Moho (Anime Studio) Tutorials

See how you can use the morph dials to control your animations in Anime Studio.

There are many different ways to create head turns in Anime Studio. In this video, Chad and Jim demonstrate how to create a smooth head turn from front to left and then to right by using a Smart Bone dial.

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!!!

My previous experiments with MDs has been really to test their abilities - but recently I've had a chance to use them in production which had me using them in a much more subtle way.

This video explains what morphs are, as well as showing a practical example where they are used to make a character read a book in a free way.

I also show why NOT to use the 'Blend Morphs' option that came with Anime Studio... use Rudiger's morph dials instead.
