Press Release from Toon Boom
Toon Boom Animation Inc. announced the new Harmony solution, which was demonstrated during MIPTV 2011, at the Toon Boom booth. With this most advanced Harmony solution, Toon Boom is calling on all studios to get on board.
Draw the Line Between Flash and a True Animation PipelineHarmony delivers capabilities that simply did not exist before. Starting with MagicBrush, the ability to draw with pencil lines supporting textures, then on to FlexiBone, the ability to deform images and drawings over a period of time using advanced bone animation features, Effects Inside, the ability to access built-in particle effects and dozens of other effects, and finally, 2D-3D Integration, the ability to import and modify 3D assets within Harmony as well as transform elements on all 3 axes. As the main animation production backbone, Harmony offers full artistic freedom with ease of use and total control.
Draw the Line Between The Past and NowBuilding upon its solid foundation in traditional animation, Harmony skyrockets your animation styles to untapped creative ground, offering mind-blowing digital capabilities to creators. By adopting Harmony, studios join a vibrant community in which Toon Boom acts as the glue to connect and facilitate introductions.
Draw the Bottom LineWith its impressive track record and field-proven efficiency, Harmony is the industry standard for animation production. As a studio owner or artist, relying on a technology that takes you on a growth path makes pure business sense. Harmony can be set as a scalable pipeline to reflect your needs and production volume. In addition, Toon Boom offers flexible options to make Harmony available to studios of any size: you can choose to lease, work on a project-base or purchase.
"Studios and animators will be very impressed, especially the Flash studios who will see in this latest version, an opportunity to jump the fence and join the Toon Boom community," said Joan Vogelesang, President and Chief Executive Officer of Toon Boom Animation.
