(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.
Toon boom studio vs animate professional#
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.
