Hey. Wondering if any one know's any good software were i can create some cool animated vids. Ive been really into drawing anime for a few days and ive come up with a cool idea for an anime. So naturally i wanna exstend my skills and learn how i would do this. I found a program callled Moho but google wasnt really helpfull enough at finding links and i couldent find the official website for it i got lots of wierd moho stuff .

I think flash might do this but from seeing the stuff on teh internet videos its not exatly the systle i wont. I was aiming for a look liek Naruto but of course i wont get that becouse its made by a team of people but id liek to saim for.

Any help i would really appreactiate.

You could try using a 3d modelling app with cartoon shading...But that might require learning.

I've known about this program called Anime Studio for a while but never had a need to buy it. Not sure if it's even remotely what you're looking for but it might be worth checking out anyway.

Figured i would give it a try. Ca anyone point me to teh right software. Im figuring blender has this feature becouse it has evreything. But i would most likly stick with using WIngs3d for modeling.

If I recall correctly, YafRay supports cartoon shading. I guess that the adequate material is in a materials package that you can find in the YafRay forum.

By the way, are animations possible to be created in Wings? If not, you can model in Wings, export to Blender and produce the animation in it.

Yea it does but Yafray with Wings3D dosent support any sort of animation. I do all my animations in milkshape.

So.. MilkShape does not offer support external rendering engines.. And I assume MilkShape's internal renderer does not support cartoon shading..

I guess you would better learn to use a more decent animation package. ^^

Well im not sure if it does but i think it might becouse its quite popular. And also ist a very decent package. It has modeling texturing(Some) animation and enough inport/export formats that the list cant fit on the screen.

Also ive downloaded Anime Studio demo and it seems cool of first inpresion. Also they have something called Mangana studio wich youve probly guess makes manga instead. I just wanted to ask is tehre a big population of people who like comics?. becouse when i do something i wont people to appreachiate it and it not just sitting on my site doing nothing with no download.

Also im sorry for any spellign mistakes i made its getting late.

The last thing you want to do is make cartoons (ie anime) in a 3D modeler, especially Milkshape or Blender. Moho, now Anime Studio, is a very good choice because it's cheap and will do everything you want, with tweening and the like. You can make anything in Flash, and while its not a dedicated cartoon studio, many professional studios have come up with workflows in flash that work well. It's just really expensive. Then there's ToonBoom, which is good but also a little more complicated.

That's not as bad as you think you said.

Any body else know anysoftware or methods for doing this?. Also can some one answere my question about if comics are big in there countrys?. They dont seem to be here. Also ive concidered using milkshape aswell but tehre one question. Would Yafray render each frame seperatly? and then save it as an .avi or something?.

Also Is tehre any sort of phsics engine for 3d modeling apps that will sort of work out the small stuff like gravity on the baggy clothes and stuff. If not i guess some extra bones will be inplace.

I would look up on the Yafray website but i cant get to teh user docs without a password :S.
