To celebrate the release of Smiling Friends Season Two, i decided to create a little test animation in Moho using some of the characters. I wanted to see how close i could get to their style with rigs.

    Joel, super good animation you make, thanks for sharing them! I have a question regarding Tired Doggo. How do you make the outlines and texture wiggling in Harmony? I couldn't find this option in Toon Boom. In Moho this feature is Line Boil. But I couldn't find out how to make it in Harmony. Could you hint on your technique, please? Also, do you make tutorials to buy?

    • @joelmayerprods
      @joelmayerprods 23 дні тому

      Hi! Thank you! Haha yea well, the dog is boiling because it's drawn frame by frame, it isn't a rig :) Basically just drawn and painted using natural looking TB brushes each frame so, no filter there, just my jittery hand hah. About paid tutorials: perhaps one day but i think if i'd ask money for a tutorial it would've to be something really good and elaborate, more like a complete course and that would take a huge amount of work :D

    I was wondering, why would you use switch layers over frame by frame layer though ?

    • @joelmayerprods
      @joelmayerprods 24 дні тому

      Since 14 you can‘t animate points on fbf layers anymore or access the individual drawings in the layer window, hence no way of setting up individual meshes or bones per frame. You could if you like collapse a switch to fbf and vice versa for organisational purposes but that means going into the layer settings each time and removing checkmarks and whatnot (there‘s a new script which makes it easier tho). So yea Switches are necessary if you want to do deeper animation than just, well, switch from one drawing to the next ;)

    Vedio was Jolly and I liked the Positive Aura and nature of yours, making whole 51 minutes informative vedio fun and calming to watch. I learned about the tool from the perspective of an animator who is trying moho for the first time. And unlike other vedios where you are only shown result, I was able to see whole process and struggles of an animator. Besides tips and facts told in the end about animation will surely help me building strong foundation along the way. It really looks like am writting formal english exam but thanks man 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  • @reeceparkerco
    @reeceparkerco 29 днів тому

    If your artwork includes more textures, shadings, details, etc. - I don't think there is any question that cleaning this way is faster. Clean up becomes nearly impossible the more detailed the artwork, this feels like it unlocks the ability to achieve more complex but still natural animations. My thoughts, good video.

    • @joelmayerprods
      @joelmayerprods 29 днів тому

      Yes agreed, i stated that at the end of the video as well ;) At least that's what i meant with more illustrative styles but perhaps i wasn't very clear haha. Truth is, it's also just easier in some ways to do the painterly, textured thing because you don't have the one clean ink line that you have to make sure is connected more or less perfectly every frame. Thanks for watching ;)

    I can’t thank you enough for doing this! I’ve been sticking with bone rigs and had no idea that switch layers could be FOLDERS, and whatever is on those layers could be animated themselves! 🤯 I’m going to start playing with that and meshes as homework, looks like a fun approach.

    Joel, this is FANTASTIC, thankyou so much for this. Last year I very nearly spent a LOOOOT of cash on a one week toonboom course, which included one months rental of toonboom, WOW!.... This brilliant walkthrough, and your Moho walkthrough (and lots of playing with Moho!) means I am very definitely in the Moho camp now! This is really is so useful and so generous, thankyou kindly. If you wanted to maybe make a similar video for both CelAction (Bluey!) and TVPaint (LupusFilm!) then you know that would be just great, haha. No, really, sincere thanks... you've helped my steer myself toward Moho, and where I want to focus my efforts across the next few years.

