I am trying to replicate body bend using bones, like the one in attached pictures, really cannot get to work without lots of distortion,

You can now get your in-betweens sorted in less than a minute while keeping the authentic, hand-crafted feel of the animation intact. It works natively in Toon Boom and all you have to do is highlight your key's and Flicker does the rest.

Flicker only works for Toon Boom Advanced and Premium versions, and you can check it for free at flicker.bruceanimation.com

Basically what appears to be happening is there’s the sketch of the body on the main layer, then almost like a composition within a composition in AE there’s the sketch of the lip sync/head moving with the body.

So my question is- is it possible to move one layer as a whole within another layer in the same way After Effects allows you to move one composition within another? I know this person probably wasn’t using Harmony for this animation, but I wanted to know if it was possible to do so within it.

Hi, would really appreciate if someone could help with this one... Opened harmony and suddenly cannot open the node properties at all- I'm recording the full screen, there is no panel that pops up anywhere and I've tried every way to normally open it up. I've also restarted my computer, reopened toonboom, tried multiple diff files- all not showing it? Really can't tell if I'm just missing something, thanks

I noticed they don’t move when you drag them backwards, only forwards. Is there any option I can toggle that would give the same behavior to forwards frames?

My style of roughing out scenes is reliant on moving and adjusting frames on the timeline. I typically do this in procreate dreams.

In dreams you can adjust frame exposure forwards and backwards without affecting other frames unless it hits a created frame. Then it’s attached to this frame and when dragged will pull the frame with it without affecting the other frames exposure.

I used to use a pirated version of Harmony for my rigs and animations. Now, my job has given me a legitimate license, but when I open my old files and rigs, I get this message. Is there any way to save my rigs? I tried copying and pasting the nodes into a new file, but this window keeps popping up.

Does someone know how to make the character stick to the floor? My teacher told me that moving the anchor point (of the peg master) should be enough, but it doesnt work? mauybe its something bout the rigging i dunno. Maybe the point where the character rotates has something to do with it, but im not sure

Hi!
I’m an animation student at the Filmuniversität Babelsberg in Germany, currently developing an early-stage research/project idea around animation production pipelines and workflow infrastructure.

I’m especially interested in the less visible parts of production — scene prep, handoff friction between departments, pipeline organization, communication breakdowns, technical setup, production tooling, etc. Basically the invisible machinery that shapes your work behind the scenes.

I put together a survey aimed at animators, rigging artists, compositors, TDs, production staff, motion designers, pipeline people and anyone else involved in animation workflows.

Would genuinely love to hear about real-world experiences, frustrations,workarounds, recurring production issues or whatever else comes to mind from people actually working in the field.

I hope this is the right place to share this :)

Thanks!
