Moho (Anime Studio) Tutorials

This is another "sort of" lighting and shadow tutorial. I probably could make a whole series on just lighting effects but I think these, in particular, are pretty useful and easy to do.
The first technique I show you is how to use just a simple cut out shape to create a spotlight. I've made a tutorial about this before but it's a good refresher.
The second little technique is creating shadows for a moving character. Yes, you can use the built-in shadow effect but this video shows you how to create a shadow that's a little more dynamic so you can place it anywhere you like.
And the last technique is creating police lights or flashing lights. It's just a little more tricky because it involves some masking and changing layer blending modes, but once you get it

Anime Studio Ideas are shorter, more obscure how to videos about ideas I resolve while working as an animator. These ideas are pulled straight from projects I'm currently work on that I feel may help 1, quite possibly 2 people in the entire world, but I need to get them out of my head.

While you can have Anime Studio automate the shading process, it's usually best to manually apply the effect so you can have greater control over it.
