Happy New Year to you all.
I've uploaded my recently completed Moho epic to my website. It's about a quarter of the whole film, the rest was animated in Flash.
A few words of explanation, from a Moho point of view. First of all, not all the characters have been animated in moho. I was directing the whole film, and animating as much as I could, but was the only moho-user on the job. So when I needed help on my section, my colleagues animated using Flash, and I imported their work as quicktimes into moho and composited them into the setting.
The Kitty character is pure moho throughout, except for one scene where she appears in profile (I just didn't have time to construct a new position for her), whereas the hog-boss is Flash throughout (I didn't have time to animate ANY of his action).
Everything else was constructed in Moho, except a few 3D objects which were modelled in Wings, textured in Gile[s] and imported into the Moho setting. The particle effects were what took the most time, both to design, and to render, but they would always have been complicated, and moho was brilliant for what I needed to achieve.
I will be happy to answer any questions about the piece - in the meantime, enough explanation for the meantime, and here's the link:

Apologies to those on dial-up connections, it's a 14MB download - I'm afraid a lot of patience is required. Also, to those whose English is not so good, there's a voice over all the way through, but the action should still be easy to understand without the commentary.
