The first step in constructing this animation project is importing the source cartoon to a drawing element using the “ import and vectorize” command.

I am unfortunately not able to credit the artist of this cartoon drawing, but it is so full of character and implied action that it just seemed totally appropriate for use in this tutorial. It is a drawing of the great animation director Friz Freleng and one of his most famous stars the Pink Panther. I wanted to keep this tutorial simple, so I chose a cartoon graphic that just screamed out to me to bring it to life in an animation. You can still do this, but there may be an easier way thanks to the “ vectorize with textures” enhancement added in TBS V 4.0.įriz Freleng and the Pink Panther Cartoon Up until now that required doing the cut out and masking in a bit map editing program like Photo Shop and then importing the parts into image elements in TBS for animating. In this tutorial series I am going to begin to show you some of the conceptual ways to use this new feature for doing photo cut out animation.įor a long time TBS users have been wanting to be able to do cut-out animation using source assets that were created as bit mapped graphics. Toon Boom already had excellent support for cut-out animation and this new feature really adds many interesting possibilities. This opens the doorway to many potentially new and creative ways to use TBS, the most significant of which is “ photo cut-out animation”.
It is an added vectorization type “ with texture”. One of the new features of Toon Boom Studio V 4.0 is a deceptively innocent change to “ import and vectorize”.
