TOONBOOM STUDIO 4



So I purchased ToonBoom Studio 4. It was on sale and I need to learn the ToonBoom interface so I can ease into HARMONY from FLASH. I figured Studio 4 is a less advanced version of Harmony, but the interface is similar, so it's a good start. I spent several hours on it today fooling around with it. I know flash inside out and I can draw and animate with flash very quickly and with ease, but Studio 4 is totally foreign to me. It is taking me a long time just to find the right buttons to press.

Good for you; I'm just learning Flash, and hear that ToonBoom's really pushing the storyboard software as well.

Good luck, how hard can it be?

Craig, you really should learn ToonBoom as well as Flash. You are about 6 years too late learning the flash. Most studios have switched or are switching to ToonBoom Harmony. I have been working on Flash productions for the past 6 years. But nowadays it's all ToonBoom. The last 3 productions I did designs for were all ToonBoom productions. I would have liked to do some of the animation myself, which is why I am learning it now, I want to do more than just character designs.

Will, thanks for the comment! You will definitely hear from me with a ton of questions. I really like the software so far, but learning it on my own is not so easy. I can't wait to do another episode of The Z-Files in Toon Boom. The first 4 episodes, which played in various festivals and were broadcast on NickToons, were done in flash.
