Lip Syncing Techniques in Toon Boom Animate

 

If you’ve never explored how lip syncing is done in Toon Boom Animate, this is an essential lesson. This 90 minute course is split into two parts and teaches various techniques for ‘cut out animation’ style lip syncing.  The tutorial discusses the difference between using drawing substitutions and symbols in regards to lip syncing, and teaches how to sync up a character during a turn around pose. In this package you also get a fully rigged character, setup up for talking, and 4 more Animate example files used in the tutorial. By the end of it, you’ll probably agree Animate has some amazing audio features!

Walk and Run Cycles Tutorial

This 90 minute lesson teaches various techniques for animating walk or run cycles in Toon Boom Animate. Your instructor assumes you already know the basics of character rigging, but if not the source files provided include 3 pre-rigged characters to begin animating with. Which means you’ll get an unanimated and completed character file for the Side View Walk Cycle, Front 3/4 View Walk Cycle, and Side View Run Cycle (6 files total). These source files alone are a valuable resource as the character art can be modified without affecting the completed cycles.

Stick Men Animations

Stick Men Animation Tutorial using Toon Boom Animate

 The “fighting stick men” genre has gotten quite popular with YouTube videos, and while it might seem amateurish, the simplicity of stick figures provide a great exercise in character animation. Using stick figures one can work quicker than animating a more realistic figure, but still get a great sense for timing and human dynamics. This course is broken down into separate parts for designing and rigging the basic stick man,  walking and running, inverse kinematics, animating a fight scene, and finally adding sounds.
