Improvements

Master Controllers

Feature Description
Automatically Filter Attributes

A new option that controls whether attributes that do not change over time should be added when creating a master controller is now available in the Stack, Grid and Slider wizards. This new option, named Automatically Filter Attributes, will omit attributes that have the same value for the duration of the source frame range and will not add them to the Master Controller.

Fixed Issues

The following issues have been fixed in this release of Harmony:

Drawing Tools

  • A hidden preference was added to allow users to lower the drawing precision and simulate the drawing experience from Harmony 14. When the preference is enabled, Harmony will round coordinates of points received from the mouse or drawing tablet, creating bumpier lines.

    You can enable this preference by downloading, importing and running the script from the URL below:

    docs.toonboom.com/go/download/ToggleDrawingToolsRoundsCoordinates

  • A hidden preference was added that can be used to disable smoothing of vectors when using the Perspective tool in Lattice mode.

    You can enable this preference by downloading, importing and running the script from the URL below:
