Rigging Bitmap Character

Hey Guys!

Thursday the 30th of September 2021

Because I'm 'special', I'm rigging my character as a bitmap instead of vector.

Watching Tutorial of:

    https://www.toonboom.com/little-taco-truck-check-out-these-toon-boom-harmony-bitmap-tutorials

Didn't bring headphones cause thought didn't need them, I was wrong.

Seems like need to extract more images/files from Rey for it to work.

How to Import Bitmap layers into Harmony as Drawing Layers:

Backgrounds:

• Looking to tv
• Climbing through window
• Looking to kitchen
• run across lounge

• Low angle going into hallway
• looking from back bookcase
• looking to fox, 3/4 back of bookcase
• 3/4 looking from back bookcase 
• front of fox
• Memory - 'lounge background from chair'
• about to hit Photo-frame
• high angle, looking to lounge from bookcase
• high angle, looking to parent's from bookcase

• Doorway
• climbing up the side table
• Mother Background
• Rey talking background - looking to bed
• Monster closing in.

To Draw for Rigged:

• Rey

• Back hood down in fear.
• Curled up in ball.
• 3/4 back (drawn once, use for both flip)
• Separate shoes into 3 layers.
• Monster, front (knees up), side (full), 3/4 back and 3/4 (left) face.
• Father, separate into layers for subtle movements.
• Mother, side and slight 3/4 left.

Animate in Procreate to import into Harmony:

• Taking Hood off.
• Head Turn and Lip sync: Left to right, Look at blog, Lip Sync (https://kynnanimation1.blogspot.com/2021/05/lip-sync.html) to what lips need to draw.

Note: may add hair movement to front when monster talks to show power in his voice.

In Class:

Will need to add curve deformer on string
