Moho (Anime Studio) Tutorials

oh those many hours wasted with our cartoon friends

3D City using the Extrude 3D layer setting in Anime Studio Pro 9

I have also included some limited animation in the timeline

Continuing on in the endless animation education, today's contribution centres on importing svg's. They tend to get a little large, if you are not careful. Make sure you are saving them at the size you need. Especially important for line thickness. They can be edited in MOHO, and sections moved for animation, which is a plus.

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.

Created with bones in Moho Pro 12 which rotate via a parent bone, seen highlighted in red in the following image:



The bones that change the image have a bone strength. They also have the independent angle option on.

Each rotating bone is animated a few seconds forward on the timeline to create the effect. The bones nearest to the pole are shorter to slow the rotation and effect down. These bones have also been set as 'shy' bones to make selecting easier.

The image can be easily changed to any flag, but I've used the Welsh flag here:



This method isn't limited to just waving flags, it can also be used for water effects too!
