Moho Pro 13.5 | The all-in-one animation tool for professionals and digital artists | Software for PC and Mac OS

I got this and the basic program for my 10 yr old granddaughter who loves to draw (mostly anime-type figures) and who has some interest in basic programming and animation types of technology. Right off the bat I can see this is something she will need a LOT of time to navigate and learn how to use and manipulate. She is learning the basic program right now so I will have to return once she has some experience there so that this wont overwhelm her. Once she moves on to this program Ill come back and update with her thoughts and experiences.

I received a copy of this animation software to test out and trial. I have some experience with digital art and design using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, and I have to say that I’ve been impressed with this Moho Pro software. This software is easy to learn and use. The software allows you to move layers and make layers invisible to work with them more easily. I can see where this program could be complicated for someone that has not worked with digital art programs before, so this software is not recommended for the beginner digital artist. The price point is a bit high, but you get what you pay for, and from what I can see thus far, it’s a one-time payment, unlike some other art software that I’ve used that requires a recurring monthly fee. The software integrated well with photoshop, and it was pretty simple to import some of my previous artwork. Overall this is a high-quality program that gives you a ton of features for animating your work.

I have experience with 2D digital drawing in Photoshop and other similar programs and I have experience 3D animating with Poser, DAZ, and Maya but Ive never tried my hand at animating my 2D digital art. I thought it might be a fun new area to explore. Im not a professional and everything Ive done is all at the hobby level. This is a pretty pricey program to use for a hobbiest like myself and if the price point is too high they do offer the more basic package called Moho Debut. However, if you are really interested in animating even as a hobby, I think the Pro version is worth it for all the additional features it has. I especially appreciate that it imports my photoshop layers and if I update the photoshop layers it updates the file in Moho too. If you are creating things with layers that you want to keep as separate layers this is a huge difference from debut that for me is a big plus. You also get a lot more control over bones and transformations. If you have previous experience with flash supposedly theres a lot of similar features youll be familiar with (I never animated anything in flash so I cant comment on how similar it is). There are also many features youll find familiar if you have experience with drawing programs that work with layers or with 3D art/animation programs. This is, in my opinion, a great program for making your 2D art into an animation. However, it does have a steep learning curve. Even with experience I dont think anyone is going to open this program and immediately start creating any award winning animations. However, there are a lot of videos, and tutorials out there and if you commit some time to actually learning and using the program you will be eventually make some really nice stuff. Even when I had a basic understanding of the tools in the program getting a feel of how to actually use them well took time. Ive been using it lightly for about 3 months and still dont feel proficient, but what Im able to do in it now is definitely better than what I was doing a few months ago when I first got it. The learning curve is steep, but worth it if you want to create good animations.

Honestly this program has almost every tool possibly I’m sure, however it’s definitely not for beginners nor is it easy to learn. I’ve had it probably almost half a year now and I’m still trying to figure out how to use it. It’s very complicated. Probably a wonderful product if your familiar with animation.

Im trying to get my daughter to write a review. Shes being stubborn. She uses a variety of programs through school and has started learning this one. I will add more info when I have it.

Moho Pro software seemed intimidating at first but is incredibly easy to pick up once you use the included tutorial pdf. There are many methods to achieve animation with impressive results. This is my first time using this software line and I expected the 3D features as well, however, there are ways of still manipulating 3D-like environments and carrying over rendered objects in Jpeg formats. By using the Vitruvian bones to smooth out shapes and animate fluidly. The timeline reminds me of a video editor where you can manually record your motions on the mouse over of your bones and select the points In time, for which the chosen object begins animation. You can have many things going on at once in between any two points in time. The drawing function Is decent but crude, perhaps a drafting tablet is a better option but I rather import from other sources like Photoshop. I also use this in combination with other animation software with very little issue. The video results when exporting are lossless but results may vary, depending on your graphics card and PC. I will definitely continue using this until I am Pro at it (I’m a noob).

Excited to master the debut so we can dig in to the pro. I did get both as I figured we would have one installed on 2 different machines and that the debut version would be good training ground. I will upload some creations once I get a little better. The large number of features makes this a valuable addition to my business.

Moho Pro is an excellent value for all you get. I am new to animation and walking through the tutorials helps immensely. It makes animation much less intimidating. This software has some amazing capabilities and if you really go down the rabbit hole you can make amazing animation. So easy to use even my kids use it a little.

Want to produce animated videos with high-production value? Then, the Moho Pro 13.5 all-in-one animation tool is something you must-have for your PC. Used in Oscar-nominated movies like Wolfwalkers, the breadwinner, and song of the sea, this powerful vector drawing tool is highly optimized for powerful 2D animations using state-of-the-art rigging software like Smart Bones, and Vitruvian Bones, Forward Kinematics, Inverse Kinematics and much more. Moho Pro empowers you to create 3D characters with the ease of 2D, such as simulating 3D rotations, animating, gesturing, bending, and manipulating pictures at the click of a few buttons. The product is a full version with all features unlocked to save you from the trouble of recurring subscriptions.

I bought Moho from the official website. I bought some tutorials off of Udemy. I’m going to probably spend at least a few months wrapping my head around the best workflow for this software. Don’t be fooled by amateur works. This software is capable of amazing works. You just have to devote time to learning it.
