Animating with OpenToonz - Part 4. Adding effects - Glow, Blur & Shadows (4 of 4)

Описание: This is the 4th in a series of 4 tutorials on my process to putting an animation together and how you might do it in OpenToonz. First I briefly show you around the parts of the interface to help setup and use the effects and then I talk through how the effects are added and then add some effects to the animation.

The video is quite long, but that's because I give lots of tips and explain & show each step of the process. I also chose to add quite a few effects to finish off this animation, to show them added for a realistic purpose. However, I start simple, with lots of information and speed up as I add the other effects. Feel free though, once you know the basics, to jump straight to the effect you're interested in:
