Moho (Anime Studio) Tutorials

-- Bone layer, bones created with 'Sketch bones' tool, shadow layer effect
--- Chain, drawn in vector layer, layer effects added

The chain is created in three parts to give the 3D look. Each part has a style that can be changed.

There are a few ways to achieve this animation in Anime Studio, this is just one of them.

All the layers are in a group with the physics option on.
The bone layer has 'Pivot on origin' selected in its physics settings.
Using the 'Bone Physics' tool whilst on frame 0, and with the bone layer selected, select the last bone in the chain, then select 'lock tip' from the top menu.

Create several horizontal bones. then in frame one rotate them to create the path. The snake layer (a vector layer inside the bone layer) must be moved from one extreme of the bone chain to the other. The body has to have several points to move smoothly.
