The navigation is also much easier, because you basically shift from drawing 1 to 2 to 3, etc. If you are painting hundreds of drawings in one scene it’s much more convenient and a lighter way to work in termos of computer memory using Paint and open a layer (or a number of drawings of that layer) than have all layers to paint on Stage. Of course, in Stage you can do everything, but in traditional animation it’s basically the compositing level, where you apply camera moves, effects, and prepare the scene for rendering. With the Paint module you don’t have timeline or network distracting, you just paint a layer of drawings separately. For that purpose you can have ink&paint artists using the Paint module instead of Stage. The Xsheet module has only the xsheet, nothing else. You could do it on Harmony, import it from Pencil Check Pro, or transcribe it if you made your line tests outside the TB Network. Batch processing will vectorize your drawings in the machines you define to do that operation.īut before using Scan you would actually have to make the Xshet with the animation timings. With this module you can basically just scan into the system. For that purpose you’d work with one or more machines connected to a high-speed scan where you would run the Scan module. On a 2D traditional workflow the animators would draw on paper and you would scan the clean up drawings into Harmony.

With cut-out or ‘tradigital’ (to a lesser extent) it doesn’t make as much sense. To understand this context, you have to imagine a medium to big studio working in traditional animation with, let’s say, 20 seats. They are actual separate applications from Stage each with their own features. In the Network version you can run those modules. Could not find a valid database license”. If you try to run them, you’ll get an error saying “This mode requires a networked application. exe files called Paint, Scan, Xsheet, Controlcenter and Play. In Harmony Stand alone you don’t have actual modules, but if you go to the directory where you have the Stage.exe file you’ll notice there’s also.
