Moho (Anime Studio) Tutorials

Watch as Mars scans his character design into Photoshop, then digitalises it for use with his Anime Studio project.

This is the first video in a series of designing a character in Moho 12.
I will be taking you through the process from creation to animation.
Please excuse the typo on the layer tongue, thanks.

Part 2 | Part 3

In part two of the character tutorial, we will be rigging the character we made in part one. Using smart bones we will create a rig that will give our character life.

Create your own 3D objects from 2D vector layers

I made it this video long because I want beginners in particular to see how long it actually takes to put a character together. This isn't even the most complex character I've seen and it took a few hours to make it look and function right. I've run into a lot of problems when I first started using Anime Studio and truthfully I still do but it's really just about figuring out how to solve the problem and a lot of my solutions are in this tutorial!

I really didn't want to make another super long video but there were just to many people asking me to make it so I had to give it a go. I think short tutorial for awhile is the way to go for awhile anyway. (I know, I said that last time!) In any case, please let me know if you found this useful, if it was good, bad, boring, helpful….whatever it may be. I want to make the best videos I can and really appreciate all input. Also, for any Anime Studio users, question. Would this type of character you would buy or would your rather make try and make it yourself? I'm asking because I'm going to start making artwork animations to sell online and want to know what animators are most interested in. I'm going to continue to make tutorials and then try and sell items I think you guys would like so let me know!

Creating a spirograph effect is easy in Moho Pro 12. Using this method you can create some fun designs in no time.

Bezier Vector Handles have been introduced in Moho 12. They allow you to design your vector graphics in different ways. You get more precision being able to modify your lines with the bezier handles. They work in a way similar to other design software such as Adobe Illustrator.

Join me as I animate the crab from my new character design course.We will discuss ways to use the timeline and create smoother animation. My apologizes, some portions of my timeline were covered during the video. My stream software has been giving me issues so this was prerecorded.

The Timeline Sequencer in Anime Studio allows you to sequence animations and other assets on the timeline. This is useful for moving a bunch of keyframes at once, adjusting audio and timing the appearance of your assets.

In part 3, I show my animation work flow. Using the character and rig we created in parts one and two, now it's time to add some life. I show the animation in real time at the end. Thanks for watching.
