A complete guide to OpenToonz & Tahoma2D for 2D animation

A full guide to animating traditionally for FREE with OpenToonz & Tahoma2D - 2D animation software

Created by: Darren T
Animator and online educator with OpenToonz

What Will I Learn?

• How to draw and animate digitally in these free, open-source programs
• How to animate using traditional 2D techniques, but using a digital workflow
• In-depth explanation of the core concepts of OpenToonz & Tahoma2D
• Full demonstration of all of the drawing tools that you'll need
• Hands-on projects carefully designed to quickly bring students up to speed

Requirements

• The only requirement is that you have a computer. I'll be presenting on a Windows computer. I'll show how you install and setup the software.
• It would be preferable to use a drawing tablet, but you can use a mouse initially during the course until you decide to purchase one.

Target audience

• Students who are interested in creating traditional 2D animation in a digital environment
• Students who have used other animation software and want to migrate to OpenToonz or Tahoma2D
• Students who are interested in other forms of digital animation (2D cut out, flexi-animation, effects animation) and need to know the basics of using OpenToonz or Tahoma2D. This is a great starter course to understanding the basic concepts shared between these programs
