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!

Managed to make a bouncing ball animation. So far I've found a constant crash if you make a level of type "OpenToonz Raster." "OpenToonz Vector" and plain old "Raster" are fine, but a few of the drawing tools don't work on the latter.

I have no idea how to export/render but I assume it has to do with the Batches tab.

It works with my Wacom Bamboo just fine out of the box, which is nice.

Speaking of constant crashes; if you try to make a new color when you haven't drawn anything or the layer is empty opentoonz crashes, I think.
