Moho (Anime Studio) Tutorials

Víctor Paredes shows us how to use the new sketch bone tool in Anime Studio Pro 11.2

A quick tutorial for making realistic moving grass in Anime Studio using a couple of shapes, a couple of bones and a particle layer. All in all it takes less than 10 minutes to do.

In this character rigging video tutorial we are going to talk about a really cool feature that was added in Anime Studio 11.2 known as the sketch bones tool. With this tool you can create complex bone systems and animate those bones with ease!

This tutorial is on how to animate water waves in Anime Studio Pro. With one piece of artwork and a small amount of animating frames, you can simulate the movement of a liquid surface. It's a fairly straight forward tutorial but you must have Anime Studio Pro in order to use the particles. Also, be aware that using large amounts of particles that also contain effects like blurring or gradients will slow down your computer when rendering. Make sure you have your animation down before doing a full render!

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

By using a combination of onionskins, frame labelling and bone colouring, it's very possible to create a believable running animation cycle no matter what type of character design is used.
Along with this video is a workflow chart you may find useful.

This is a quick tutorial on how to create and digital numbers in Anime Studio using a grid and switch layers. Although Anime Studio has a number sequencer built into it, I thought it would be nice to show users how to create their own numbers to give them practice with use of the grid and also some practice on using switch layers for something other than mouths and hands. It's fairly straight forward so shouldn't be to hard for even the novice user to follow along!
