*Thanks for watching.* Timecodes for skipping the video and software links are in the description *All OpenToonz tutorials:* ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-saDNGVj46Xc.html And I'll be back to put this into practice next week, with another Featured Animation.
Dear Darren, As you know I'm not much of an OpenToonz user as much as I'm a ToonBoom Harmony but this is wonderful and professional quality content. Keep up the good job! :)
Clever but somewhat fiddly. Could one draw the body parts in another program without the joint lines and then import them? The parts wouldn't be vectors but if drawn sufficiently large and then reduced in size after importing, aliasing wouldn't be a problem.
Once you've done it a couple of times, the "effects method" isn't too fiddly. (I find the sandwich technique fiddly though, which is why I don't use it). But it's not about the aliasing. It's to allow the body parts to move and have the lines dynamically be hidden. Drawing them in another program doesn't help with that.
It all depends exactly what you need the result to be. For instance, you wouldn't use the plastic tool if you need to have frame by frame animation whilst moving. So you might want to have a hand ball up into a fist as the arm rotates. Or have lip sync on the head column while it moves side to side. If you can do what you need in the plastic tool, then do so. But it's worth knowing there are alternatives.
I've covered it in a few tutorials. I don't think I have one that covers only that. I only mention it when it's useful. So if you've not used it yet, it's probably because you don't need to.
Is there a way to do this when one of the items to be sandwhiched uses mesh? I have a character whose leg connects to the torso but I also need to use mesh to make the leg bend.
I guess the downside of the raster body parts created in another program is one loses the ability of having OpenToonz do the tweens since you need vectors for that function.
again i am facing problem, sorry i am distrubing you again and again....... here in sandwich mode, when click on zero, there thickness increases instead of decreasing. and again in effects there is line is not removed....
I'm not sure where you're clicking on zero, or what the problem could be. I can't imagine what might increase after you set it up zero. If you can share a screenshot on my Discord, it'll be easier to diagnose the problem.
@@vikasbishnoi482 I don't think there's any difference between that version and the latest version that could make a difference. I forgot to say, there's a link to my Discord in the video description.
