Moho (Anime Studio) Tutorials

This is a tutorial that was originally done and described by Funksaname on the anime studio forum. It is a technique for users can use to make great looking bending arms and legs without the use of anime studio patches or using masking techniques! Again, this is not my idea, all credit goes to funksmaname!!!!

New! Animated Bone Targets - Now you can easily switch from one target bone to another when working with animated bone targets. Animating objects where a handoff occurs is now easier and smoother than ever.

Working with Anime Studio Pro, we create mouth phonemes through masked layers and smart bone actions. This setup helps us have infinite mouth combinations and to complete manual lip sync in a unique, efficient way.

In this video Funksmaname shows how he set up a doll character rig in Anime Studio 9 Pro using the new Smart Bones

Using smart bones in Anime Studio pro 10

This tutorial shows one way to set up a basic eye rig in Anime Studio, using bones and masked layers.

Using the 'Bone Offset' tool the pupils can be moved quickly with ease.

There are two examples:
1. Pupils on one masked layer - Pupils can cross over to the other eye
2. Pupils split into two masked layers - Pupils can't cross over

In this lecture I will show you step by step how to set up your rig for a body turn using smart warps

See how Jeremy Purcell from Cartoon Saloon uses Anime Studio Pro.

This one is less about shape staking, but shows a simpler eye setup.
I also discuss Ramon's Lost Layer tool, and Synthsin's mod of Fazek's meshinstance script (I didn't realise Fazek created this originally hence no mention on the video, but Synth's version is the one I use)

I touch on the very basic fundamentals of using Selgin's 'new improved head turn' technique as well.
