Moho (Anime Studio) Tutorials

3D Buildings created with photo layers

Using smart bones, you can rotate the buildings slightly to give the effect of depth / 3D. In the animation the camera is also moved.

The car drives down a basic 3D city. The camera moves along from a sky view.

A small animation has been added to the timeline, but further scenes can be easily created with this setup.

The buildings are kept simple to help with render time.

This setup could be used when directing or creating storyboards.

The buildings only use two sides to speed up rendering

Had trouble with the lift doors until I realised I needed duplicates placed in a different part of the layers stack. Also foreground buildings appear transparent but they aint!

I have also included some limited animation in the timeline

Way back when Dragons roamed the earth, it wasn't safe to go out at night - thanks to the miracle of animation, we get a glimpse of what a typical night must have been like!

Made using 3D layers in Anime Studio Pro 11.1
A version for Anime Studio Pro 9 is also included.

Included are also two small renders that show single and multi-core renders. (Multi-core creates problems)
