PS What did you think of Mulan 2? I haven't seen it, since it was ripped to shreds by just about anyone who saw it.

In short, the software is used to speed up the entire animation process, but the raw drawings are still mostly done by manual labourious frame by frame animation.Īnyway, If you want to be impressed by something, be impressed by the animators, not the software, in these cases. Backgrounds are painted (either traditionally or by digital painting), effects are added in OpenToonz, scrolling backgrounds, and so on, and so forth. The open sourced version OpenToonz was used in a paper-based workflow for last year's Mary and the Witch's Flower.Īgain, the animators draw and animate on paper, and the line drawings are then scanned, cleaned up, and coloured in the software. Studio Ghibli made the transition to an identical paper-based workflow using Toonz ( Spirited Away was produced with the help of Toonz). The software was used to speed up the cleaning up, colouring, and overall production workflow.ĭon't forget Mulan 2 came out in 2004, which means they were using a TB version from 15 years ago! Probably scanned in, cleaned up, and coloured in what was Toon Boom back in 2004.

I just watched mulan 2 and was impressed to see at the end credits that the movie was made using toon boom. These two work together with a single button click to render passes for programs like AE.

If you use Moho with a compositing program, be sure to learn how to use Moho's Layer Comps system and Moho Exporter. (I do use the Hitfilm plugins in AE though.) There's also Hitfilm but I don't have much experience with this program. Back when I first started using Fusion, it cost $5k, but BMD now sells it for under $300, which is a real bargain!

If you can afford it, the full version of Fusion is well worth the cost. If you're on a budget, Fusion comes in a free version that has most of the paid version's features. (That's an understatement but it works.) If you have an Adobe CC subscription, you get AE along with Animate (for FBF), Photoshop, Illustrator, and other useful production tools like Audition and Premiere.įusion is a powerful nodes based compositor, which may seem intimidating at first but it's actually a more flexible and efficient compositing system than working with layers and precomps.
You can think of it as Photoshop with individually animateable layers. So which compositing package to choose? AE is a more familiar workflow for many 2D artists to understand because it's layer based. (Back when I was an artist in the Box at Rhythm & Hues, I used Fusion for compositing.) I like using Fusion and After Effects for personal projects, and at my workplace I use After Effects.

If you decide to go with a hybrid workflow (Moho + an FBF animation program + a 3D animation program) like what I do in much of my personal and professional work, you'll want to get a good compositing program too. Any of these programs work well for creating FBF image sequences for Moho. If you're on a budget, look into OpenToonz and Krita.these can be downloaded and used for free. TB is one program for this, but there are other good ones like TVPaint and Adobe Animate (formerly called Flash). I think the FBF tools are okay for simple stuff but if you intend to create a lot of complex FBF animation, you should use a dedicated FBF program. Moho does come with a native FBF system but it's still pretty primitive. Moho's puppet rigs are certainly capable of animation that looks like FBF but I don't think that's the best use of this program. Where I work, we create both types of animation, so we use both of these programs (along with Adobe Animate and After Effects,) and sometimes we may use multiple programs in a single scene.Ĭan Moho be used to animate 'Mulan' style? Since Mulan was mostly animated using FBF techniques, my quick answer is 'not easily'. IMO, Moho is an excellent puppet animation program but it's a bit weak for creating FBF, and TB is an excellent FBF program but its puppet rigging is not as capable as Moho. Toon Boom or Moho: I think it depends on the type of animation you want to do, FBF or puppet.
