Moho (Anime Studio) Tutorials

This is a quick tutorial on how to create and digital numbers in Anime Studio using a grid and switch layers. Although Anime Studio has a number sequencer built into it, I thought it would be nice to show users how to create their own numbers to give them practice with use of the grid and also some practice on using switch layers for something other than mouths and hands. It's fairly straight forward so shouldn't be to hard for even the novice user to follow along!

Did you know that you can prevent your shapes from distorting when you add points to them (Moho only)? That you can show a layer's points and paths even when you are editing another layer? That you can easily reset to position and rotation of bones and points with one click? Moho has a ton of features, and sometimes people I speak with are surprised to find out about some of them.

This is a follow up to the "Switch Layer Dials" tutorial. It is just a faster easier way to set up a smart bone to control switch layers!

In this video I'm using it to rig a mouth switch layer to a smart bone and then us the bone to help me lip sync!

A 1000 thank you's to Victor Paredes for clueing me in on how to set this up the easy way and to show me how to use the copy previous keyframe function in Anime Studio! Awesome all day!!!

As you can see by the beginning intro this tutorial will show you how to create a spinning globe effect in Anime Studio/MOHO with the help of clipping masks and a little bit of cycling animation. You'll learn how to use group folders to use masks as well as how to recolour a .png file that has a transparency. It's pretty simple but really effective.

In this lecture I will show you step by step how to set up your rig for a body turn using smart warps

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!

I KNOW! Over an HOUR for a tutorial? I must be smoking something right? Well, this is actually trimmed down! I could have made the artwork and just made a basic turn but I wanted to go into detail on how I created a body turn from the very start. I personally think it is important to show the whole process because for one, it can give you a sense of how much time it might take and two, it's easier to share little tips and tricks I've learned while using this program. So many times I watch tutorials that are so good but leave out little tid bits or leave out problems they encounter which, if shared would have saved me tons of time.

Beginner's Guide to Making An Animated Series with Anime Studio

Join Chad Troftgruben in this 1-hour webinar as he shows you the steps necessary to create your own beginner-level animated series in Anime Studio. Chad will share his tips on getting started and discuss the writing of outlines and screenplays. He will then go over how he develops characters and scenes in Anime Studio and will quickly show you how to add animation. The webinar will conclude with a live question and answers session.

This is the first of three video tutorials to show you how I rig eyes and animate them in anime studio. I made this tutorial last year but it didn't have audio commentary so I thought I'd redo it! I apologize if I was using short cuts to fast but I think that if you learn to use the shortcut keys you'll learn to love them and increase your production speed and you'll wonder how you ever lived without them!

Eye Rigging Part 2

Eye Rigging Part 3

So "Avengers End Game" is coming out today so I thought I'd do a tutorial on making the classic Marvel movie intro using Anime Studio!
Yes, this could be done in other programs but I wanted to show you guys that text effects can be done fairly easy directly in the program and can be modified to suit your subject matter.
I'm going to start making other text themed tutorial so if you guys have any ideas on what you'd like to see let me know!
For any Patron's reading this, I'll be sending you the file soon so you can see exactly how it's constructed.
There are a lot of fading in and fading out keyframes that I had to fiddle with to make it look exactly how I wanted so you can see where I put them in.
