Toon Boom Ember, introduced as a beta test in early spring, is now available as an add-on to users of Storyboard Pro 25 and Harmony 25. These opt-in AI tools allow professional teams to work with fewer interruptions, iterate faster and focus on the creative process. Rather than attempt to replicate the work which artists and animators contribute to a project, Ember's purpose is to assist. 21 day free trial with Harmony 25.
Reduce scene load times and long file transfers with smaller project files in Storyboard Pro and Harmony 25. This quality-of-life improvement to Storyboard Pro and Harmony was made possible by both optimizing the structure of and compressing complex project files. Additionally, both Storyboard Pro and Harmony 25 have an option to save a project as a compact file structure, ideal for collaborating remotely with artists and studios.
Originally created by Pixar, Universal Scene Description (USD) is an open standard for transferring 3D scene data along a CGI production pipeline. Harmony Premium 25 supports importing 3D models in the USDZ format, as well as importing and exporting animation data and camera movements. This update significantly expands flexibility for new pipeline integrations.
Draw with the same brushes in your storyboards and animation that were used in visual development. Storyboard Pro, Harmony Advanced, and Harmony Premium 25 can directly import Photoshop ABR brushes, allowing artists to expand their brush libraries. ABR brushes can either be imported as vector and bitmap brushes, and can also be used as erasers.
Improving on drawing tools in Storyboard Pro and Harmony, artists can now adjust the opacity and thickness of existing pencil lines by drawing over with the Pencil Line Retouch Tool in Storyboard Pro, Harmony Advanced and Harmony Premium 25. This allows pencil lines to more accurately mimic natural media while remaining versatile and adjustable throughout the ink & paint process.
Fly through your first pass with the new Quick Thumbnailing Workflow in Storyboard Pro 25. Draw your thumbnails in a brand new interface — or print out a grid for thumbnailing on paper and then scan your sketches back into Storyboard Pro! Your thumbnails will be automatically distributed to their own panels.
Edit animatics with ease thanks to the Enhanced Effect Stack View in Storyboard Pro 25. Originally introduced to give animatic editors more precise control over sound timing, the Effect Stack View now enables editors to adjust and keyframe a wide range of layer transformations and effects. This makes it easy to make subtle adjustments to opacity, position, scale, rotation and skew.
Add more effects to your storyboards and animatics using the Effect Stacks View in Storyboard Pro 25. These non-destructive layer effects do not change the content of your panels, allowing artists to explore blurs, contrast adjustments and blending modes, while retaining the flexibility to redraw elements in a scene. These effects can all be keyframed and animated using the Effect Stack View.
Focus more on the drawings that matter most by quickly toggling multiple layers. In Storyboard Pro 25, you can click and hold on the Eyes button in the Layers View and then drag your cursor across other layers. These layers will be shown or hidden depending on the state of the Eyes clicked to initiate the drag, which can be helpful when working with reference material or multiple imported layers.
