Start Drawing#

After creating your first Camera and Animation Actor, you will be able to enable the Odyssey Editor Mode to draw something:

Tip

Before starting to draw something, don’t forget to select the Animation Actor first (it must be highlighted in blue).

Add new Cells#

In the context of storyboard, Animation Actors will contain at least 1 layer with a post-behavior “Hold”. If you want to insert another Cell, you can hit this button to break the current Cell and generate a new empty Cell:

Cells exposure#

There are 3 ways to adjust the timing of the Cells:

  1. From the Board View, by moving the tiny diamond-shaped keys.

  1. From the Timeline panel

  1. From within the Shot Sequence

Delete Cells#

This can only be achieved from the Timeline panel or within the Shot Sequence:

Warning

Never, ever, use Delete or Backspace or you might delete the Animation Actors and its reference to the Level and Sequence, which can cause a crash.

The Light Table#

The Light Table can be enabled from the Timeline panel or within the Shot Sequence, as it is enabled per Layer.

Add Layers#

Additional Layers shall be created from the Timeline panel or within the Shot Sequence.
