Sceneplanning and Animating Elements

Use the 3D Sceneplanning views to lay out your elements and make them change over time. With the Timeline window, you can see when elements start and end, and when drawings and images change. You can use the Timeline window to add and manage peg, camera and effects elements, as well as manage the timing of drawings and images in your scene.

When animating, you can view your element layers from three different perspectives. This allows you to see how elements work together through the scene.

When animating, you can:

Change the north/south and east/west position of element layers. You can also change the front/back position of elements to create a sense of depth in your scene.
Change the rotation or size of element.
Use pegs to move elements through a scene to create multiplane effects.
Create camera effects, such as pans, trucks and zooms.

Toon Boom Studio can automatically interpolate all of the drawings in an element! The quality of your images is preserved through all transformations thanks to vector technology.

At any time during the process, you can perform quick tests to check your animation or see it in real-time.
