Automatic shadow generation and animation

Harmony Harmony General Discussion

Hey there,

I was wondering if there is some edge detection based shadow module that would generate the shadows and also animate them according to the contour changes. Some thing like the following video. Please watch from 1:17 onwards.

Is there some module that can does something like this in Toon Boom Harmony?

Thanks and regards.

Please have a look at the Light Shading Effect:

A Tone/Hilight effect coupled with an Apply Peg Transform using the source element (ex: the character itself), and maybe a Matte Resize would do a very similar thing shown in this video.
