Assembling An Animated Moho Production

Build a complete Moho animation using rigs, sets, props and audio.

What you'll learn
How to assemble a complete Moho Pro 13 Sequence Using Rigs, Props, 3D Sets and Audio
Requirements
A copy of Moho Pro 13 is required to open exercise files
Understanding of the Moho interface (timeline, keyframes, sequencer Actions, layers) is recommended before diving in
Rigs will be animated and modified so be sure to have a solid understanding of how rigs work in Moho Pro 13.
Course materials also includes bonus Premiere and Audition project files but are not required to follow along
Description
Moho Pro is a powerful piece of software which allows for character creation and animation, scene building, audio implementation, and much more. It can be tricky to know how to assemble a full sequence given all the options. This course aims to teach how to animate and edit a one minute Moho scene using rigs, sets and props to deliver not only a fun animation, but a solid learning experience you can build upon.This course acts as the final step to all my Moho courses. In the past I taught how to design and animate characters as well as build scenes and create pre-made actions. This course takes all of that to create a final product for work, personal or entertainment purposes.More specifically this course covers:Animating 3D ships to create a fun space battleLip syncing and body language for multiple charactersWorking within full 3D sets to build depth and atmosphereCorrecting timing and other animation anomalies that can pop upCreating vector particle effects such as lightning, smoke and dustCreating a teleportation effect using Moho 13's new bitmap toolsUsing layer references to correct animations and create eye catching effectsWorking with pre-made PNG particle effects to compliment actionEditing multiple Moho scenes together with the SequencerEditing multiple Moho video scenes in PremiereExporting the final sequence for distribution
