Drawing an animated cloud & adding it as a sub xsheet in OpenToonz

Darren T 2022-11-25 | Here, I share the process I went through to animate a floating thought bubble in for my last entry to the 11 second club.

I talk about how I drew the animation, using a guide layer, why I drew it the way I did. Then I show how I added this scene into a different scene in another project! Then I animated some movement of the bubble and used the effects to “matte in” another columns drawings.

The BEST Effects For Adding Shadows and Highlights In OpenToonz

Darren T 2022-10-14 | Here’s a walkthrough of how I added shadows and highlights to a drawing using OpenToonz effects.

And then I show all of the effects that I used and the order of their connection to create the shadow and highlight effect. The effects that I used are the most common that I do use for other results. To help you, I’ve added a timestamp to each effect (in the description and shown if you hover over the timeline)

Contents:
00:00 Introduction & a tour through the columns
04:20 Looking through the effects
05:25 The Matte In effect

Combine your FX in OpenToonz with FX macros

Darren T 2022-10-07 | Here's how you can simplify your FX Schematic view by using the FX Macro feature in OpenToonz & Tahoma2D.
This allows you to group a selection of effects nodes together, so that only 1 node appears on screen, which simplifies the schematic view.
I also show how you can re-use these macros in the same scene AND your other scenes & projects, so that you can have a consistent effect across scenes and project. You can also share these macros with other users!

Contents:
00:00 Introduction
01:38 Creating the macro
03:09 Opening/exploding the macro
04:24 Using the macro in the current scene with copy/paste and linking
05:33 Using the macro in another scene or sharing
06:43 Tip Tip: Simplifying the Inputs
11:02 Fixing the infinite inputs problem

The best way to improve your animation! - Join me and practice with the 11 second club

Darren T 2022-07-01 | What's the best way to improve your animation?
Practice practice practice!
There's a time to work on your ball bounces, flour sack movement and emoting, but you need practice with a complete cartoon.
But creating your cartoon will be a long process for a single cartoon. And you need iteration, to practice the complete lifecycle.
And this is where the 11 second club monthly competitions come in.
Today, I'm inviting you to join me in entering the July competition.
I'll be animating my entry on my livestreams, so I'd love you to hang out with me as I work on it.
And why not use the time to work on yours at the same time.

Enter 11 second club here: 11secondclub.com

Work FASTER with vectors and effects in OpenToonz - Use snapshots

Darren T 2021-11-12 | In this video I show you my favourite tip to speed up working with vector images (and also with effects). And surprisingly, it's that once you've set them up ... DON'T work with them!

Instead, render out all of your columns & effects to an image file. Then work ONLY with that image file. This increases both your preview and render times.

Loading Tahoma2D scenes in OpenToonz and loading OpenToonz scenes in Tahoma2D

Darren T 2021-10-08 | In this video I show how you can load scenes into Tahoma2D that were created in OpenToonz, so that you can utilise the updated features in Tahoma2D.
I also show how to do the reverse; how to open scenes in OpenToonz that were created in Tahoma2D.

Tip: ALWAYS take a copy of the project first, just in case the project contents change too much between the 2 programs.

Contents:
00:00 Loading Tahoma2D scenes in OpenToonz and loading OpenToonz scenes in Tahoma2D
00:30 Loading an OpenToonz scene in Tahoma2D.
01:53 Loading a Tahoma2D scene in OpenToonz. Note, you MUST rename the project details file!

Rendering as Webm can be better than GIF inTahoma2D (an OpenToonz fork) - Great for video overlays!

Darren T 2021-09-24 | In this video I explain why I prefer the WEBM video file format to GIF for short animations, when rendered from Tahoma2D. And I show how they are perfect for video overlays; showing some of my overlays. And showing how to render them.

Note, you can only render with a transparent background from Tahoma2D, which is an OpenToonz fork, so has virtually the same features as OpenToonz. But OpenToonz adds the camera colour as the background for WEBM files. You can currently open OpenToonz projects into Tahoma, if you have already built an overlay that you'd like to render as a WEBM.

Download Tahoma2D from www.Tahoma2D.org

One thing I forgot to mention in the video, is that adding a GIF file to Shotcut (my video editor) took a few minutes to import. Whereas adding the same length webm-rendered file took seconds. Another win :-)

Using textures in perspective, in OpenToonz - Viewer question, taken from a recent livestream

Darren T 2021-06-25 | In this video I show a few techniques for showing textures in perspective, to use for a wall, side of building or other angled surface. The video is taken from a recent livestream where I demo'd this to answer a viewer's question from Sameen Khan. Thanks for the question Sameen.

I've tried to cut out parts that aren't relevant to this video (for instance, answering irrelevant live viewer questions) and speeded up parts that are moving slow, to make this video move along faster.

Contents:
00:00 Tutorial
01:03 Create a new project to use for the demo
01:47 Fill screen with a texture
03:32 1st effect: Using the Perspective Distort IWA effect
07:42 2nd effect: Using the Free Distort effect
14:16 Render out an image from the texture, ready to use it with the selection tool

Animating a digital countdown in Tahoma2D (OpenToonz). An exercise in drawing reuse & timeline use

Darren T 2021-05-21 | In this video I show how I created the readout for the countdown of a digital clock.

I made this on a recent livestream, that you can watch to see all of the details, explanations and commands that I used. But this was a great exercise to practice re-use of drawings and shows how you can manipulate your exposed drawings by duplicating them. Plus, it shows how you can create an animation in one scene and import it into another to re-use it.

Original livestream (I work on the clock from around 01:51:00): youtu.be/_5XxYWOPujU

I hope to see you on my future livestreams. Come and say hi :-)
