Lost Marble LLC announced its first major release of Moho since its acquisition of the product in late 2020 — the meticulously fine-tuned Moho 14. Lost Marble says it has transformed the program into the ultimate animation software for professionals, indie creators and studios alike.
The focal point of Moho 14’s development has been an extensive revamp of the rigging and traditional animation tools, performance improvements thanks to a totally new graphics engine and new unique ways to create 2D animation. All this is aimed at enhancing the creative workflow with advanced technology designed for 2D animation, fueled by user feedback and industry insights.
Key features:
- Most Powerful 2D Rigging System: Moho 14 introduces an intuitive and fast rigging system, enabling users to create skeletons for characters and objects effortlessly. Rigging tools include forward and inverse kinematics, pin bones, constraints, automatic squash and stretch, and seamless animation transfer.
- Revolutionary Smart Bones: Smart Bones revolutionize character behavior, allowing joints to bend without distortion. They can also be used as control levers for facial expressions, rotations, and body movements.
- Introducing Liquid Shapes: Animating rire, smoke, explosions and water is easier than ever. Liquid Shapes are a unique way to draw and animate soft shapes. Combine, subtract, intersect, blend and animate shapes to create impressive elemental animation.
- Drawing Tools Optimized for Animation: Moho’s vector system, optimized for animation and rigging, ensures consistent shapes during movement. Artists can draw directly in the software and apply brushes and effects for natural results.
- New Graphics Engine: Moho 14’s new graphics engine enhances performance and real-time rendering of effects, gradients and blending modes, providing a preview close to the final render.
- Improved Frame-by-Frame Tools: With the new graphics engine, drawing tools like Freehand, Blob Brush and Eraser are responsive and intuitive, allowing for more creative freedom.
“Moho 14 marks a significant leap forward in animation software,” says Victor Paredes, President of Lost Marble. “We’ve combined innovation and user feedback to create an unparalleled tool that empowers artists to bring their ideas to life.”
Moho Pro 14 is available for $399.99, and Moho Debut 14 for aspiring animators is $59.99. Detailed product, pricing, and upgrade information is available at moho.lostmarble.com.
