Moho (Anime Studio) Tutorials

Showing the bone enhancements made in Anime Studio Pro 10

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.

This tutorial is for anyone who wants to create randomly flickering lights in anime studio. All you need to do is create two separate pieces of artwork (this can even work for photos) and use a smart bone to turn one of the layers on and off randomly. It may not seem easy at first, but once you learn how to use it you'll probably use it all the time!

This is a tutorial was made to show anime studio users how to use the bone scale, bone rotate and camera tools to make a simple walk cycle animation for a forward facing character.

This tutorial is really the same a the morphing tutorial but connected to a smart bone action so you can change your character at any time real easy.
This would be great for any characters you need to transform back and forth throughout your animations like a vampire character or a werewolf.
You can also use this technique for other things like animating hair growing or items transforming.
It's quick and really easy to set up once you have a character rigged!

With a combination of Dynamic Bones and Smart Bone dials, you can create realistic breast physics for any of your female characters. You can combine these techniques or use them separately, depending on your needs. In the end, this video will take you through the process in adding some polish (and bounce) to the ladies of Anime Studio.

Join Vern in this 1-hour webinar as he shows you how to create your own facial control rigs to animate the faces of your characters in Anime Studio Pro. Learn how to build simple controls for opening and closing the eyes, and for animating the eyebrows. These control rigs will allow you to animate features such as these both separately and/or together.

Do you ever get frustrated with bones over the face of your characters that clutter up the preview while trying to animate? As part of the face control rig, Vern will also cover creating an "External Control Rig" in Anime Studio using the Bone Constraints feature. The "External Bone Control Rig" will eliminate visual clutter allowing for a completely clean preview of the character's face during animation. By making use of a non-rendering vector layer, "control markers" are assigned to the control bones and the bone display can be turned off completely in the Anime Studio preview. Nothing will block or interfere with your view of the characters head and face while you animate. By using the ideas presented in this webinar you can simplify and streamline your animation process.

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.
