Moho (Anime Studio) Tutorials

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.

Join me as I animate the crab from my new character design course.We will discuss ways to use the timeline and create smoother animation. My apologizes, some portions of my timeline were covered during the video. My stream software has been giving me issues so this was prerecorded.

Target Bones are a really powerful tool that was introduced in Anime Studio 10. In this lecture learn exactly how a target bone works, why you would use it, and how you would use it.

This is from the Intermediate Rigging Course

Making a TV series is a bit like a puzzle and Moho animation software is an essential piece that completes it. In this webinar, Jeremy Purcell (Assistant Director) will be showing how Moho worked with other tools like Shotgun, Deadline, Photoshop and After Effects to produce the TV Series Puffin Rock.

Topics that will be covered in this webinar include:

- Bringing a character from design to compositing
- Seeing inside a character model
- Working with a studio in another country on the same files
- Seeing what a scene file is made up of

This is a chance for you to see how a bigger animation production, Puffin Rock, and its 78 x 7 minute episodes structured a pipeline around Moho to get the best out of the software as well as how it works with other departments in the production.

About the Presenter: Jeremy was Assistant Director on two seasons of Puffin Rock, for a total of 78 episodes. Prior to that, he was Efx Supervisor on two feature films with Cartoon Saloon: 'Brendan and the Secret of Kells' and 'Song of the Sea'. He is currently working on Cartoon Saloon's next feature, 'The Breadwinner', as well as in pre-production on their next Moho TV series.

The character wizard can help you to create character movements quickly. Don't be put off by the default or the randomize output as these are just starting blocks.

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!

If you have used my tutorial on making a character or you have MOHO 12 you may have wanted to make your own custom clothes or you just wanted to tweak something that's already there. This tutorial is to show you how to do that and save time on character creation without having to do a lot of re-rigging or re binding.
It's meant to be pretty easy to do so if you have any questions or comments just leave them down below and thanks for watching!

Well, here it is yall! My attempt at making a Minecraft-like character in Anime Studio Pro! It's fairly easy and I really like the ability to maneuver it in 3D space!
Be warned though, the way I've set it up relies heavily on the "Rotate XY" tool for animating it and it may take some getting use to.

In this lesson we go over Anime Studio Pro 8's most notable feature, the Character Wizard. Learn how to create characters and animations in mere minutes using this unique tool.

This is a tutorial for adding movement to a character that is already rigged with bones. It's less a tutorial and more on how to make key frames for quick movements. This is assuming you already know how to rig a character with bones.