    JOEL! This is FANTASTIC! Best tutorial I’ve seen on the solid basics of Moho, wish I’d found it first (Moho should really be linking to this vid first… their beginner tutorials are great but I feel you really accurately respond with the complete Moho noob in mind… the path / stroke / fills / shape thing is A LOT to ‘unpack’, to reorganise the adobe-isms!… you explain it BEAUTIFULLY. honestly I’ve only just discovered Moho and it feels like I’ve dreamed it?! The community around it is so GENEROUS, it reminds me of the early days of the internet (I am so old)… frontier land, a paradigm shift. Thanks so much again. All the best, Luke

    I've made summary of the vid and TIMED MAIN KEYPOINTS, if anyone's interested. Thank you for the video) 00:17:10 Start with simple shapes to create characters. 00:18:25 The tutorial provides a starting point, but more learning will be needed. 00:23:41 Instructions on setting up project settings and preferences. 00:26:21 Demonstration on using reference images and creating shapes with precision. 00:37:06 Creating shapes and strokes in Moho Pro 00:40:48 Adjusting curvature and bezier handles for shapes 00:46:39 Creating layers and organizing elements 00:56:02 Masking layers to hide or reveal content based on shapes 00:57:55 The tutorial demonstrates how to add elements to a mask without closing layer settings, ensuring changes according to the selected layer. 00:58:23 Instructions are given on excluding strokes from masks, enabling precise adjustment of mouth shapes. 00:59:50 The video covers techniques for creating complex shapes and auto-filling areas to simplify animation. 01:10:04 Demonstrates the process of rigging a character in Moho Pro, including bone creation and hierarchy setup. 01:18:14 To bind layers to bones, select the bone tool, then select the bones and use Bone > Use Selected Points/Bones for Flexi Binding. 01:19:25 Assign each layer to a bone by selecting the layer, choosing Bone > Use Selected Bones for Flexi Binding, and selecting the bones. 01:19:55 For specific parts like the mouth, use layer binding instead of flexi binding for simpler movement. 01:21:06 To add dynamics to hair, select the bones, then use Bone > Use Selected Points/Bones for Flexi Binding to ensure hair reacts only to specific movements. 01:39:56 The instructor demonstrates how to manipulate bone tools and transform layers to create animations. 01:41:33 Detailed steps are provided for rigging various facial features, including the head turn and mouth movements. 01:53:45 Additional techniques such as squash and stretch are introduced to add character dynamics. 02:03:57 The tutorial covers the process of creating character animation in Moho Pro. 02:04:50 The instructor demonstrates techniques such as keyframing, anticipation, and refining poses. 02:16:35 Tips for animation planning and keeping rigs efficient are provided. 02:20:51 The instructor encourages experimentation and suggests exploring different animation styles. Overview: The video provides a comprehensive introduction to Moho Pro, focusing on creating characters for beginners. The narrator, Joel, shares insights into Moho's history, its development, and its unique features compared to other animation software like Toon Boom. Key points covered in the video include: 1. Moho's background: Originally created by Mike Clifton for BOS in the late '90s, Moho was intended to make cartoon creation accessible to everyone. After various developments and ownership changes, Moho is now back under its original creators and is continuously improving. 2. Pros of Moho: - Fast rigging workflow: Moho offers a streamlined process for rigging characters. - Point animation: Moho's vector-based approach allows for dynamic manipulation of points over time, enabling frame-to-frame adjustments without redrawing. - Smart bones: Moho's smart bones feature simplifies the creation of character interfaces. - 2.5D workflow: Moho combines 3D modeling and animation techniques in a 2D space, offering versatility in character design. - Cost-effective: Moho requires a one-time payment with optional upgrade costs, making it suitable for individual creators and small teams. 3. Cons of Moho: - Limited frame-by-frame animation capabilities: While Moho supports some frame-by-frame features, it's not the primary focus and lacks advanced drawing tools. - Not ideal for hyper-realistic animation: Moho's strengths lie in cut-out animation and rigging, making it less suitable for highly detailed, realistic animations. - Learning curve for rigging: Rigging can be complex for beginners, requiring an understanding of bone structures and influences. 4. Tutorial overview: - The tutorial begins with creating a simple character using basic shapes, focusing on design simplicity and creativity. - Joel emphasizes learning by doing and encourages beginners to experiment with Moho's tools to create their own animations.
