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.

Im not too good with the computer and downloading software but it use to be way more simple than now a days. Im updating a past review of how horrible my experience was with this product. I tried downloading with disc and online countless times and would stop and give me a error message every time. After hours with no luck I gave up and gave one star. I sat back down again to try and through customer service we figured out my issue and updated my Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package. One I did that I was able to download that software. Thankfully! Once I downloaded and started messing with it I found it to be a little difficult but with a little effort it became easier. Now remember Im no computer geek so someone with experience would probably have no issues. My granddaughter loves it and spend countless hours creating characters with no problems at all. She has even made her on videos and she says its quite simple once you get the feel of the program. So I now will recommend this software. Its worth the money when you see someone totally into it and the countless was for them to create and have a creative mind.

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

If you want simple 2D animations or straight frame to frame animations like in a 2D videogame object, its probably better to go with a public domain system like Blender. However, Moho does have a lot of strong animation tools and works with both 2D and 3D models. Tools are relatively easy to use especially for those familiar with many of the animation tools and such out there. Its heads above the last system I used back in 1995, when I was making videogame animations at a game school in Vancouver. We used a hand-me down software, the version of 3D Studio prior to 3D Studio Max, and the difference was like working with Windows 3.11 vs Windows 95 for those who remember those days. This is a polished product, the cost is not high like the licensing fee for 3D studio, but you will need to add something like Blender or Max to create the models and other objects. Moho is strictly and animation program. Therefore, the target audience would be animators who need something to create the animation from pre-created models. It gets a mild recommend for combining with Blender or other inexpensive modeling software to do a professional finishing touch on your animations.

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.
