Harmony 24’s allows you to add atmospheric effects like dust motes, sun flares, and volumetric lighting directly within the software. You can use the Cutter and Tone nodes to ensure the character feels integrated into a rustic, hand-painted background. Key Workflow Advantages

Harmony 24 continues to offer powerful tools for artists, including advanced rigging, brush engines, and compositing features. Harmony 24 Premium Documentation: Creating Templates
