Animating a Walking Quadruped in Toon Boom Harmony Premium

In this Toon Boom Harmony Premium tutorial, we’ll learn how to animate a walking quadruped. Software required: Toon Boom Harmony Premium 12.1.

We’ll learn how to create all the poses needed to animate a walk for any type of quadruped. We’ll begin by providing an overview of the cutout horse rig we’ll be using to create these poses. From here, we’ll spend several lessons creating the key poses for the horse followed by copying and pasting keyframes to create the remaining poses needed to complete the walk. Following this, we’ll spend some time editing some in-between poses and animating the tale and mane. We’ll conclude by seeing how we can cycle and translate the horse through a scene over time. By the end of this Toon Boom Harmony Premium training, you’ll have a better understanding of how to animate any type of quadruped. Software required: Toon Boom Harmony Premium 12.1.
