Learning Moho Pro 12 Tutorial 1.5 Animation

January 25, 2018 in ANIMATION, VIDEOS

ANIMATION/VIDEOS – Learning Moho Pro 12 Tutorial 1.5 Animation

This is the last of the tutorials. It’s on using Moho to actually animate.

Man, did I struggle with this one.  There’s some animating clouds which is another way of animating vector points while they move across the screen.

Then there’s animating the rigged character so he jumps up and down.  I’m used to animating everything by hand and moving characters with bones, isn’t as easy as I would like.

It should be but it isn’t.  I need to get used to it.  In any case, I make it through the last part of the tutorial and I’m ready to try tackling more.

When I do another video of this kind, I’ll probably be working on more advanced things.

Corner Booth #15: Interview With Dan Haskett

January 18, 2018 in ANIMATION, VIDEOS

VIDEO/ANIMATION – Corner Booth #15: Interview With Dan Haskett

One of the best artists in the business.  He’s still drawing on paper too.

He designed the Little Mermaid, and helped design Batman for the 90s animated series and Tiny Toons.

You can see his art below following the video link.

This conversation goes deep.  We don’t just go into his career but the philosophy behind being an artist in this industry.  It’s a great conversation.

I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Learning Moho Pro 12: Tutorial 1.4 Bone Setup

January 4, 2018 in ANIMATION, VIDEOS

ANIMATION/VIDEOS – Learning Moho Pro 12: Tutorial 1.4 Bone Setup

The unique thing about most modern animation programs like Moho Pro 12 is their ability to “rig” a drawing for animation.  By “rig” I mean, you attach bones to your drawing so that you can warp and move your drawing.  This way, you don’t have to redraw as much as you would traditionally.

In this week’s video I learn the Moho Pro 12 process of adding bones to a character so that it can be animated.  It’s really very simple…at least in theory.  Once you need to get into a more complicated rig, things get a bit more involved.  Fortunately, I don’t deal with any of that in this video.
