Toon Boom Harmony Guide Update

Rigging Guide Update
I can’t deny, this has become a bit of a monster! I thought initially it would just be about the odd tip I’ve picked up over the years, but it has now become a proper.... well manual I suppose. On the plus side, I seem to be on top of things finally. Laying things out, I now know where the guide...

Rigging Guide in the works
Last year, while working on Dr Who, I was in the process of writing a guide to rigging which had a large emphasis on Master Controllers.Since I had too much to do, I had to put it on ice for a while. Now I know so much about the process and how it affects the workflow, I’ve decided to redraft it a...

A tweak, a credit...
Ok, so I’m going alter the Patreon rewards scheme a little bit.At the moment it doesn’t seem fair that so many kind people have donated and are not getting some kind of credit for it on actual videos, so I’ve decided that (for the moment anyway- might not be practical in the future) to include...
