Moho (Anime Studio) Tutorials

This handy button will create backups of your Moho file.

Moho has a built-in auto save feature (preferences > documents > auto save for crash recovery), but this simply saves a copy of your work every few minutes, and you can't roll back to an earlier version if you wanted to.

Clicking this new save button will ensure you have a copy to fall back on later.

This is another physics-based tutorial in which you learn how to add physics to your character inside of an animation. You need to have the pro version of Anime Studio pro (at least version 9 I think) or MOHO 12 pro in order to use the built in physic engine.

This tutorial is easy to use but the results can vary widely due to the fact that physics animations just do what they want but that's the fun part! Playing with just a couple of settings can really change the outcome of your animations in just seconds. Sometimes they look great and sometimes they can be a twitchy mess. But if you looking for a fun easy way to automatically generate a character falling or have an object to explode, physics is the way to go!

Just play with it and have fun! Couple of things to REMEMBER, you need to have bone strength turned on for a rigged character to have physics applied to it. Also, while a character is being affected by physics you can NOT animate it! Pose your characters before and after physics is turned on!

Join members of the Anime Studio Team in this 1-hour webinar as they review the exciting new features of Anime Studio Pro 9.5. Learn how this new version of Anime Studio can streamline your workflow and save you time. The concludes with a brief Q&A session where questions are answered.

Anime Studio 9.5 Now Out!

This is how to create an X-Ray effect in MOHO or Anime Studio using two separate characters and then rigging them to the same set of bones. Then, all you need to do is add a little bit of masking and boom! I believe this will work for even much older version of Anime Studio as long as you've got the masking option!

This one is less about shape staking, but shows a simpler eye setup.
I also discuss Ramon's Lost Layer tool, and Synthsin's mod of Fazek's meshinstance script (I didn't realise Fazek created this originally hence no mention on the video, but Synth's version is the one I use)

I touch on the very basic fundamentals of using Selgin's 'new improved head turn' technique as well.
