Toon Boom Harmony Premium is the leading, industry-standard software for professional 2D animation production. Used by major studios worldwide, it provides a complete, integrated pipeline from drawing and rigging to final compositing and output. The “Premium” version unlocks the full suite of advanced tools, including 3D integration, deformers, and network rendering, enabling the creation of complex, multi-plane scenes with advanced effects, cameras, and lighting for feature films, TV series, and game assets.
Toon Boom Harmony Premium is developed for professional 2D animators, animation studio artists, storyboard artists, and production teams in TV, film, and gaming. It is specifically designed for studios and individuals producing high-quality, broadcast-ready 2D animation using a hybrid pipeline that combines cut-out (puppet) animation with traditional frame-by-frame techniques.
Hybrid Animation Pipeline: Seamlessly integrate vector/raster drawing, cut-out puppet animation (with advanced rigging and deformers), and traditional frame-by-frame animation within the same scene.
Advanced Rigging & Deformation System: Create sophisticated character rigs using bones, inverse kinematics (IK), and a wide array of deformers (envelope, curve, squash & stretch) for natural, fluid movement.
3D Integration & Camera Multiplaning: Import 3D models (OBJ, FBX) and use the 3D camera to create deep, dynamic scenes with parallax, depth of field, and realistic perspective shifts.
Effects & Compositing Nodes: A powerful node-based compositing system for applying blur, glow, distortion, and other visual effects, and for integrating 2D/3D elements with precise control.
Color Art & Palette Management: Industry-leading color management tools, including seamless switching between color models (RGB/CMYK), advanced palette editors, and color harmony rules.
Peg-Based Animation & Timeline: A non-destructive, layer-based timeline with “pegs” for hierarchical animation, easing, and special effects applied to any element.
Network Rendering (Premium): Distribute rendering tasks across multiple machines to drastically reduce final output times for large productions.
Version 25 is a significant release focused on performance, modern asset management, and next-generation drawing tools:
New “Blaze” Drawing Engine: A completely reimagined vector/raster drawing engine offering significantly faster brush strokes, smoother lines, and reduced lag, especially on high-resolution canvases.
Universal Asset Browser: A new centralized, fast, and searchable browser for managing all project assets (characters, props, backgrounds, sound files) across local and network locations.
Enhanced Performance & Caching: Major optimizations to the playback system and caching architecture for smoother real-time previews of complex scenes with many layers and effects.
Updated Timeline & Keyframe Workflow: A more intuitive timeline with improved keyframe editing, new interpolation types, and better visual feedback for animation curves.
Modernized UI & Dark Theme: A refreshed user interface with an optional dark theme to reduce eye strain during long production hours.
