Description
With Moho, you can import images or Photoshop Documents, add bones and create detailed rigs for 2D animation. This process can be different from rigging vector based characters. This course showcases all the important steps needed to effectively rig a PSD for Moho animation. More specifically, you will learn how to:Set up layer structure for a characterReduce PSD file sizeSet up body bones appropriatelyCreate dynamic hair movement using Smart Warp meshes and special bone propertiesControl the face using a series of dialsCreate head turns using a Smart Warp meshPolish and correct rigging issuesApply animation with an image based rigExport animations out of Moho
