Character animation with Affinity Designer & Moho! - Trying out Moho Studio for the first time!

In this video you'll see my try out Moho Studio for the very first time! This is a piece of software I've been wanting to try out for a few years, and I finally saved up the money to do it! This is definitely more of a "watch me fumble around" kind of video, rather than a tutorial. That said, I hope you all enjoy it all the same!

Thank you for sharing this. It's definitively an amazing start and I'm also very happy you are enjoying working with Moho :)

@RSKT_art 2 жыл бұрын

No worries! Yeah I'm really enjoying it so far. There's a few things I really don't like, (I think a dedicated properties panel would be better than double clicking each layer to open a separate window) but for the most part it's been a good experience.

You are right that the workflow from AD to Moho...well, is non existent. But this video is very helpful for those of us who have both softwares. I don't know if you've gotten there yet, but Moho has many fantastic tools that allow for pixel based images to be manipulated. Of course, we like vectors because of flexibility, infinite resolution, etc. But many moho artists import PS files and Moho does do that pretty seamlessly. Just subscribed to your channel and I'll be looking over for more tips, thanks! BTW, Moho's vector drawing tools are pretty good. You can achieve most of what you created in this tutorial without the headache and added workflow of Affinity Designer. Still, there are good reasons to have both.

@RSKT_art 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks tuning in! I did wind up creating a logo animation that combined pixel and vector based artwork. It's a 3 part video series I uploaded here on my channel. That said, I haven't used Moho since. I'm thinking of using it to make animated loops of a lot of my other artwork though, and using those loops to play to the music on my other channel. So yes, more Moho to come, just not right away :)

@SweetHoneycode Жыл бұрын

I've used Anime Studio 8 Pro for years and have tried upgraded to Moho Debut 13.5. The vector import isn't perfect. I've learned you have to tweak no matter what. One trick I did is have a transparent rectangle the size of my character and then import each part. That seems to help keep the size.

Very cool! Looks complicated to learn, but once you're comfortable with it, things would probably move along much faster and easier. And once a character is created, you can use it over and over, right? Thanks for this. Annimatjon is the one thing Affinity is missing right now.

I just purchased both the Affinity suit and the moho debut for Black Friday. Isn't there an option to export a PSD file and a designer file and maintain all the layers I'm sure there is I remember reading about it so why couldn't you just do this with affinity because it has that option of exporting as PSD...

I just cannot find a way to import vectors to moho without the vectors getting distorted. Like you said. working with bitmaps is much easier but i wish i could work with vectors in a more intuitive, easier way.

@RSKT_art 2 жыл бұрын

I totally feel you on this one. Not sure if this will help, but I found my vectors got distorted if I'd done things in Affinity like flipping it or merging 2 objects together. Basically, make sure your vectors are expanded before exporting them. It's still a pain to import them though, much easier to make everything from scratch in Moho.

@Metathronos 2 жыл бұрын

@@RSKT_art I juts went and tried what you said and expanded everything, saved it as svg but it still distorts on import. Not sure what i'm doing wrong, but it's precisely objects that have been flipped/mirrored. For instance if i make an arm, duplicate the arm, flip it, expand it. it will distort on import. Everything that has been flipped doe sthe same. That is so weird

@RSKT_art 2 жыл бұрын

@@Metathronos yeah it is really weird. Sorry the expansion trick didn't work :/ I guess you could just import the first arm and then flip it in Moho? Overall I really wish it was easier.

I kind of neglected Moho after creating an animated logo in it (see the other video series on my channel), however, lately I've been thinking of a way to incorporate it a lot more into my video content. Basically I want to create animated loops for my music channel (so people h ave something to look at when listening to my tracks), but also create tutorials about how I do that on my art channel. It's a concept I'm in the very early stages of exploring, but I'm exited to get started :)
