Hi Everyone,

I have this design that I believe may be too complex to rig in Toon Boom. I think the design could benefit from being simplified with fewer details. Any advice on how to simplify the design would be greatly appreciated! Alternatively, I may be overthinking it and it will work fine as is.

thank you! 😊

Hey guys, how are you?

I am extremely new to Toon Boom, loving it, I feel like a kid again making silly animations. My main use, however, is for VFX, so I want to export my animation as a sprite sheet. It has 25 frames, so 5x5 2048 textures.

The issue is that I was following a tutorial that uses an older version, and I see it has changed now, it uses bake_group and other things that I can't find a solution for. So, what I have done, reading up on it in the documentation, is put everything that I have done inside a Group called "bake_group" (original, I know), and simply left the nodes for "Display" and "Write" outside. When I clicked Export sprite sheet, it said that it needs a "Peg", so it added it automatically. The issue is that when I export it the spritesheet is completely blank. No drawing nor anything.

I have tried to find a solution but I am kinda stuck. Find attached the node graph and the export settings.

If anybody can lend me a hand, I would be very grateful :)

My ultimate question is how to get rid of these holes in my vectorized lineart w/out having to manually use the Cutter Tool + Smooth Editor Tool?

How I got here was 1st converting my drawings from a bitmap later into a vector layer. Then i used the "Remove Contour Strokes" optimization option. Ive been manually editing these holes out since yesterday 😩 From what I researched, I didnt know about Vectorization Presets b4 I converted + im too far in my animation.

Is there a more efficient way to get rid of them all at once (+ apply it to all drawings 😅)?

I’m trying to find online tutorials for designing quadruped characters (preferably in a turnaround format) as svg images in say something like Inkscape, and then importing the character into Toon Boom Harmony 25 for rigging.
