December 19, 2024 - Moho Animation Software just released its new Moho 14.3 Mantis Shrimp update, free for all Moho 14 owners. The highlight of this new version is the new Color Drift and Opacity options for brushes. Animating with Mantis Shrimp offers the artist the best of two worlds: The flexibility of vectors with the expressiveness of natural painting.

"The new Color Drift feature allows users to set Hue, Saturation and Value parameters for a brush. The stroke starts with an original color and drifts to a different one, easily mimicking hand painted materials like gouache or acrylic blending. The more pressure applied to the pen, the more the color will drift", says Victor Paredes, co-founder of Moho. The new Opacity option gives pen pressure control over line transparency, making it feel like realistic charcoal sketching or watercolor painting.

These improvements allow artists to mix colors and create natural looking artwork in ways only seen in traditional media and bitmap software. Both Color Drift and Opacity values are saved into each vector point, making them easy to modify, either individually or several points at a time, using the Magnet Mode.

Brushes built for movement

All the values in Moho are built to be animated. Opacity and Color Drift can be modified directly in the timeline. "When we think about brushes, it is not only about having many settings, but also about flexibility, performance, creation and modification of brushes and optimization for movement", states Victor Paredes.

All the values can be modified and animated with great plasticity and excellent performance. Being able to modify these brushstrokes in real time improves the animation workflow and saves valuable time.

"Our goal is to create rigged animation that can live together with traditional animation. That's why our focus is not only on creating the best tools for rigging, but also providing drawing tools and brushes that can look as natural as possible".

Moho 14.3 Mantis Shrimp includes many other features and fixes that old and new users will enjoy, such as new options for the Paint Bucket tool, Lasso mode for selecting shapes, better masking preview and render, improved antialiasing for brushes, improved language support, performance improvements and much more.
