Moho (Anime Studio) Tutorials

Anime Studio Pro 8 can automatically convert imported images into vector objects that can be edited within the program. This digitising can save a lot of time.

How to use styles within Anime Studio

Although Anime Studio is a 2D program, it does have some 3D features such as the ability creating a 3D shape from a vector layer, these 3D objects can then be animated within the program. They can also be saved as .obj files.

While Anime Studio is primarily used for 2D vector graphics, it also has the ability to make simple 3D objects. In this lesson Chad shows you how to convert 2D images into 3D objects.

The eye dropper now works with others layers not just vector layers.
The selected colour value/number is then saved to the clipboard ready for use.

Everything you need to make amazing, professional animation. Moho™ Pro 12 (formerly Anime Studio Pro) offers the most powerful 2D rigging system of the market and mix it with traditional animation tools, allowing to get professional results easier and faster.

See what's new in Moho Pro 12, including:

1. NEW! Bezier Handles: Get more design control with customizable vector bezier handles. Create unique line bends with fewer points! Freehand Tools produce less points as well!

2. NEW! Select Switch Window: Lip syncing and other frame by frame animations are easier to achieve! All Switch Layers can be viewed and keyed with the Select Switch Window. Having a visual interface speeds up animation tasks!

. NEW! Smart Warp: Create custom meshes that can bend, shape, twist and animate assets. Works for both images and vectors!

4. NEW! Improved Vector Import/Export: Import or export vector files without compromise! With improved SVG support, all points, lines and colors will transfer. This creates possibilities for true multi-software workflows.

5. NEW! Realistic Motion Blur: A new setting allows for true motion blur. Control the amount of frames and blend. Apply to any moving asset for instant results!

6. NEW! New Layers Window: The column based setup allows for searching, filtering, tagging, commenting and organizing layers. The columns are customizable and finding the layers you need has never been faster.

7. NEW! Auto Freeze Pose: With Auto-Freeze Keys turned on, when you move a bone, all other bones in the rig will be keyed. This ensures body parts only move when intended. No more floating bones!

8. NEW! Animate Multiple Layers at the Same Time: Get MORE done by editing multiple layers on the timeline in Moho™ 12. No more jumping back and forth between layers for complex tasks!

9. NEW! More Timeline Enhancements: Mute individual channels to isolate actions, split X, Y and Z channels for more control over your animations and more.

10. NEW! Pin Bones: Add one point bones to alter, move and reshape assets in fun new ways. Combine with traditional bones for more complex animations. Works with both vectors and images!

In this quick tip McCoy takes you through Anime Studio Pro 11 to show you how to make holes in your shapes using 3 different examples!

While you could build a mouth without a mask, this tutorial shows you a quick way to achieve easy mouth movements with a vector mask layer. From here, you can then build your character and even create actions for the mouth phonemes.
