Moho (Anime Studio) Tutorials

This tutorial is not a how to create a specific fight sequence in Anime Studio but rather some tips, tricks and techniques that will allow you to create certain movements and interactions with more than one character.

It goes over using cycles to create jumping, perpetual motion, additive cycles, the use of onion skins to help make walking movements, hot to create a punch and reaction and using reference layers to create different depths for individual parts of each character.

Making a tutorial on creating an actual complete fight scene would take days if not weeks to cover everything so think of this as more of a tips video than anything else!

If you've never created a character in Anime Studio before I suggest you watch my tutorials for designing a character and the AT-AT walker to see how to rig a character and how to use target bones. The character design tutorial also covers how I make a face rig too!

If you're looking to make a much more complex type of fight scene, look up frame-by-frame animation and fight scenes on youtube. There are a few great tutorials on the subject and don't pass up the flash ones as the principal is the same!

This is an update/tutorial on making a rigged body turn character and creating lips for female characters.

This tutorial probably wasn't necessary because it literally can be summed up by saying "Watch my character creator tutorial. See the part where I make mouths? Just do that but add lips!" LOL! The same can be said about making a female character really. This is no difference in the construction of a male or female, just slightly different art. But I suppose this is good for those of you who just want to see creating mouths and that alone so in that sense it's good.

The body turn at the beginning is a little ambitious but I want to make a character that can really dance so I'm making it to see how much better I can make a music video like I did before with all of the new improvements to AS. Just wanted to keep you all posted!

This is the first video in a series of designing a character in Moho 12.
I will be taking you through the process from creation to animation.
Please excuse the typo on the layer tongue, thanks.

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!

Join artist Victor Paredes in this 1-hour webinar as he shows you how to rig and animate characters using the newly updated features in Anime Studio 10. See how and when it's best to use the target bones, when to use the new Keyframe Interpolations, and how to use Squash and Stretch for bones. He also shows you the various uses of independent angle, how to hide and show bones for a clean animation, and much, much more. The webinar concludes with a Q & A session where your questions are answered.

Update: The supporting documents contains the final rigged guitar playing character.

In this tutorial I'll show you how to morph your character while your animation is moving. Point animation is obviously the biggest part of it but you can also animate color changes as well but BE WARNED Anime Studio is pretty buggy when it comes to animating color changes, especially with color styles. It does work but you have to mess with it no doubt about it. But this could be handy for making animations like Werewolves, Super Saiyan transformations, Hulking out or any other type of transformation you can think of. I made this with Anime Studio 11 so you should be good if you're using MOHO. It might work better as far as keyframes go!

In this Character Rigging tutorial, we are going to talk about the most basic things that you need to know. That is the bone, what it is and what it does. With this knowledge, you will know the first vital step to rigging.
