2D Character Rigging in Moho and Anime Studio

Rigging 2D characters can feel like a complex puzzle of joints, bones, and unwanted distortions. This course demystifies the entire process, showing you how to turn static vector artwork into flexible, expressive puppets ready for seamless animation. You will transition from understanding basic bone mechanics to building advanced, highly functional character rigs as you master the unique rigging tools that make Moho and Anime Studio industry favorites for 2D animation. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational rigging terminology, bone hierarchies, and parenting structures. - Apply different binding methods, including flexi-binding, point binding, and layer binding, to control vector artwork. - Configure Smart Bones to control joint bends and eliminate unwanted mesh distortions. - Set up target bones and inverse kinematics for natural limb movement. - Organize complex character layers and groups for a clean, professional animation workflow. - Implement modern rigging techniques such as Vitruvian Bones to easily swap limbs and assets. The course begins with essential concepts of bone physics and skeleton design before guiding you through practical rigging scenarios. You will progress from simple joint setups to constructing a complete, multi-jointed character rig with advanced controls. This course is designed for beginners, aspiring 2D animators, and digital artists who want to learn rigging from scratch, with no prior rigging experience required.
