Moho (Anime Studio) Tutorials

This was a silly experiment using 3D layers and particles.
You can download the file used to create the video but Anime Studio wasn't happy to create this and did crash on me several times. The render time was also more than 12 hours!

It was interesting to see how much Moho could do in 3D for this little project. Whilst it is possible to import 3D .obj files into MOHO, I wanted to see if I could create everything within the program. My conclusion after creating this file is that 3D is best left to creating inside Blender, and MOHO is best left to 2D, although I can see some occasions whereby a little 3D could be combined with 2D to get some great results.

Made in Moho Pro 12 using only lines and rotated referenced layers.

An experiment in using multiple characters.

This was an experiment created to test the shading in Anime Studio.

Created in Anime Studio Pro 11 using only 3D layers - nothing was imported to created this.
Smart bones were used to create the animation.

This was an experiment I did with bones and the famous Mona Lisa portrait by Leonardo da Vinci.

I separated her from the background by creating two layers in Photoshop (some quick retouching was needed to the new background), then I added bones to her layer. I animated the bones so that she appears to be nodding to music.
