great teacher

[@DarrenTAnims]

Thank you my friend. I appreciate that

[@Michael_Killner_Davies]

Huge Congrats on 10k Darren !! You really deserve this and definitely a good break. 👍👍🙂🙂

[@DarrenTAnims]

Thank you Michael 😍

[@ogisoleman]

Congratulations on 10k subs! Thank you for these helpful/informative OT tutorials, will be catching up on them in the mean time. Have an enjoyable and relaxing break!

[@DarrenTAnims]

Thank you 😊

[@FullchainAnimation]

Congratulations on 10k subs Darren! You deserve em and more bud :) Energies and Time are finite, so touching grass ought be first on your list given all the hard selfless work you've done all these years. If this was a TV network, you've got enough material to go into 'syndication' anyway haha. Personally I'd like to thank you so much for everything I've learned from you, old friend. Opentoonz/Tahoma will remain significant for my projects regardless of what app animation studios tell me to use. Rest up and good health to you, mate!

[@DarrenTAnims]

Thank you, my friend. Touching grass, is literally one of the first things to do. But then I want to get on with my other projects. I'll still be around and making videos, here and there. But I need a change of pace. Fun times ahead 😊 And I hope to continue to see your animations 😃

[@psychocrazyanimations809]

Congrats on 10k.

[@DarrenTAnims]

Thank you 😊

[@flufdude]

you taught me so much man, will miss u bro

[@DarrenTAnims]

Thank you buddy. I've been away now for about 6 months! Which is unbelievabl! But as it happens, I'm releasing my next video today. And have another couple of related videos lined up directly after that. But then I'll be away again for a while longer.

[@flufdude]

@@DarrenTAnims lets goooooo

[@eniosan]

It is awesome to reach that 10K goal !!! Congrats on for that my friend. It is wise to invest some time in yourself, your family and enjoy the nature around you. On the other hand... it is kind of sad to hear that wont be around for a while. I havent been around my self due to many things that had happened around here, but I was always watching your videos. Hope to see you with another DARRENT video. Still, I am looking forward to have a chance to chat with you on discord anytime soon. BEST OF LUCK to you buddy. Thanks for all the great videos and the hard work that is putting them together. Talk to you soon.

[@DarrenTAnims]

Thank you, my friend. I've been slowing down for a while, but I need more of a break. I think it'll be good for me. I'll still be on discord and sharing vids & info on Patreon, and bits on my other socials, but just less often. But if you see me on discord or area few songs time, drop me a message. Cheers buddy 😊

[@Reekachuma]

Congrats man! You've helped since the start of my animation journey and it's been a year since I first saw your channel! Enjoy your well deserved break! 😁

[@DarrenTAnims]

Thank you. I'm really pleased I could have helped and you've got yourself into animation 😀

[@charles8072]

good work, youve helped a lot

[@DarrenTAnims]

Thank you

[@shamsrza141]

May you make a full tutorial about the fx and effect please

[@shamsrza141]

All the effect please

[@DarrenTAnims]

Have you seen my effects playlist on my channel? That will get you started.

[@DarrenTAnims]

@@shamsrza141 It would take a long time to create tutorials for all of the effects. Once you've learned the basics, you'll be able to use the other effects.

[@buckycore]

What platform will you plan on releasing the new tutorial? Man, I can't wait for you to release

[@DarrenTAnims]

I've been releasing the full videos for my next tutorial, 2 each week (it's a 10-part series) on my Patreon. It's available on my Gumroad now too. But I'm currently building a video for KZbin to summarise the process.

[@maxmagnus777]

Hey Darren, if I recall well you are checking out 11sec club often. I am currently working on eyes of characters. Here is the thing: there was a winner of 11 sec in which the commentator drew eye shapes on some 20 frames. It was a 3d animation. I've been searching for it for an hour now. That was a weird "award" as he did not say why they eyelids would or should be in that position or of that shape. He just drew then on every frame and moved on. It was kind of bizarre "award". I thought you may recall that one as it was not really useful one. Anyways, if you recall which one it was (could be the one with "I've made pasta, I was hungry" one. At this point I lack clarity. Anyways if you recall which one it was I would be grateful for finding it. I just hope that now that I went over this new course I could make sense on what that was all about. Cheers.

[@DarrenTAnims]

Hi, I've not entered the 11 second club for many months. I hope to join in again early next year. And unfortunately I didn't see the entry you're referring to.

[@blasterxt9]

Hello Sir plaese do full tutorial of how rig in plastic tool in Opentoonz

[@DarrenTAnims]

Have you seen my cut out playlist on the channel? That's a good introduction to the plastic tool and rigging.

[@blasterxt9]

@@DarrenTAnims ok sir thank you

[@blasterxt9]

@@DarrenTAnims please do more tutorials on Opentoonz and anyway congratulations on 10k subscribers

[@Rover259Wild]

Do you know how to matte a character in water of the bath or pool?

[@DarrenTAnims]

Yes. But it depends what effect you're after. What area are you having trouble with? There could be a few different ways to present your character; fully underwater, partially underwater, behind waves or something else.

[@Rover259Wild]

@@DarrenTAnims putting the character in the water, while the water is in the pool or bathtub.

[@DarrenTAnims]

But what part are you having trouble with?

[@Rover259Wild]

@@DarrenTAnims the part with Character on the water and water is on the pool or bath

[@DarrenTAnims]

Drop over to my Discord and ask there, preferably with the image that you have so far.

[@Arabian-branches]

Why when I change the position of the center while moving the character, the character's position in the cells changes

[@DarrenTAnims]

It shouldn't, as I recall. If you can record a video of this happening and share it on my Discord, I can take a look.

[@Arabian-branches]

@@DarrenTAnims ok thanks

[@elcuchotecuenta_1218]

Greetings brother from the Dominican Republic, why does Tahoma 2D not want to run, does my computer see it as a virus?

[@DarrenTAnims]

Greetings. That's probably not the issue. The thing to be sure of is that you've unzipped the download and then copied the extracted folder to a valid location. Perhaps a new "portable" folder on your C drive?

[@FelixTheAnimator]

Heck yeah touch some grass!

[@DarrenTAnims]

Absolutely Felix 😀

[@lofwyr5063]

OT in general seems kind of slow at the moment.

[@DarrenTAnims]

If you're using vector levels, it can slow down after adding a few drawings. Also, be sure that the preview button isn't turned on, at the top right of the viewer.

[@lofwyr5063]

@@DarrenTAnims Ohhhh, haha sorry, man. I now see how ambigous that comment was. I mean, OT ...the whole everything around it is kind of slow, including development and the community. So, you taking a break kind of fits into the current, well... I'm ESL so the only alternative I can think of right now is "languishing" but that sounds so negative. But I'm sure it's more clear what I'm getting at now, regardless lol. Have a good one, m8.

[@animatoonstv.2216]

Amazing, one of the best channels for tutorials on animation, thank you so much for all your videos.
