In Toon Boom Harmony, how do you edit gradients?
The second icon on the tool bar if you click and hold, the last tool option is the edit gradient tool. To enable a gradient, you need to first create or edit a swatch and click Gradient to enable it and then choose if you want linear or elliptical.
The above video, though fast, shows this. Please do use the option to slow down the video if it's too fast.
The edit gradient tool is really great and works best on vector layers. It has resize, rotate and skew and is also very easy to move about. As far as I know, even the gradient can be animated but I have not tried to do so since I don't often use gradients in my animations other than for a colour overlay effect over the entire animation.
I, like many others, looked for this tool with the painting options and became quite frustrated. It took some getting used to but once you know where this tool is, it makes editing your work a lot easier.
The edit gradient tool also edits textures and texture positions in much the same way that it edits gradients. When using textures the other settings are in the tool properties window and are worth playing around with, especially if your textures are applied to drawings that are binded to bone rigs or cut out animation.
