New Features in Harmony 16

T-H16NEW-000-001

When working on a production, efficiency is key and Harmony is all about helping you stay focused. Through a set of new powerful tools, Harmony 16 supports pipeline integration and helps you be more efficient, increase your productivity, and solidify your workflow process.

Lets get started!

Effortless Drawing Substitutions

Cut-out rigs can contain many drawing substitutions, enabling animators to quickly swap one drawing for another during the animation phase. With the new Drawing Substitutions view in Harmony 16, all drawings for the selected layer are now conveniently displayed as thumbnails. You can;

• Quickly view all available substitutions and easily make your selection.

• Zoom in/out to view larger or smaller thumbnails.

• Pop out the window and resize it to display more thumbnails.

Animate Onion Skin Range

Expedite the task of manually editing a prop, character or pose over multiple frames with this new tool. Select your element, define the frames via the Onion Skin and make your modifications. It’s as simple as that!

Apply to Onion Skin Range

Swiftly make changes with this new flexible feature. Use the Onion Skin to select your drawing or simply a portion of what you want to change. Apply your changes with the Paint and Select tools which will quickly modify your selection across multiple frames.

Export to GIF

Instantly transform your scene into an animated GIF with Harmony 16’s new export feature. Don’t forget to share your GIF for a chance to go viral!

Improved Interactivity

Interactive software rendering speeds have been improved. If a prop is modified or an effect is added to a character or a scene, Harmony 16 will merely render the item changed and not the entire scene, significantly cutting down render times. Harmony 16 also has faster rendering speeds for 4K scenes.
