Does anyone know how this was done?

This is a demonstration showing you in real time how I animate almost 5 seconds of animation in less than 40 seconds in 2D rigging software called Moho. No plugins, no AI, no tricks.

Does anyone want to take a guess as to how this was done?

Free Moho rigging breakdown + practice file

When possible, I’m also including a free Moho rig + animation file with each episode of RIG your RIG so people can study the setup afterward.

The file will be linked in the YouTube description.

I’m a U.S. based Moho character animator and rigger. Here’s my latest reel.

I’m McCoy Buck, a U.S. based Moho character animator and rigger with 12+ years of experience using Moho. Most people know me from tutorials and teaching, but I also take on professional Moho animation and rigging work for agencies, studios, creators, and production teams.

This reel shows a mix of Moho character animation, rigging, and production work.

I'm Open to feedback on the reel itself, especially the animation, rigging, shot selection, and if my work is presented clearly.

Want me to RIG your RIG?

What’s up, Reddit!

Have you ever wanted to ask a professional Moho rigger how they would rig your rig?

Or maybe you’re stuck on a specific rigging problem and need help figuring it out.

That’s exactly what RIG your RIG is for.

Every Saturday at 11 AM MDT, I go live on the ‪@mccoy_buck_LIVE‬ YouTube channel and help Moho users troubleshoot their rigs in real time.

You submit your rig, along with your questions or problems, and I work through it live during the show.

Submit your rig here:

There are only two slots left for Episodes 9 and 10.

Once you submit your rig, I’ll review all submissions and email you back if your rig is selected, along with the episode it will be featured in.

This is the scene the reader will be able to animate in the upcoming book - The Animator's Blueprint: The Beginner's Guide to Mastering Moho (Release Date: July 20th)

  • At the end of the book you will have a fully animated scene
  • Downloadable project files
  • Available at all major retailers world wide where books are sold

How do I rig this character?

This is one of the questions we'll be covering in this week's RIG your RIG LIVE.

Along with a few others:

  1. Love to see how this would look with blurred shading and highlights.
  2. Can you "finetune" the rig so the limb bends don't get squeezed flat?
  3. As a rig, how would you go about making this rig as similar to Disney frame by frame style as possible?
