I'm curious if it covers anything not already covered by the slew of v10 videos already published by the team of Incredible Tutorials?

For the most part, the webinar covered much of the same information as the videos but sometimes with a little more technical 'under the hood' detail. Topics included new bone constraints and enhancements, drawing tools, workflow and UI improvements, rendering, licensing, etc. The demo scenes used in the presentation are very nice, and many of them come with 10 so there's plenty of good stuff to pick apart and study when you get the software. At the end there was a Q&A session.

I imagine SM will eventually upload the recording to YouTube like some of their past sessions.

I was trying to watch the live session while working, so I missed parts of it. Tonight I can give it proper attention. :)

Thanks for the link and the heads up that this is available. I too was at work and missed it entirely. I can't wait to sit and watch the whole thing all the way through.

I started with Moho just as it transitioned to Anime Studio 5, then upgraded to 7, then 9.5. It's really fun to see how it's mostly the same software, but so much better now. I could get all mushy about it, so I think I'll just leave it at I'm looking forward to seeing if this will be another upgrade I welcome.

Technically, I 'started' with Moho too, but I never did much with it--my 'day job' required me to focus on 3D animation and visual FX, and I didn't have the personal bandwidth to also work in 2D animation back then. Later on, I even upgraded to Anime Studio 5 and 6 but was still too busy with 3D work.

When 9,0/9.5 came out, I FINALLY found time to use it. Have to say, working in ASP was long overdue--making our first ASP short film was so much fun, I wish I had been able to start sooner. :D
