Moho (Anime Studio) Tutorials

This is a follow up to the "Switch Layer Dials" tutorial. It is just a faster easier way to set up a smart bone to control switch layers!

In this video I'm using it to rig a mouth switch layer to a smart bone and then us the bone to help me lip sync!

A 1000 thank you's to Victor Paredes for clueing me in on how to set this up the easy way and to show me how to use the copy previous keyframe function in Anime Studio! Awesome all day!!!

This is more of a test rather than a tutorial but I wanted to share the process of making and rigging a character with a technique that introduced to me on the Anime Studio Pro facebook page on a post by Paul McGrath. In it, he shared a tutorial about rigging a character so that when you move a part of the body, the body itself will move. It was made by Alexander Ptichkin ( I think thats his name) but it is in Russian so I couldn't understand. Victor Paredes of course came to the rescue and post a response on how he thought this might be done! So this is really just a test rig I had to make because I was so hype about trying the it out! As always there are probably a couple to tips and tricks that might help you guys and gals create your rigs a little faster so you can get to the fun part of bringing you art to life!!!!!

With the inclusion of intervals inside AS, we have the option to animate on 2s, 3s or whatever interval we want.
I always liked this feature, but I wasn't able to get good results with it. Now I finally got an idea to get good animations in 2s and want to share this "tutorial" with you.
The difference between animating on 1s (each single frame has animation) and animating on 2s (the movement holds each two frames) could seem subtle, but it opens a lot of possibilities, gives more control over the animation and also and gives the movement another -less computational- rhythm.

This is a tutorial on how to simulate a flag or any other type of material look like it is blowing in the wind as well as how to simulate cloth movement...somewhat realistically!

This technique was NOT created by me! All credit goes to Victor Paredes.

For those of you who don't know, he is an Anime Studio Guru, professional animator and works with SmithMicro!

This was upload with his permission on the channel "Gilbert Concepcion". The channel seems to be inactive for a few years but you can check out his original video here!

This video covers the same concept but uses bones so you can add textures or pictures onto your object if you want to make your objects look more realistic.

The video also covers a technique I came up with a long time ago to mimic the movement of cloth. It's not perfect but you guys might find it useful for your animations!
