The most powerful 2D rigging system

Moho's rigging system is intuitive and fast. You can rig your own figures in minutes! Effortlessly create skeletons for people, animals, or any other creature or object you want to animate. Work with forward and inverse kinematics. Set target bones, add pin bones for special control, animate hierarchy, add constraints, add automatic compression and stretch to each bone, copy and paste 
animations relatively between different characters with similar skeletons, and more! Discover why Moho's rigging system is the "secret weapon" of many artists!

Drawing tools optimized for animation

The unique vector system in Moho is optimized for animation and rigging, always keeping shapes consistent as they move. Moho's vector tools let you draw directly in the software. You can also add brushes and effects to easily achieve natural results. Everything can be animated: Curvature, line width, exposure, curve profiles, paths, masks, gradients, opacity, point colors.... Moho's flexible tools allow you to animate any style!

Smart Bones

Smart Bones are a revolutionary way to make your figures exactly the way you want them. The joints of your figures will bend without distortion. You can also use Smart Bones as control levers 
to animate facial expressions, facial turns, or even entire body turns! The best part is that they are extremely easy to set up. Simply select the bone you want to turn into a Smart Bone, create an action for it, and animate the elements the way you want. Now every time you animate that bone, everything else will move exactly as you planned!

Vitruvian Bones (New in Moho 13.5)

Animating foreshortening and complex actions is easier than ever! Inspired by Da Vinci's drawing of the Vitruvian Man, Vitruvian Bones are a powerful new way to rig your characters. The intuitive V-bone system allows you to alternate different drawings and bone sets. For example, you can have different heads, each with its own controller. Or the same limbs in different perspectives. Vitruvian Bones lets you group them and animate them spontaneously, simply by switching from one to the next. Apply them to any part of the body or even switch between completely different bodies! This unique approach makes it easier to create rigged characters with the appeal of traditional animation.

Import Photoshop files

Create your illustrations in your favorite software: Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, Procreate, or any other application you prefer, then save your art as a PSD and import it into Moho. All layers are already there and can be edited and animated! 

Automatic mesh creation and quad meshes to animate exactly how you want! (New in Moho 13.5)

Meshes are now more powerful and easier to use. Just draw the details you want to animate and let Moho do the rest! With the new Quads, you can animate your artwork in true perspective by simply assigning it a four-point shape. Bringing your bitmap illustrations, images, and vector drawings to life has never been easier! New meshes open up a whole world of possibilities.

Bring life to your scenes with the new Wind Dynamics! (New in Moho 13.5)

Wind is the latest addition to Moho's powerful and easy-to-use physics tools! Take absolute control over the strength, direction and turbulence of the wind and bring your scenes to life in minutes. Give your backgrounds and characters new life with Wind Dynamics!

Automate your animations with physics, particles, and dynamics

Create complex realistic animations in a snap! Turn your scene into a gravity playground with the physics engine. Just press play and see how objects and characters bounce and react to each other's movements. Create rain, smoke, grass, flocks of birds, crowds, or anything you can imagine. Moho's powerful particle system lets you mix it with all the animation tools to get exactly the result you want. Add dynamics to your figures and create automatic follow through for ears, tails, antennae, clothing or anything you want to animate. Just move the figure and the dynamics will do the rest for you!

Take full control of your animation with the timeline, graphics mode, and multiple interpolation modes

Control every detail of your animation with Moho's deep and easy-to-use timeline. Adjust the interpolation mode to get exactly the timing you want: Smooth, Step, Easy In/Out, and many more. Create cycles for each channel, additive animation, set intervals to animate to 2s, 3s or any frame number. Easily create natural motion with Bounce and Elastic interpolation functions. Edit your animation with the graphics mode and much more! Moho's timeline is intuitive, clear and powerful!

Full 3D space and camera

Use Moho's 3D workspace to place and rotate your layers within it. Then move the camera around to easily create a multiplane effect. Have full control over the look of your layers with the option to automatically maintain the visual size of layers you move in 3D. Import 3D objects from your favorite software or create basic elements directly in Moho with the Extrusion, Inflate, and Rotate options for vector layers.

Lip sync tools

Create your lip sync easily with Switch Layers and Switch Selection Panel. Lip sync animation is fast and precise. Complement your work with Papagayo - an open source software also developed by Lost Marble - to automate lip sync. Just add the audio and text and Papagayo will create the keyframes for you!

FBX support for Unity™ game developers

Unity™ game developers and users can take advantage of FBX support for animated 2D content in Moho Pro. This eliminates the need to create rigid sprites for game development and provides the ability to achieve the exact look and feel desired. FBX, the customizable file format for 3D animation from Autodesk®, is the most common method for integrating animated 2D and 3D assets into Unity.

Personalize your experience with scripting
