Its centralized database system allows the sharing of assets between scenes and enables the workload to be shared across a studio or between studios.
TOON BOOM SOFTWARE SOFTWARE
This software provides additional capabilities for teams of animators using Harmony who want to share files and manage assets from a central database that is located on a server. Harmony has been in continuous development since 2005 and has been used on productions like The Simpsons, Disney's The Princess and the Frog, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, The Congress and My Little Pony: The Movie, among others. Users can also draw animation directly into the software, using a graphics tablet. Its toolset includes pencil lines with textures, deformation tools, morphing, inverse kinematics, particles, built-in compositor, 3D camera and 2D-3D integration. Harmony contains the tools required to handle cutout (puppet), paperless frame-by-frame and traditional animation workflows from scanning to compositing and 2D/3D integration. The application included built-in video tutorials by the cartoonist.
