Moho (Anime Studio) Tutorials

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.

Join Wes Fowler as he shows you how scripts can enhance the capabilities of making animations in Anime Studio Pro. He will show you what they are, the different types, and where they can be found. Wes will also discuss 3rd party scripts, provide scripting demonstrations and explain how they can extend the functionality of Anime Studio Pro. As well, learn the basics of scripting in the Lua scripting language, and how to access Anime Studio Pro's scripting interface.

Expand your animation toolset and increase your physics simulation skills by joining Jason Cozy in this one-hour webinar where he will show you the basics of setting up a physics simulation in Anime Studio Pro. Jason will then walk you through each of the parameters and give a demonstration of each function. He will also show you how physics simulations work with bones before we wrap up the hour with a question and answer session.

Join Victor Paredes in this one-hour webinar as he demonstrates his techniques for rigging characters and objects in Anime Studio. Learn how he sets up his bones and rigging for vector shapes, images, and soft shapes. See how these interact with the timeline and keyframes. Victor will also give you tips on rigging quadrupeds and other non-human creatures and finish off the hour answering your questions.

Victor Paredes, an accomplished Chilean animator, visits the National Center for Supercomputing Applications in Champaign-Urbana to give a workshop on the software Anime Studio Pro.

This workshop was possible thanks to Nina Paley, the eDream Institute, and the Champaign Urbana Film Society.

Note: Although the video quality isn't great - this video is worth a watch if you're new to Anime Studio.

Join Victor Paredes as he shares with you his special techniques and tips to speed up your workflow in Anime Studio. See the various ways he creates walk cycles - one of the biggest challenges in animation. Learn how to improve head rotations in your animations as he discusses easy tracing tips, drawing for animation, using symmetry within Anime Studio, and how to use blend morphs effectively. In addition, Victor will share his insights on rigging soft shapes and show you how he brings his characters to life.

In this tutorial we will create some paper / cartoon looking clouds in Anime Studio

So this is very new to me as too, but I wanted to learn how to make sprite animations. It was really easy to figure out how to recreate sprites looking characters in Anime Studio with the grid tool as well as finding good source materials on the web.

This tutorial goes over recreating sprites that you've found on the web but you can also use this to create your own pixel art characters and backgrounds.

I'll probably end up making another tutorial on this when I've gotten it down a little better but this should help you get started anyway.

The small cartoon clips are just fan animations I made for a YouTuber named Dashiexp. He's a YouTuber that does comedy sketches and gameplays. I think he's hilarious and since he plays old school games, he was the perfect subject matter to see if I could make a pixel art cartoon.

You can check out his game channel here!

Here is another background tutorial I made using a screenshot reference and a couple of perspective lines to recreate a cartoon background. I know it's long but you'll get the gist of it in the first 10 to 20 minutes.
I kept it in real time so you could see how long backgrounds can take sometimes even when you're only using them for a few seconds of animation.
