Moho (formerly marketed as Anime Studio) is a proprietary vector-based 2D Computer animation software. ==History== The software was originally developed under the name "Moho" in 1999 by Mike Clifton at Lost Marble. The software was distributed by E Frontier until 2007, when it was acquired by Smith Micro Software and renamed to Anime Studio. In 2010, Smith Micro released Anime Studio 7, which added features such as physics, 3D creation, and an improved interface. In 2011, Anime Studio 8 added features such as the character Wizard, layered Photoshop import, and real-time media connection. Version 8.1 also supported the new Poser 9 SDK and integrated the Wacom multi-touch API, allowing it to work natively with Wacom's Bamboo and Intuos tablets. In 2012, Smith Micro released Anime Studio 9, with new features including smart bones, editable motion graphs, and bézier handles. It also included enhancements to the timeline, keyframes, and onion skin. In 2014, Anime Studio 10 contained upgraded features and new mechanics to its predecessor. Some of these include new drawing tools, improved inverse kinematics, squash & stretch, and rendering improvements. Version 10.1 added the ability to copy keyframes between similar characters. In 2015, Anime Studio 11 added frame-by-frame animation, layer referencing, animated shape ordering, enhanced tools and brushes, JSON file format support, and other features. In 2016¹, Anime Studio was rebranded as its original name Moho by Smith Micro Software to reflect the software's ability to create more animated content than anime. In 2016, Moho 12 was released with pin bones, optimized bézier handles, improved free hand tools, smart warp, real motion blur, and more. Moho Pro 12 was released in August 2016. In October 2016, Moho became available for the Microsoft Surface Studio. Smith Micro worked with Microsoft to develop Moho functionality for the Surface Dial peripheral. This feature set enabled users to create animations more quickly and easily through functions such as a new overlay timeline, rigged characters, rotating canvases, and frame-by-frame animation. In June 2019, Moho 13 introduced new bitmap tools, including bitmap frame to frame capabilities, and re-engineered 3D object support. On 22 December 2020, it was announced that the Moho 2D animation software had been acquired by Lost Marble LLC, a company founded by Mike Clifton, the original creator of Moho, Victor Paredes, Supervisor of Moho animation at Cartoon Saloon and former Moho Product Manager and Fahim Niaz, Founder at Graphixly LLC and former Moho Product Manager. On 26 April 2021, Lost Marble LLC released Moho 13.5, with new features including Vitruvian Bones, Wind Dynamics, Quad meshes, and a slightly refreshed user interface. On 12 September 2023, Lost Marble LLC released Moho 14, with new features including a new graphics engine, improved drawing and frame-by-frame tools, liquid shapes, curvers, new freehand styles, smart line boil, easier follow through and overlapping with dynamics, delayed constraints, an updated scripting interface, a better timeline, and improved SVG support and user interface. ==Notable uses== ===Feature films=== Romeo & Juliet: Sealed with a Kiss (Phil Nibbelink Productions) - 2006 Até ao Tecto do Mundo (Cine-Clube de Avanca) - 2007 The Secret of Kells (Cartoon Saloon) - 2009 Technotise: Edit & I (Yodi Movie Craftsman; Black, White & Green studio) - 2009 Song of the Sea (Cartoon Saloon) - 2014 The Breadwinner (Cartoon Saloon) - 2017 Wolfwalkers (Cartoon Saloon) - 2020 My Father's Dragon (Cartoon Saloon) - 2022 Puffin Rock and the New Friends (Cartoon Saloon) - 2023 Julián (film) (Cartoon Saloon) - 2025 ===Short films, TV and Web series=== Squirrel and Hedgehog (SEK Studio) - 2007 Os Ecoturistinhas (TV-Rá-Tim-Bum) - 2008 Old Fangs (Cartoon Saloon) - 2009 Doutor Raio X (TV Rá-Tim-Bum) - 2011 Isso Disso (TV Rá-Tim-Bum) - 2011 PopPixie (RAI Studio) - 2011 Winx Club (RAI Studio) - 2011 Ant and Big Centipede (SEK Studio) - 2012 Ants to Suri Mountain (SEK Studio) - 2012 Eu e o Quarteto Apavorante (TV Rá-Tim-Bum) - 2013 Somewhere Down the Line (Cartoon Saloon) - 2014 The Ledge End of Phil: From Accounting (Cartoon Saloon) - 2014 Boy General (SEK Studio) - 2015 Two Boys who Found the Answer (SEK Studio) - 2015 H2O: Mermaid Adventures on Netflix (Fantasia Animation) - 2015 Puffin Rock (Cartoon Saloon) - 2015 World of Winx on Netflix (RAI Studio) - 2016 Late Afternoon (Cartoon Saloon) - 2017 Stitch & Ai (Panimation Hwakai Media/Showfun Animation) - 2017 Our Class Lawn (SEK Studio) - 2018 DJ Cão e a Loja de Discos (TV Rá-Tim-Bum) - 2019 There's a Monster In My Kitchen (Cartoon Saloon) - 2020 Clever Raccoon Dog (SEK Studio) - 2021 Invincible (Skybound Entertainment/SEK Studio) - 2021 Star Wars: Visions: Screecher’s Reach (Cartoon Saloon/Lucasfilm) - 2023 Scavengers Reign on Max/Netflix (Titmouse) - 2023 Judas Iscariot (Studio Stigmata) - 2025 Éiru (Cartoon Saloon) - 2025 ==See also== List of 2D animation software Manga Studio ==References== ==External links== , Moho (Anime Studio) Lost Marble LLC - Official page Moho (Anime Studio) Forum - Official page Moho (Anime Studio) Tutorials Moho Scripting - Scripting documentation
