“After reading this book, my personal projects went from looking like a total noob to looking like studio quality work”
Tyler Leonard
“Instruction manuals are USUALLY written by tech people who program stuff. But as an artist, trying to interpret manuals usually makes my brain go night-night. But the lord hath smiled down upon me and brought me Oli Putland's manual. Written by an ANIMATOR for ANIMATORS and ARTISTS. It was like watching cartoons and being tricked into learning something.”
David Stodolny
Disney & Dreamworks Animator
“This must be the sexiest tutorial I've ever seen, and knowing this is ToonBoom Harmony we're talking about, that means quite something!The very graphical approach makes it not only fun and inviting to read, it also gives you a thorough understanding of all the concepts behind rigging in Harmony.”
Joris Bergmans
Artist & Rigger
“You could spend hours and hours, ransacking the internet for rigging tutorials, tips and tricks... Or you could get Oli's book and get on with life. Your book has helped me lots, I kept it open on a second monitor during my first TBH project. 10/10”
