It would be best to start from the manual that already exists.Ģ- The manual would be directly related to the merged PRs. Just like when posting an issue.ġ- Online creation of a version of the manual that would be categorized into several sections. If this is possible, we can use Github directly, it would make things easier to write, illustrate, etc. To add a note or illustrate with examples. The concept could also be extended to certain issues with an adequate label for the manual for example. In the case, where a new user, would like to learn Opentoonz, he could then go directly to this manual. In this way, there will already be a first description of the said functionality or change, in an explicit category, and in the same space, as soon as the PR is merged. So why not link this description directly to a space that would combine these descriptions in a precise and organized way? Since every time a developer makes an enhancement or creates a new feature, it describes the mechanism of its addition. In the same way that when a pr is merged, its related issue is closed as well. It may be very naive on my part, but I wondered if the following thing was possible automatically. I'm truly impressed with this program and how much has gone into it over the last couple years. there are only three harmony features I wish opentoonz had and with the way opentoon is going, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before they are implemented. I was paying $2000 annually for each harmony subscription compare that to $600 annually for a sub to ALL the adobe creative cloud apps and it become clear that harmony is a little over priced. toonboom gives you a 3 week free trial for each of their harmony versions so you could learn the ropes for free, stepping up through the program in complexity over 63 days, and then decide if you want to stick with harmony or bring what you've learned over to opentoonz. In the past I have suggested that others use harmony to become familiar with ideas used in opentoonz. opentoonz is probably most comparable to harmony's premium version, the most expensive. I switched over from harmony and felt right at home in opentoonz. Regarding other programs, toonboom harmony is widely used. Well, at least these are the ones I've seen a lot of other animators using. Toon Boom, TVPaint and Adobe Animate are other popular paid software. Never know who might have discovered something that isn't documented.įor more interactive discussions, I recommend joining the Discord channel ( ).Īs far as as paid software goes, there is Toonz Premium which replaced Toonz Harlequin. You are more likely to get answers faster here than anywhere else.ĭon't worry about asking too many questions.
The google community is usually watched by developers and probably most OT users.
There are probably other sites I'm not aware of.
Since the launch, it is the place noted on the official website for the OT community to get news, ask questions, offer suggestions, submit feature requests and even report problems.īug and issues can be reported on Github as well.ĭiscord (basically a chat server), Reddit and other social sites came about later. This OT Google group is, I guess, the official forum for the OT community.
This might be a bit off topic for this subject, anyway.
