Characters

If I'm working on a project that has 3 characters, what's the best way to work on this or to save them. Should I be in the same exposure sheet or start a new one for each character. Thank you for your help

Each scene only has one exposure sheet, so if you are using 3 characters in a single scene they will all be on the same exposure sheet. You have the ability to hide elements from display in the exposure sheet which keeps them from cluttering up your viewing with too many columns at a single time. Open up your exposure sheet. Look at the top at the third icon from your right. It is the Toggle Element List button. Click it to show your list of exposure sheet elements. Next to each elements name in that list is a check box. If you un-check the box for an element it will be hidden from the exposure sheet view and will not show in the element stack for the auto light table. You can also drag elements up or down in the list to change there relative position in the element stack. Un-check an element just hides it in exposure sheet view, it still is there and still part of your elements for your scene it is just hidden from view. This is very useful to remove clutter from your exposure sheet view when you have a large number of elements. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Is there a way I can save each character to the library in order to use them in other works ?Do you find this valuable? |

Absolutely. TBS supports templates which can be a simple as a single cell or as complex as an entire scene including sound. It is all part of the library management of assets. If you look in the Toon Boom Templates catalog of your library there are a couple of cut-out characters included one called der der and the other called little boy. They are provided as examples of cut-out characters in the form of library templates that you can use in your animations to learn more about designing your own characters. Of course there is no restriction as to how you animate and create characters, cut-out is just one way. Follow the links on the Index of Tutorials to the tutorials I wrote on animating cut-out characters to learn more about using library template characters and animating them.

So all I have to do is drag the whole character, parts and all, to the global library.

The character should have a top level parent peg that groups all its parts, then you collapse that peg and select it and drag and drop it to your global library. That's it.
