What you'll learn

  • How to prepare and organize your character artwork for rigging — including optional prep work in Photoshop, part separation, and importing assets into Moho 14.
  • Build bones and Smart Actions for natural bending, clean joint motion, and flexible character movement.
  • Create target bones and IK controls with independent angles to ground and stabilize your rig.
  • How to build a complete 360° rotation system, copying point coordinates, setting up Smart Actions for rotation, and testing directional flips for smooth transi
  • How to design and integrate facial controls, switch layers, and mouth positions for expressive 360° head turns and animations.
  • How to troubleshoot bone bending issues, correct joint direction with Alt-drag, and finalize your rig for test animation.
