Moho Anime Studio – Review

All in all, Anime Studio Pro is a vast land of creativity for high-quality animations that can be made with the above intriguing features.

Moho Anime Studio – Features

Smart Bones

This incredible feature reduces and diminishes distortion from around the joints of a character. Users can easily create 3D-type motions by grouping a set of points and using the control levers of Smart Bones. Moreover, the task can be easily repeated with just the turn of a dial.

FBX Support to Unity Game Developers

With Moho Anime Studio, there is no need of creating rigid sprites to develop games having the looks and feel that a user wants. Instead, Unity game users along with developers can use the FBX support for all this.  FBX is an adaptable file format for Autodesk’s 3D animation and is considered the most popular method to integrate animated 2D and 3D assets in Unity.

Import files from Photoshop

Users can easily import their Photoshop files easily without compromising with the layers because all the changes made in Photoshop appear in Moho Anime Studio where they can be further refined. Even features of Photoshop are supported in imported PSD files such as layer opacity, blending modes, smart objects, and smart filters.

Real-Time Media Connection

This feature automatically updates audio, video, and image files in the imported ones in Moho Anime Studio even when they are edited in external programs.

Media foundation

Media Foundation is now used in the Moho Anime Studio version which is designed for a 64-bit Windows version which makes it unnecessary to install QuickTime for importing popular formats of audio and video files such as MP3 and MP4. Moho Anime Studio is capable of creating movies through the media foundation media library if the animations are exported on Windows 7 and above. While it can create movies through the DirectShow media library if animations are exported on Windows XP and above.

GPU Acceleration

GPU or Graphics Processing Unit  Acceleration utilizes the hardware of the host computer smartly to boost the quality and performance of various several layer types and enables the users to see the working of the tool precisely as a shape or stroke is being applied to the workspace. Bios boost in performance also reduces the problems of artifacts and pixelation when it is working with particular graphical elements including Vector and Image layers.

Nested Layer Controls

In the latest versions of Moho Anime Studio, if users have a group within a bone layer and then there are vector layers inside that group then the bone layer has the ability to manipulate the artwork in those vector layers if the control of the nested layer is turned on. This enables powerful rigging options and simultaneously simplifies and allows more organization in the hierarchy of the layer.

Flexi-Binding

This feature enables the users time to isolate the effect of a set bonus from the remaining skeleton. For instance, the bones of the left arm affect only the artwork that is for the left arm. This either reduces or diminishes the need to isolate the artwork on zero frames. Then the feature put it back with the Offset Bone tool. This new feature is great for vectors and images.

Adjustable Particle Source

Particle Layers enable users to use any type of shape in their work. Users can even use the shapes that have gaps, as the point of origin for your work. It can be simply done just by putting the reference layer on the bottom of the Particle Layer folder, turning on the tab of “Use base layer as source” in Layer Settings and it is done!

Improved Depth of Field

When users create the effect of Depth of Field through Project Settings, they’ll be visually represented of their required focal point on the workspace by the Orbit tool. This helps those who find it hard to remember the effect that will be gained by Depth of Field settings. Placing the focal line nearer to the assets will ensure their prominence while other things are blurred according to users’ focus range.

Scripting

The software solution provides advanced updates and support to the task of scripting. The Scripting API exposes more data structures and functions which enables advanced users to create personalized add-ons and tools.

Layer Comps

Users can export multiple layers with just one click. This feature is useful to export only the selected items in a scene so they can be composite externally in 3^rd party software. Users can also turn the groups off and on until the elements that belong together logically are not gathered.  Users then can create a new layer comp out of that group. At the time of rendering, users can opt to render particular layer comp as a movie file.

Patch Layers

Patch Layers is a set of features to construct the characters with masking abilities. This means it allows the users to hide certain portions of a layer. Each body part can be created separately and then the overlapping lines can be hidden while assembling the parts. Moreover, the patch size can be adjusted perfectly so the layers are blended to give the desired style.

64-Bit Architecture

Moho Anime Studio is designed mainly as a 64-bit app and contains remarkable enhancements in memory and speed both for those who work on 64-bit devices. The preview performance and rendering speed are also improved.

Timeline Markers

This feature takes notes on the timeline and also makes comments there so users can use them for future reference.

Shy Bones

This feature enables the users to hide the bones and see only the ones that they currently require in their work.

Easy to copy and paste

Copying and pasting layers, images, keyframes, and animations from one document to another is very easy in Moho Anime Studio.
