Moho (Anime Studio) Tutorials

New in Anime Studio 11 - Improved Photoshop File Support - Now new PSD layers will be applied into Anime Studio when the active file is updated in Photoshop. If layers are re-arranged, Anime Studio will maintain its own layer ordering but still reflect the visual changes made from Photoshop.

Working with Illustrator and Moho, we prep our illustration with layering and rigging. My process is Illustrator to Moho to After Effects in this series.

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.
