Moho (Anime Studio) Tutorials

This rig uses smart bones to give the animator the ability to open and close the hand





The left hand's rotate bone (LH_rotate) will give the effect of rotation by moving the bones.
The hand was created with simple lines.

Created by Yevgeniy back in version 5.6 but will open in newer versions



More of his work can be seen on his illustration website

I wish I could find more time but I found out about this competition on the 15th of December 2017. To come up with a story; to build the characters, B.Gs and to relearn anime studio it took me a week and 2 days.

For the remaining days, I had a rush time for animation, I had to cut the story short and implement new story ideas to make this version of the story but will finish the full original version of the short.

Please Enjoy!

DO NOT DISTRIBUTE THE HAND IMAGES FOUND IN THE CHARACTER LITTLE GUY THANK YOU!!!
The hand Images are rendered from a hand pack I had purchased from Cartoon Solutions, they fall under the Cartoon Solutions Character Pack/Backgrounds/props/Animated EFX User Agreement. Thank you!

Made 100% in Anime Studio using 3D layers.
Not perfect, but gives you an idea of possibilities.

Note: Anime Studio is not really 3D software - it's 2D software that can move layers in a 3D space, and as such, this manikin is very limited in movement.



*I noticed after uploading that the far hand was in shadow! This could be corrected with a slight turn of his hand.

I can't upload all the files, because they are too heavy so I only uploaded 15 seconds of animation https://www.youtube.com/c/CiclicityAnimacion

Using one image of an arm, and crop inside Anime Studio, and using "Create Smooth Joint For Bone Pair",
I was able to rig an arm from images.

I also added smartbones as levers to control the arm bending as well the hand, for those who wants to play with smartbones.
