Animate to Harmony: The Independent Animator's Guide to Toon Boom (Paperback)
Animate to Harmony: The Independent Animator's Guide to Toon Boo..
Animate to Harmony Binding: Paperback Publisher: Taylor & Francis Publish Date: 2014/10/08 Synopsis: "Want to create studio-quality work and get noticed? Just coming off Flash and looking for a Toon Boom intro? Are you a traditional pencil-and-paper animator? From scene setup to the final render, learn how to navigate the Toon Boom interface to create animation that can be published on a variety of platforms and formats
I am so appreciative of this book. I have waited quite a while for this to be made available. I have owned Toonboom Harmony for a year now and for the most part I have had to rely on the application User Guide and video tutorials. But this book has more of a personal feel to it. He goes over practical things that an artist would use everyday. The book is not high on tech speak which is good. Just teaching you how to work the application.
If you ever visit the author's site he is very humorous and the book is no different. Just a relaxing read where you are getting things done. I enjoy specialized books such as this that teach me how to become more efficient with my software. Teaching you techniques where the application functions become just another extension of yourself. Very natural.
Cons:
Unfortunately before the release of this book Harmony moved from 10.3 to 11 which has more features. But the base knowledge to get one going is still very...Read more

On the other hand though, I really loved this book. I would suggest it for anyone who is just getting animate, pro, or harmony from an upgrade or switching from flash or tvpaint to toonboom. It is an excellent resource,a monster when it comes to how much tips and tricks is crammed in, and holds you by the hand with wit and humor, guiding the path for first starters to teach Toonboom features fast. This book is not a complete "how to" for animation unfortunately. There are many...Read more | 2 | |
