Excellent work, you must be loving using Moho now.

Thanks DJWaterman! :)

Yes I have always loved using Moho, well at least since making this music video in 2007-2008.

Moho is especially convenient once you have become fluent with setting up scenes and playing with masks, smartbones & whatnot. Such specific features as curve handles for vector shapes surely make shading a pleasure as well -- and the digestive tube / pulsating organs sequence in the short above were so easily animated with the exclusive help of pin bones on static bitmap shapes.

Moho has actually become my base tool as far as scene layout & compositing are concerned, whether for vector or frame by frame animation, or even online illustration.

Thanks for being so indulgent Carlbox! Those were really my very debuts with Anime Studio Pro.

I had previously made another animated music video for the same French band Experience (now split), yet exclusively frame-by-frame and in Flash (lol) :



Experience's lead singer Michel Cloup is now playing in a guitar/drums duo formation : more here and there with English subtitles.

That's really great, Cableon! Really shows that Moho is not limited to cut-out style animation.

Thanks a lot Jamike!

It isn't at all, indeed -- my own use has always been somewhat unorthodox for sure (mostly importing whole image sequences at the beginning haha, and more recently animating transparent .PNGs at will with smart bones like here in the second picture), but Moho now covers a whole span of solutions, including freehand frame-by-frame drawing. I do however use both Toon Boom and Moho for FBF animation, even though my process tends to change a bit every time, recently relying more and more on spin and smart bones, as well as on intricated masked layers for instance.

I love your method of using Smart Bones to get a hand-drawn look. Did you ever try TV Paint? I find that much better than Toon Boom for FBF. In fact, when I first saw your work, I did think it was TV Paint (which is why I was so impressed to see it was Moho).

Yes I have briefly tried TV Paint, yet have not found it as convienent as Toonboom so far, in terms of interface etc. Might try again though.

However, the [AS] short is now available on Facebook, too : https://www.facebook.com/adultswim/vide ... 127596745/

That's excellent - thanks for sharing it! I like you combined Moho features in a way that gives it your own style. I wouldn't have guessed this was Moho at all, and I mean that as a compliment!
