This is a character I started the first week I got Moho. I have been building on it since then.

(This is an updated animation I just finished using a sound file I got off the web from the movie "Shop Around The Corner". It is about 3 mb.)
She is easy to look at so I use her for experimenting with new techniques. The file has gotten quite... elaborate.
This project is entirely animated with switches and bone rigging. Just open it up and start posing. There is no vector animation except for the switches for lip synch and the head turn.
She is shaded using shapes with soft edges and mask layers.
The biggest change since the original is "Mohohair". I use to have an image for the hair... but I couldn't do a head turn with an image for hair... so I made the hair completely in Moho with dynamic bones so it "wiggles".
The other big addition recently is posable rigged hands. I also plan to put in some "hand turns" so the positions can be changed easily.
Her dress is set up in such a way as to be easily changed... just change out the dress layer... make a new outfit and stick it in there or I can change the dress color by modifying a single style. There is a masked layer over the dress set to "Color" in the layer properties. Changing that style changes the entire dress color.
I intend to give this file along with a set of various rigged and switch hands I have created, to efrontier to be included with Anime Studio if they feel it will fit their needs. I hope it will meet their quality standards.
My feeling is... I want this new program to succeed... I have so much invested in it now that helping them succeed is my success. The best way for me to do this would be to help out with the content needed to show off the capabilites and give the users files they can start animating right away.
