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.

Learning Moho Pro 12: Tutorial 1.3 Drawing Complex Shapes

ANIMATION/VIDEO – Learning Moho Pro 12: Tutorial 1.3 Drawing Complex Shapes

When it comes to animation, creating great looking characters and having them move around, is what it’s all about. So far I’ve seen how to create simple shapes and add gradients. But what about more complicated designs?

Well that’s what I look at this in this tutorial. We find out the best method to use when building characters in Moho.

I say “building” and not “drawing” because, well drawing is not putting vector points on a screen. It feels nothing like drawing. It feels more like playing with Legos. So yeah, “building.”

In the tutorial, I build clouds and trees using the program. Have a look.

Learning Moho Pro 12: Tutorial 1.2 Drawing Simple Shapes

VIDEOS/ANIMATION – Learning Moho Pro 12: Tutorial 1.2 Drawing Simple Shapes

Recently having bought Moho Pro 12, I realized I didn’t know anything about the interface and what I need to do to get anything done. So I decided to follow along with the pdf tutorial that came with the program.

This video is all about following along with the 1.2 part of that tutorial. In this video I’ll draw clouds and trees using the vector points.

This seems to be the best way to build images using Moho Studio.

Notice I said “build images” and not “draw things.” This is because, when using vector points, you’re not really drawing anything. You’re building it out of the vector points.

I’ve picked up a copy of Moho Pro 12. I have absolutely have no idea how to use it at all.

I’ve got so many other things I have to do, like make how to draw Youtube videos that I had no idea when I would have the time to learn the program.

Well…the animation program and learning to draw are complementary subjects, so I thought I’d teach myself the program using the tutorial that comes with the program and record my progress.

This video serves three purposes:

Helps me learn the program,
Helps YOU learn the program,
Show’s you what the program is all about.

So join me as we learn to use Moho Pro 12.

Books on Creating Environments Part 3 Dream Worlds By Hans Bacher

BOOKS/ VIDEOS – Books on Creating Environments Part 3 Dream Worlds By Hans Bacher

The third and final recommendation of books worth purchasing for designing and creating environments.

This is something very important for any kind of drawing. Whether you’re going to draw illustrations or comics. It’s good to know how to make an environment appealing. You’ll often find that what makes a drawing really work is where you place the characters.

I’ve found this to be true in my storyboarding work. If you draw the characters in an interesting location the shots are enhanced and look better.

Below is the video explaining why this particular book is worth a look:

Corner Booth #14: Interview With Swinton Scott

VIDEO – Corner Booth #14: Interview With Swinton Scott

I’ve been sitting on a lot of Corner Booth podcast interviews. The Corner Booth Podcast is a podcast that’s been on a long hiatus that I’m a part of.

The reason we stopped doing it is because of the amount of work involved editing the shows. No one really wanted to do it. Or rather, two of us had a tough time doing it on top of all the other things we where doing. While one of us didn’t really know how to do it at all (or so he claims).

It suddenly occurred to me that I could edit the shows and release them here, as long as I do a special version with an introduction. Then I can upload a normal Corner Booth version on the corner booth channel and website as well as iTunes.

That way I can release unique content while also getting the Corner Booth content out there too. Everyone wins.

So here’s the Interview with Swinton with an special intro:

ART/BOOKS – Books on Creating Environments Part 2 Framed Ink by Marcos Mateu Mestre

Continuing my recommendation for books on creating environments, I talk about Framed Ink, by Marcos Mateu Mestre. Mestre has worked for Dreamworks and Sony animation, among other things.

This book is far more than a book about environments, however everything he says can be applied to drawing and designing them. Like other books in this series, composition is a big part of the info that makes drawing environments essential.

Watch the video to see what I why the book is worth reading and owning.
