You can launch the different Harmony applications from your machine's desktop, at the following locations: Harmony Server includes the following applications: Harmony Stand Alone includes the following applications: This allows artists to collaborate to your production in real time.įor productions that must rely on remote project collaborators who do not have access to the studio's local network, Harmony Server also includes a web-based interface, called WebCC, which allows users to check out scenes from the database to work on them locally, then check them back in with their changes. Using Harmony Server, you can create, manage, batch-vectorize and batch-render the scenes in your production, load and save scenes directly from and to the network storage of the server, share colour palettes, drawings, templates and other assets between project collaborators, and track the different production and approval stages of your scenes. Harmony Server combines the animation capabilities of Harmony with a network interface that allows several machines on a local network to connect to a database of Harmony scenes. Harmony also works with other software by importing and exporting a wide variety of industry standard file formats, allowing it to easily integrate different pipelines. Using Storyboard Pro, you can create your production's animated storyboard or animatic, then export it into separate Harmony scenes, allowing you to seamlessly create your scene layouts and poses based on your storyboard. A 3D space, which allows you to move and rotate layers in all directions and create multiplane environments. Visual effects, which allows you to streamline the production pipeline by reducing the need to use third party tools. Deformers, which allows you to define articulations on a drawing and deform it without having to re-draw it. Harmony has a very wide set of features to unlock the full potential of digital animation, such as:
Digital, or cut-out animation, where character rigs are created to be animated by moving, rotating, stretching, squashing, deforming or swapping the drawings of different body parts.Paperless animation, where each drawing is created from scratch using the drawing and animation tools in Harmony.Traditional animation, where each drawing is sketched and cleaned up on paper, scanned in Harmony, then digitally inked and painted.The technology in Harmony gives artists and studios the freedom to create animation using various techniques, including: Toon Boom Harmony is the animation production tool that provides artists and studios with powerful and innovative technology used in blockbuster films, TV series, online series, advertisements, games and many other productions.
