Anime Studio is a 2D vector-based cartoon animation application. It is not an ink & paint tool that works with scanned drawings - Moho provides the complete set of tools you need to create an animated cartoon, from drawing and painting to keyframe animation and multi-layer compositing and final output of QuickTime and AVI movie files, as well as streaming Flash animations.

Anime Studio's unique set of tools make it possible for a single animator (or a small team) to produce animation that traditionally would require a large group working together. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can complete projects in Moho.

Here are some key features of "Anime Studio":

· Draw and animate your own cartoons
· Vector-based system allows for unlimited editing without sacrificing quality
· Easily animate complex characters with Moho's unique bone system
· Combine fill and line styles to give your work a distinctive look
· Export your animations as AVI or QuickTime movies for output to videotape or as Flash SWF files for streaming over the web.


Limitations:

· Final images and movies that you export are watermarked with a "demo" label
· Exported Flash animations appear only in grayscale.


What's New in This Release:

· Anime Studio is now a Universal Binary application, and runs natively on both PowerPC and Intel Macintosh computers.
· Major speed improvement for both PowerPC and Intel Mac versions of Moho - playback and overall interaction is much smoother.
· Paint Bucket tool for filling shapes with color - see the updated manual for more details.
· Support for using MP3 sound files for soundtrack when exporting to QuickTime or SWF.
· Various bug fixes.
