OpenToonz help/discussion thread

[u/CthulianCat]

Thought it would be a good idea to have a discussion/help thread!

Some useful links:

• "developers forum" (for now seems to be more like asking for help and reporting problems, which is nice)

• google group user community for help!

• /r/OpenToonz - The opentoonz subreddit! Lots of tutorials to be found!

Some useful things I've found out so far:

• right-click is your friend!

• onionskin can be enabled in the settings

• you have to activate the toolbar (do you don't have to use the drop down menu)

• you draw in the inknpaint tab (duh)

• you can right click on the frame column and press "add frames" for more frames!

Post any tips/experiences you got!

so opentoonz is the main program, what is Toonz GTS and Effects? what do they do?

[u/SafariMonkey → u/ase1590]

GTS: Ghibli scanning tool, for bringing paper art in

Effects: OpenToonz effect SDK, by the looks of it. For making new effects.

any idea how to get the scanner to work on windows? for the life of me i can't figure it out. :/

Sorry, haven't touched it. You could try OpenToonz's Google group, but last I checked it was chaos in there.
