The interactive entertainment industry is expected to be worth $138 billion in revenue by the end of 2021, and has been accelerating at a rapid pace over the past decade. Harmony ups its game with a new SDK:Īs the animation industry has grown alongside a new 18-34 demographic, the same trend is also true of videogames. Marc-André Bouvier-Pelletier demonstrates new drawing tools in Harmony 21. “Artists will notice that Harmony 21 is up to twice as fast when working with complex cut-out scenes, compositing effects, and deformers - while studios will benefit from reduced batch render times.” “In addition to these new features, Harmony’s development team has been working behind-the-scenes to improve core technologies and performance,” said Francisco Del Cueto, Toon Boom Animation’s Co-President and Chief Technology Officer.
Harmony 21 Premium also includes a new Rigid Point Deformer for fine-tuning deformation of textures, and a Show Deformation Mesh toggle, which is particularly helpful for building and quality control on cutout characters.
With the Transform Tool’s new Mixed Manipulation mode, artists and animators can select and control multiple deformers and drawings simultaneously - allowing for faster and more intuitive posing. This update also features significant workflow improvements for cutout animation and character rigs in Harmony Premium. Cleanup artists working with your team will enjoy the improved Cutter Tool, which now trims multiple pencil lines with a single swipe gesture.
With a new Overlay Brush mode, painted brush strokes can now apply non-destructive shading and highlights. In Harmony 21, users can now control how the pressure, tilt and speed of their stylus affects the size and opacity of their vector and bitmap brushes or set consistent tapering on each stroke.
Introducing the freshest new features:Īrtists have more tools at their fingertips for inking and painting their animated scenes. Harmony 21’s demo pack, featuring The Ingredients of Animation.
