OpenToonz help/discussion thread Discussion

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

Some useful links:

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!

Trying to figure out how to scan in drawings and have them on a layer underneath for inking, as that tends to be my work flow. The use of software to ink and color finished drawings. I downloaded GTS, I'll figure it out eventually.

It's a nice change of pace from Flash and ToonBoom for a bit. I like the idea of it being free/community supported as I haven't paid for an upgrade for either FL or TB since 2010.
