Moho (Anime Studio) Tutorials

How to use the nested layer control feature in Anime Studio to control bones within child folders.

Get a look at the exciting new features in Anime Studio 11 in this 1-hour webinar presented by Mike Clifton, and Jason Cozy of the Anime Studio Team. Mike will show you how you can now do frame by frame animation in Anime Studio! He will also show you workflow game changers such as Layer Referencing, Animated Bone Targets and Animated Bone Parenting and when you can use them. See how changing the layer order of shapes in a single vector layer over time is now easy and how you can now flip a bone mid-animation allowing you to change an effect at any time. See all of this and more! The webinar concludes with a Q & A session where your questions will be answered.

Anime Studio 9.3 Pro UPDATE to Smart Bones now allows the ability to control Switch layers, Layer order, Layer visibility, Follow path, Flip layer horizontally/vertically, Stroke exposure, Shape effect positioning, Shape effect parameters (like gradient colors), 3D thickness of vector shapes that have been converted to 3D and even more smart bones controls.

How to use the new 'Particle Source' feature.

With the patch layer in Anime Studio, you can quickly and effectively hide the seams that bind your limbs together. This tutorial walks you through the process.

The select points tool allows you to go into the layer that you're working on and select points to manipulate the objects on that layer.

I thought I'd make a video on how to make a smart bone action control switch layers. I also wanted to show a quick set up on making a smart bone dial that is set away from the character.

I should also mention if you want to make a visual reference smart bone you can just make it so it just controls a specific switch layer off to the side without linking it to another bone as well.
The reason I made the first example linked to the hand is so that in a busy scene, your control will always be near the hand!

My character was just getting too many switch layers in it so I'm in the process of creating a few of these switch layer controls and I thought I'd share as always!!!
