About Cut-out Animation

Harmony provides some great tools for rigging and animating cut-out character models. You can make simple rigs or give your characters flexible capabilities using peg hierarchies, groups, composites, cutters, and deformers, among other things. You can create basic animations with the Transform tool, or more advanced animation with Inverse Kinematics as well as Bone and Curve Deformers. Harmony also supports advanced onion skin and image swapping features to help you animate efficiently and quickly.
