Anime Studio Pro and Moho
Moderators: Víctor Paredes, Belgarath, slowtiger
Moho - US$99, reached version 5.4.
Development, sales, and support, all by one man, the brilliant but over-worked Mike Clifton, with a new baby on the way. Reached a point where support requirements increased so that no new development was possible.
No further bug-fixes or new releases will be released.
Moho renamed Anime Studio - started at 5.5, US$49.99 standard version and US$199.99 Pro version.
e-frontier took over sales and support, freeing Mike Clifton to work on development and spend some time with his newborn child. Possibly some development support from e-frontier?
Free upgrade to Pro version at that time to all registered Moho users (if your registration email was still valid so you could be notified).
Split into half-price standard version with the more complicated features removed, and a more expensive Pro version with all the trimmings (closer to the original Moho). Minor changes from Moho such as making it difficult to do multi-layer fills (which tended to cause problems with new users).
A recent update release included a number of bug-fixes (particularly to the Mac version) and the addition of Unicode support (a huge feature if English is not your native language, and probably required a great deal of development time to integrate successfully throughout the whole application). File > Render was also added as a feature to the standard version and a number of corrections and updates were made to the (HTML-based) manual.
There have also been some sneak peeks (thanks to a brief but welcome re-appearance of Mike Clifton, the Great Marble himself, on the Lost Marble forums) of upcoming new features for Anime Studio - path animation (wonderful for animation of certain types of objects), animated layer re-ordering (excellent for solving a stack - ahem - of animation situations) and improvements to image texture fills (great for more textured vector-based characters).
Regards, Myles.
