24. Rigging an entire character

In this series of 38 tutorials you will quickly learn all the basics of working with the software.
The tutorials are organized in seven sections and were designed to be easy to follow, clear and to the point.
Basic Interface
videos 1 to 4
In the first part, you will learn the overall interface, how the layer structures work, what is the logic of the timeline, how you can animate already created characters and how to export your animation.
Basic rigging with bitmaps
videos 5 to 12
In the second part, we will show you how to create a puppet from a Photoshop file. You will learn how to prepare the illustration, create a basic skeleton and even create distortion meshes and Smart Bones to animate expressions easily.
Basic Animation
videos 13 to 15
In the third part we will cover concepts about movement, how to use different keyframes types, why and how to use the graph and even create cycles of animation.
Vector Drawing
Videos 16 to 21
Once you know all the basics of working with images, we will move to the vector drawing tools coming with Moho. In this fourth section you will learn everything related to the drawing and filling tools, the basics of masking, the power of Liquid shapes and, finally, how to draw an entire character in Moho.
Rigging Vectors
videos 22 to 26
The fifth section will show you the difference between rigging vector and images, how to set up Smart bones for vector, rigging and entire character, creating Vitruvian bones and animating the vector character.
Animating Backgrounds
video 27
With all that done, in the sixth section we will move to set up our background. You will learn how to create parallax to give more depth to your scene, use the camera tools and even add automatic wind to your scene.
More tools in detail
videos 28 to 38
Finally, we will cover other tools that can be very useful for your characters and scenes, such as the different options of the timeline, controlled bones, the powerful particle system, frame-by-frame layers, automatic physics, scripts, actions, references, quad meshes, brushes and layer comps.

Never been this early to an upload, heck yee!! I'm so glad that y'all are putting together not just feature presentation videos but also character creation process videos for the

[@Thematafata]

Not to mention it was never described, why we have to seperate a character's hands from their arms and their legs from their body when designing a vector based character.

[@conservativeliberal]

what a great tutorial actions always seemed so scary but this really simplified it

[@OriasRofocale]

Don't get cute and try and give the actions an additional names. "right calf bend" will break the whole thing. Just go with the name it auto generates! However, if you did this you can still save the animation by just renaming the action to exactly match the bone name.

[@99centfacts82]

Good god this is such a headache. So difficult. I thought this software was supposed to be easier than others

[@Sithlordx]

[@phungKim-dw9ib]

The vectors ưe created in lesson 21 didn't include the leg, how does I suppose to seperate it from the body?

[@wheelharp]

Great tutorial. THank you! I have a question why it's always frame 96 for smart actions?

[@aupat.c.9624]

Great tutorial!

[@DonTNguyen]

Hi for target bones when I go to the bone constraint menu it's not showing me the target list like yours. I'm using the Demo version.

[@kklaopo]

Hi, is there a way to make the pin bones bigger? so we can easily see it.

[@Mrpaul20]

I am having an issue

[@radovan_mladic]

Can you make bones solid instead of just outlined? It`s hard to see them like this especially when they are upon background with the same color.
