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

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.

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).

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.

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.

I wanted to make some business related animations and obtained this software to help with that. It installed easily on a Microsoft Surface Studio. The software is not obvious to the unitiated so I had to take some time to learn it. I can now create some failrly basic animations and am pleaed with how this software helps me with that process. I am sure someone with more training could really make soem great animations.

I picked this up for my graphics guy to use to make commercials and stuff for my company.... unfortunately due to his health failing; we havent really used it more than a couple times. However the software is quite robust and it has little tutorials that show you how to use it. will mess around with it more in the future and report back more details but the software is pretty cool with tons of base presets and also works with touch displays to draw your own things into it.

This is amazing, professional animation software for 2d animation. I started with the introductory version to get my feet wet. That me going with minimal learning, but this pro version provides much more. I was already with general movie editing software as well as music software, so the concept of layering is not new to me. However, I have no animation experience. Using this package, in no time, I was able to set up mini vignettes and scenes. Ive gained a good feel for the capabilities of this software, but I feel like Ive only just scratched the surface. Theres lots of educational videos available on YouTube for exploring the basic as well as some of the more professional possibilities. Very capable professional grade 2d animation. Recommended.

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.

I purchased this software, for my YouTube channel. Its just for use to illustrate points I wish to accentuate. I have been through the manual, several times and completed the first tutorial. This will definitely be worth the money I investested. I am particularly excited that I can use my own art, for these projects. As stated, Ive only completed the tutorial. So far, so good!!!

Im no animator. Im not even an artist. I am a dabbler, though, so I was particularly intrigued by the possibilities with Lost Marbles Moho Animation Software Pro 13.5. Although I could have opted for Moho Debut 13.5, which is a simplified and much less expensive version of this software like Adobe Photoshop Elements is to regular Photoshop, just like with Photoshop I would rather try and work with the best version of the software whenever possible. Skeletal animation, or rigging, has been one of the great boons for animated shows and other projects. What it essentially involves is a surface representation called a mesh or skin over a hierarchical set of interconnected parts called bones that collectively form the skeleton or rig. In its simplest terms, this setup allows the animator to more easily and realistically make characters move with less effort. One of my favorite shows, Rick and Morty, makes use of these concepts, and is at the heart of Moho Animation Software Pro. Of course, if youre considering software at this price point, which is high, but not outrageous, youre likely familiar with many of its concepts, including Smart and Vitruvian Bones, or at least willing to learn. Even though Im a self-proclaimed dabbler, I do hope to use it for some professional projects now and again, as well as for fun personal experiments. So while someone like me should arguably go with Moho Debut 13.5 instead, the extra ambition and cost of this Pro software may be just the additional motivation youll need to make more use of it. As is typical for modern boxed software, you get a disc in a DVD-style case. Theres no actual box like is implied on the store page. Inside of course are no instructions, just a welcome note, the serial number license code, and a discount for add-on products like additional assets. If you dont have a disc drive in your computer, or a USB add-on drive, you can simply download the latest version of the software from the Lost Marble website and enter the included code. In other words, the disc is superfluous. Although not as powerful as some of my other computers, I decided to install this to my Surface Book 2 because of the touchscreen and pen support. While the software supports macOS 10.15 or higher, I of course installed the Windows 10 version on my computer, which also meets the relatively modest minimum requirements. Youll need just under 2GB of hard drive space for a full install. Installation went smoothly. It required me to restart my computer to finish installation. The software icon is a stylized m and the software name is Moho, although youll also see it in marketing as MoHo and MOHO. Once launched, it runs in its demo mode until you enter your serial number. When entering your serial number, be sure to enter the dashes or it wont work (capitalization doesnt matter). When first starting the program, youre given the option of an INTRODUCTORY TUTORIAL (thankfully), an option to JOIN THE MOHO FORUM, an option to follow MOHO SOCIAL NETWORKS, and another option to BUY ADD-ONS. You can also choose not to show these opening options again and just start the software directly. When youre in the software, a sample model is pre-loaded. Youre able to manipulate the aforementioned bones and create timeline-based animations much like standard video editing software. From there I began to tinker. Although I have yet to really make anything ready to demonstrate, it was indeed relatively easy to create and export simple animations, although the latter does take several minutes even with shorter creations and even using multiple CPU cores. This is clearly powerful stuff for the dedicated enthusiast. Although the user interface is loaded and intimidating, its again nothing out of the ordinary for this level of software. I feel like its something I can eventually get a real handle on without issue, especially due to my background in other software like Photoshop. Ultimately, I had a good time with the software. While I know you can read plenty of reviews from far more qualified artists and animators, as a casual user I can say its well worth exploring if you have an interest in animation. It may not be for the true animation pros, but those who are well into the semi-pro enthusiast level should find a lot to like.
