Moho (Anime Studio) Tutorials

Need ants crawling around a garbage can? Or some roaches for a spooky movie scene? Maybe you want to create a pond with fish swimming around it. If so, this tutorial might help. It is a simple way to use a simple animation and particles to create moving swarms.

It uses particles and the follow path tool and a tiny bit of animation on your character and thats it. It is easy to manipulate the speed and direction of your characters with this technique. If you have any questions let me know!

I've made a few tutorials about walk cycles before but I still get a lot of questions about them so I thought I'd make this quick one to show you how to make a walk cycle in detail with instructions and also how to easily change it into a run cycle and change the pace in which your character moves.
It's very simple to do if you have a rigged character and for those of you who have MOHO 12, my character included in the library already has this walk cycle included with it so you can easily use this to convert it into a run cycle if you need!

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.

In part 3 on our series for shading, we add some highlights to the character's face to give the piece more volume. This includes adding highlights to the character's eyes as well. We do this with Anime Studio's Draw Shape and Add Point Tools.
