Scripting animation tools

To speed up my creative process in Toon Boom Harmony, I used JavaScript to write scripts that automated repetitive tasks. These tools were made in 2019, and Toon Boom may have since added similar features natively.

Name Composite After Peg

Uses the peg hierarchy to copy peg names onto corresponding composites. Includes options to customize naming syntax and auto-indexing.

Reset Selected Deformer Groups

Quickly resets a full deformer group without manually selecting curves in the Camera view, Node view, or Timeline. Useful for both animation and rigging.

Change All Composites in Scene to Passthrough

Automatically toggles all composites in the scene to passthrough. The script finds and updates every composite, no manual selection needed.
