Mosketch by Moka Studio
Quick & Easy 3D Character Animation
Mosketchâ„¢ combines advanced sketching techniques and a powerful inverse kinematics solver to easily and quickly create 3D character animation
Unleash your creativity
With Mosketchâ„¢, you don’t need to build and master complex control rigs. You can focus on what really matters: the artistic side of animation
Animate any 3D Character
Thanks to its generic architecture, Mosketchâ„¢ can animate any 3D character using joints only. Complex control rigs are not needed anymore.
Import your 3D character (a humanoid, a dog, a tyrannosaurus, a tree, a septapus, etc) and start animating immediately using sketching, IK and FK.
Intuitive sketching
Sketch on your 3D character joints to quickly design key poses, block an animation and establish timing.
Sketch lines of action to add more dynamics and life to your 3D character animations.
Powerful IK Solver
Pose your 3D character by dragging its limbs. With its unique Up- and Down-influence concepts, Mosketchâ„¢ provides quick and full control on any joint, its parent and its descendants.
In Mosketchâ„¢, you can even create, modify and delete IK chains, of any length, for any joints, at run time. This gives you more freedom to use IK, the way you want, when you want it.
Flexibility
Mosketchâ„¢ forward and inverse kinematics work in parallel so you don’t need to worry about FK/IK switching: you can change seamlessly from one to the other.
Sketch the pose you want, refine it with IK, then FK, then sketch again instead of dragging numerous animation controls around.
Christian De Vita
What is your name and your current occupation?
Christian De Vita and currently I work for TeamTo in Paris as storyboard supervisor of an 11 minuteX52 episode 3D animation comedy series.
What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
Not many crazy jobs before animation to be honest. I went straight from college into animation. As a student I worked as a waiter back in Italy for a while to save a little money for when I moved to the UK. But it wasn’t a crazy restaurant and I definitely wasn’t a crazy waiter.
What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
The two main films I worked on in the past 4 years: Fantastic Mr Fox, where I was Lead Story Artist, and recently Frankenweenie, as I had always been a fan of Tim’s work.
How did you become interested in animation?
I originally wanted to be a comic book artist. I studied animation in Rome at the Roberto Rossellini institute for Film and Television as I’d read that Continue reading
Nickelodeon Creates Original Movie In-House with Dell Workstations
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82vRWa5rXi0
Did you spend as much time watching television over the holidays as I did? If so, then you might have caught Nickelodeon’s first original animated TV movie, Albert. In the film, Bobby Moynihan (from “Saturday Night Liveâ€) is the voice of a little Douglas fir tree named Albert who wants to become the Empire City tree.
Albert’s 3.1 million total viewers in Live+7 (which in TV ratings talk means the number of viewers within seven days of first showing) helped Nickelodeon finish 2016 as the number-one kid’s network for the year, according to numbers released last week.
Even if you were one of those millions of viewers, I bet you likely missed the story about how Dell Precision 5810 workstations helped them bring their first 45-minute movie to life, though.
“Using the Dell Precision with NVIDIA Quadro M6000 graphics cards has allowed us to stay competitive with overseas studios because we’re able to turn around results much faster and we’re able to keep a smaller team longer and be more efficient,†said Jason Meier, animation director at Nickelodeon, in the video below.
And if you missed it, or just want to hold on to that Christmas spirit and watch it again, the full Albert movie is available on Nick.com!
