Sneak peek at a @ToonBoom rig I’m working on for an upcoming project. I’m currently working on rigging his full turnaround and then I’ll add a mouth pack to wrap him up. Rigged and animated in #ToonBoomHarmony 24. Character design by Adam DiTerlizzi.

@DatChaosGuy Looks like one of those cheap straight to DVD mockbuster things you’d find in the dollar bin at Walmart. Like “Ratatouing” or “The Little Cars Adventure” or whatever lol. AI is perfect for the mockbuster “genre” since it’s all about stealing and deception. Fits right in!

That is NOT Judy Hopps big dawg that’s Jane Jumps

@ToonBoom @doodles @_Goldenwolf_ Going to download and start testing today! Love the look of the new breakdown tool.

It's time to say hi to Harmony 25 & Storyboard Pro 25 This release introduces powerful new tools supporting every stage of the production process. @Doodles and @_Goldenwolf_ partnered with us by providing demo assets from Dullsville and the Doodleverse. hubs.ly/Q03rsck30

A salute to all theme parks, but mostly Universal.

@charliepgavin Remaking Lilo and Stitch just seems crazy to me. It’s perfect as is… why not just re-release the original in theaters? It would probably be a huge hit and wouldn’t cost Disney much at all, if anything.

@charliepgavin My dad worked at Disney Feature Animation Florida and when I was a kid I was fortunate enough to be able to go hang out at the studio many times during production on Mulan, Lilo, and Brother Bear. Its where I fell in love with animation!

Watching people blindly celebrate the new cynical ‘live action’ Lilo and Stitch rewarming is a little stomach churning honestly

glad Coyote vs Acme will come out, but I still don't get why so many people online only talked about The Day The Earth Blew Up as a bargaining chip, like "fiiine we'll go see this one because then maybe they'll release the other one"

@PeterJCasaey If someone working at the old Bluth studio turned in a scene like… whatever that AI thing is… they would be fired so fast.

The reason why all animation from AI looks stiff and lifeless is because unlike prompters and AI itself, Animation is more about what the character is feeling at any given moment and how to convey that to the audience Animators know this, prompters do not. They think surface lvl

@MesalieGuimond @ToonBoom So they're like little points attached to the rig drawings that you can use to deform them intro different shapes. This is a rig I built for someone back in 2023, you can see the deformers in action around the 0:26 mark: youtube.com/watch?v=YlESLO…

@JTNAnimator @ToonBoom How does the deformers work?

@MesalieGuimond @ToonBoom Just by drawing over it! Then I’ll use the deformers in the rig to match the drawings.

@JTNAnimator @ToonBoom Cool! Now how did you placed your hand-drawn posses into the rig?

@MesalieGuimond @ToonBoom The character all rigged but very influenced by traditional animation. I end up doing a lot of drawing before I start my animation usually and then matching the rig to it.

@JTNAnimator @ToonBoom Is it a mix of rigged and traditional animation that you maxed here in this character?

@belemonguin @ToonBoom It’s funny I was just thinking about this today as I was finishing and testing the rig… I may go back and do a more robust setup on his feet, I’m not big on how the bone deformers are working.

@JTNAnimator @ToonBoom Nice one! I see you made feet with bone deformer. Are you not worried to have less flexibility with the deformer on the feet?

@cafogartyart @TravisFowler31 Incredible!

@TravisFowler31 @JTNAnimator WH-HOW

You can't make something from nothing... Unless you're Maulie. Every shot of Dungeon Flippers was meticulously planned with storyboards before being animated!

@TravisFowler31 I’m very interested to see how you did the 3D effect! Was that all done in Harmony using the perspective tools or did you build a 3D background? 😮

@bfredmuggs Love the look of this short! The backgrounds have a very Ralph Bakshi look to them, was that an influence?

One of the early pilots we produced at the studio was A KITTY BOBO SHOW (2001). It lost the Big Pick that year to Kids next Door. I always thought the look and tone of this one was ahead of its time and skewed too old for kids. Adult Swim wasn’t too deep into originals yet, but this could have been a great fit there if they were. Created by Kevin Kaliher and Meaghan Dunn.

@Sunflowerclub_ @Imagine2Create We have a good deadline for the first batch of @Clenchport material now!

‼️THE NEXT #IndieAnimationDay IS NOVEMBER 16TH!! ‼️ ONE MONTH AWAY!! What will you be sharing the next IAD or what are you excited to see? 👀💛

Shoutout to my friend Maggie Smith who did the beautiful background art! She’s also working on the pilot for the @Clenchport series I’m developing with @Imagine2Create. Such an honor to be supported by such amazing talent!

Getting back into working on personal #animation projects this weekend! Here’s a multiplane camera test I did in @ToonBoom Harmony for a side project I’m working on. Used my Norm rig as a stand in! He won’t be the main character for these shorts but he may cameo! #indieanimation
