Reallusion's CrazyTalk Animator 3 or Smith Micro's Moho Studio Pro 12. Which of these 2D animation applications is right for you? Regular readers of this blog will know I'm a strong supporter, and fairly proficient user of CrazyTalk Animator since version 1. It's a great piece of software for producing 2D animations from purchased content quickly and, with version 3, is easier than ever to create animations from your own art. Lesser known is that I first purchased Moho Studio Pro 12 (then known as Anime Studio Pro 9) back in October of 2012 and have been upgrading it to the latest version ever since because I believed in it as an application for creating great 2D animation to TV quality standard. As such, it's a much more complex application than CTA3 that I only got around to learning properly late last year. I'm still in the process of blogging my progress .

Anyhow, these are the Video Tutorials I completed and have briefly summarized: Pro - 3D Shape Design Pro - AS11 Pro Poser Pro - Advanced Camera Tools Pro - Depth of Field Pro - Depth Shifting Pro - Advanced Timeline A simple shape with 3D effects  Extrude and Inflate applied. 3D shape design covers the basics of turning f...
