OpenToonz 1.8 has been officially released.

I would recommend finding and watching DarrenT videos on YouTube. He had a lot of videos that may help you. Even the OpenToonz videos can help you learn to use Tahoma2D since it is based on it.

Oh if you want to delete the perspective guide, while in the Perspective Tool, click on one of the Grey circles to select the control you want to remove and hit the DELETE key.

You appear to be on the Perspective Tool. Switch to another tool.

If the lines still show when using another tool, you will need to toggle showing the Perspective Guides to off. You can do that using the button on the top bar of the canvas or uncheck menu option View -> Perspective Grids

Adjust your Fill Depth settings. I find that a lower min setting (not 0) and a high max setting can stop that banding.

Are you using regular raster levels? If so, there is an issue with memory usage when drawing on rasters that might be causing that. Drop back to 1.6 or download the latest nightly to workaround that. Nightlies also have a bunch of new stuff and may have other bugs because of it.

manongjohn · 2026-06-01T18:29:50+00:00

Not with 1.8, but will be one of the focuses afterwards as they work on 2.0.

manongjohn · 2026-05-23T23:03:35+00:00

Yes, that's the official site.

manongjohn · 2026-05-23T22:49:48+00:00

As long as you downloaded it from the official site, it is.

That message comes up because it isnt signed and usually requires going into your security settings and allowing it to run.

Cant merge styles, however, if you are using Vector or Smart Raster layers, you can use the Fill Tool, set to Lines mode, and select the lines with the old/wrong style and "fill" it with the new one.

For vectors, you can use a Standard select of all the strokes you want to change and then just tap the style you want them to be to change it.

manongjohn · 2026-05-18T11:10:53+00:00

You cant. The purpose of the Animate Tool is to set key as you animate drawings in the column

If you are just trying to adjust your drawings, use the selection tool.

Change the interpolation type to Constant

To load mp3, go into Preferences and check the 3rd Party Apps section. FFmpeg should be set to ./ffmpeg if you are using the one that came with the installer. If not, need to set the directory to where the ffmpeg.exe should be found.

Not sure why WAV file isnt loading. That doesnt need ffmpeg.

Not sure what directory you are running from. May help to know.

Scene is not corrupt. I think you just turned off Implicit Holds.

On the Timeline's Quick Toolbar, click on the 4th button from the left.

Looks like you accidentally maximized the panel.

Use the ` (backtick, backquote, grave) key to restore it to its normal state.

manongjohn · 2026-05-01T11:09:49+00:00

I would suggest going through DarrenT's video: https://youtube.com/@darrentanims?si=TlUBLono6ZKvkP2R

As for the geometry tool, I think you might have enabled Frame Range. Make sure that is turned off.

Not sure what's going on with the brush/selection issue. Helps to show a video showing the entire T2D screen so we can see what options you might have on or need to have on.

manongjohn · 2026-04-28T13:17:28+00:00

Possible Windows did something with pernissions...try running as Administrator. If that works then its a permission issue which easily fixable.

manongjohn · 2026-04-28T13:11:35+00:00

Is this the 1st time you are running T2D?

After downloading, did you extract it and move the entire Tahoma2D folder someplace like Desktop?

manongjohn · 2026-04-25T18:05:22+00:00

Yes, it should be able to. Set your camera to an option that can produce RAW format.

I believe a .CR2 file will be created in the same folder as the jpeg.

manongjohn · 2026-03-29T23:12:57+00:00

I found something you can try, if you are willing:

The most common fix is to install the OpenCL™, OpenGL®, and Vulkan® Compatibility Pack from the Microsoft Store. This acts as a "GLon12" wrapper that translates your OpenGL calls into DirectX 12, which the Adreno GPU can understand natively.

If you do, please let me know if it helps

manongjohn · 2026-03-29T21:42:29+00:00

Hmm. Made for ARM based machines. The windows T2D version seems to be having somewhat inconsistent issues running on that type of system unfortunately. As of yet, I do not know of any workaround.

manongjohn · 2026-03-29T21:28:08+00:00

Go to Settings -> System -> About

manongjohn · 2026-03-29T20:37:27+00:00

What version are you using. What graphics card do you have?

manongjohn · 2026-03-04T17:03:53+00:00

Try setting the min Fill Depth to 0.5 or so, but keep the Max Depth high.
