Coming Soon- Abdominal Study

So no post today like I'd hoped but I do plan to do a bulk upload. I'm going to re-study abdominal muscles.

Compiling Your Scenes in OpenToonz

At some point, you will want to merge certain scenes or projects together. As long as you can navigate to the folder you saved it in, it's very easy to do.

Then simply render as you normally would or send to a renderfarm if that's something you're into. My PC can handle rendering and I only make small projects so it's never been an issue for me personally. Just make sure to fully utilize the Sub-xhseet folder system and you could very easily have a neat and well polished project with a few simple clicks.
