The Rogue Animator . Premium Training by 2D Animation 101. 2D Animation 101's Premium Video Course, The Rogue Animator , aspires to teach you how to create your own 2D animated short in ten days. To do this, course instructor, Mark Diaz, takes you through his entire process of creating one of his animated shorts, then, helps you through the same process using your own idea for a production. The course is targeted at beginner to intermediate animators (or anyone struggling to achieve an efficient work flow), who are generally one person teams, looking to get their own ideas into the world through video sites like YouTube. About the Course In the introduction video Mark explains exactly how much time you'll need to set aside each day to complete the course in ten days. He also understands that not everyone will have that much time to spare so offers some alternative, longer timeline examples. The key point being, that you need to take the time to watch the videos and apply the co...

So you've bought Smith Micro's Moho Pro 12 along with the Moho, 10 hour, 104 Video Tutorials Add On pack so you can get learning right away... only you can't. For whatever reason, the video tutorials aren't sorted into any logical order of progression making them hard to follow. Yeah, I've been there, only I've done what Smith Micro should have done and sorted all the video tutorials into a logical order of natural progression for you. That is, each tutorial builds upon what you learned in previous videos and you won't suddenly come up against some feature you've never used before, unless that feature is what the video tutorial is about. As I sorted through all 104 videos I blogged my progress in a 12 part series that lists the video tutorials in the order you should attempt them and gives highlights of what some of the videos contain. Links to all 12 blog posts are below. Learning Moho Pro 12 (Anime Studio Pro): 12 Part Blog Series Alvin Owl by TET. I...

Applying a Smart Warp to a Raster Image. All of the points can now be key framed. It's hard to believe I made it to the last nine tutorial videos for Moho Pro 12 but here we are. The final nine.

So, to find out what you're missing, or to see what you have (if you did or are buying the Pro version) read on. Read the previous post here .

Pin Bones - Moho 12 It really has been a marathon of video watching and at this point I'm down to the final 18 Moho tutorial videos that came with my software purchase. These videos focus specifically on the new features of Moho Debut and Pro 12 . I'm eager to get through these as quickly as possible so, let's get straight to it. You'll find my previous post here . The list below are the tutorial titles that I've completed for this post and my summaries of each follow after that. Each title is linked to its corresponding video on YouTube. Debut New Features New GUI New Library New Layers Panel Bone Enhancements Pin Bones Auto Freeze Keys SVG Import Export Distorting an image using pin bones. The first video in this batch is the only video for Moho Debut, the lower priced and fewer features version of the software. It's a basic run through of what's new that's common to both the Debut and Pro versions. Interesting to watch if you've gotten this far b...

It's hard to believe I'm still going with my quest to learn Moho. It's definitely been an up hill battle but I'm determined to get to the final run of video tutorials that will teach me what is actually new in the latest release of the application. Unfortunately that's not going to happen with this installment which continues on with the Advanced Moho Pro Tutorials from video 28. In this installment I've drifted through another six tutorial videos and am finally starting to discover some of Moho's more useful features. The list below are the tutorial titles and my summaries of each follow after that. I wish I could make demonstration animations for every aspect but I really don't want to prolong my training any more than it already is. Pro - Enhanced Timeline Pro - Key Frame Editing Pro - Actions ( Make sure you watch this! ) Pro - Editable Motion Graphs Pro - Bounce - Stagger and Elastic Pro - Advanced Physics The Enhanced Timeline tutorial is an over...

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 . Despite this I feel I've learned enough of Moho to compare it to CTA3 to help you determine whic...
