Moho (Anime Studio) Tutorials

Create your own 3D objects from 2D vector layers

While you can have Anime Studio automate the shading process, it's usually best to manually apply the effect so you can have greater control over it. This tutorial shows you how to create some basic cartoon shading effects using the Add Point and Create Shape Tools. This is part 1 of a mini series on shading and shadows.

Join award-winning animator and Anime Studio Master Victor Paredes in this 1-hour webinar as he shows you how to simplify your workflow and speed up your animation process by using pre-made characters and backgrounds in Anime Studio. Pre-made content is great for beginners who still find it challenging to create their own and it can be a time saver for professionals with tight deadlines. For artists who are looking to create and sell their own content packs, Victor will share his opinion on what they should include and share a few helpful tricks to make it easier. The webinar concludes with a brief Q&A session.

Anime Studio Halloween Content Pack

This tutorial is to show you all how to use masking to create a gradient lighting effect that you would use for making flashlight or torch effects. It's pretty simple to achieve but you need to make two separate pieces of artwork .

You can do this by using another program such as Illustrator like I did or you can do it in Anime Studio by creating a background, duplicating and then changing all of the colors. I just used Illustrator because it's much easier for me to create backgrounds in it!

Once you've done this, you really only need to use a mask and use the LAYER blur function to make it look more realistic. (if that's what you're going for.)

As always, when you think of masking always remember it is a way to hide or reveal things!!!!!!!!
