Changing the Background Color of a Scene

The background color of all scenes is white by default. You can change the background color of each scene in your movie to suit the context of the action.

To change the background color of a scene:

1. Select the scene in the Scene Manager window.

2. Click the Contextual Menu button and select Properties.

3. Click the Background Color square. The Color dialog box opens.

4. Select a color for the scene background or create your own by clicking Define Custom Colors.

5. Click OK when you are done and Toon Boom Studio will update the scene with the new background color.

You can show/hide the scene background color in the Drawing View window or in the Camera View window.

To show/hide the scene background color in the Drawing View or Camera View windows:

Select View > Show Scene Background Color.

When this option is activated, the scene background color will appear in the Camera View and Drawing View windows.

When this option is not activated, the background color of these windows is determined by the Drawing/Camera setting on the Interface tab of the Preferences dialog box.
