You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 February 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Moho''' (previously marketed as '''Anime Studio''') is a proprietary [[Vector graphics|vector]]-based [[2D computer graphics|2D]] [[Computer animation|animation]] application distributed by Lost Marble LLC. It has two distinct packages: '''Moho Pro''' and '''Moho Debut'''. Moho Debut is similar to the pro version, but with restricted features.<ref name=":1" />

==History==
The software was originally developed under the name "Moho" in 1999 by Mike Clifton at Lost Marble. The software was distributed by E Frontier until 2007, when it was acquired by [[Smith Micro Software|Smith Micro]]<ref name=":1">((Cite web |date=2007-11-19 |title=Smith Micro Software Signs Definitive Agreement Acquiring E Frontier's 3D Graphic and Animation Software Solutions ((!)) CreativePro Network |url=https://creativepro.com/smith-micro-software-signs-definitive-agreement-acquiring-e-frontier-s-3d-graphic-and-animation-software-solutions/ |access-date=2023-09-29 |language=en-US))</ref> and renamed to Anime Studio.

In 2010, Smith Micro released '''Anime Studio 7''', which added features such as physics, 3D creation and an improved interface.

In 2011, '''Anime Studio 8''' added features such as the character Wizard, layered [[Adobe Photoshop|Photoshop]] import, and real-time media connection. Version 8.1 also supported the new Poser 9 SDK and integrated the [[Wacom (company)|Wacom]] [[multi-touch]] API, allowing it to work natively with Wacom's Bamboo and Intuos tablets.

In 2012, Smith Micro released '''Anime Studio 9''', with new features including smart bones, editable motion graphs, and bézier handles. It also included enhancements to the timeline, keyframes, and onion skin.

In 2014, '''Anime Studio 10''' contained upgraded features and new mechanics to its predecessor. Some of these include new drawing tools, improved inverse kinematics, squash & stretch, and rendering improvements. Version 10.1 added the ability to copy keyframes between similar characters. 

In 2015, '''Anime Studio 11''' added frame-by-frame animation, layer referencing, animated shape ordering, enhanced tools and brushes, JSON file format support, and other features.

In 2016, '''Anime Studio''' was rebranded as its original name '''Moho''' by Smith Micro Software to reflect the software's ability to create more animated content than anime.<ref name=":0">((Cite web |title=Smith Micro Releases Moho 12, Formerly Known as Anime Studio |url=https://www.awn.com/news/smith-micro-releases-moho-12-formerly-known-anime-studio |access-date=2023-09-29 |website=Animation World Network |language=en))</ref>

In 2016, '''Moho 12''' was released with pin bones, optimized bézier handles, improved free hand tools, smart warp, real motion blur, and more.<ref>((cite web| url = http://my.smithmicro.com/anime-studio-pro-debut-compare-versions.html|title = Moho Pro vs Debut Feature Comparison List))</ref> Moho Pro 12 was released in August 2016. In October 2016, Moho became available for the [[Microsoft Surface]] Studio. Smith Micro worked with Microsoft to develop Moho functionality for the Surface Dial peripheral. This feature set enabled users to create animations more quickly and easily through functions such as a new overlay timeline, rigged characters, rotating canvases and frame-by-frame animation.

In June 2019, '''Moho 13''' introduced new bitmap tools, including bitmap frame to frame capabilities, and re-engineered 3D object support.<ref>((cite web | url = https://lesterbanks.com/2019/06/moho-13-released-with-bitmap-frame-by-frame-animation-and-more/|title = Moho 13 Released With Bitmap Frame By Frame Animation and More))</ref>

On 22 December 2020, it was announced that the Moho 2D animation software had been acquired by '''Lost Marble LLC''', a company founded by Mike Clifton, the original creator of Moho, and Victor Paredes, Supervisor of Moho animation at [[Cartoon Saloon]] and former Moho Product Manager.<ref>((cite web | url = https://www.smithmicro.com/2020/12/22/smith-micro-announces-sale-of-moho-2d-animation-software/ | title = Smith Micro Announces Sale of Moho® 2D Animation Software))</ref>

On 26 April 2021, Lost Marble LLC released '''Moho 13.5''', with new features including Vitruvian Bones, Wind Dynamics and Quad meshes, as well as a slightly refreshed User Interface. 

On 12 September 2023, Lost Marble LLC released '''Moho 14''', with new features including a new graphics engine, improved drawing and frame-by-frame Tools, liquid shapes, curvers, new freehand styles, smart line boil, easier follow through and overlapping with dynamics, delayed constraints, updated scripting interface, a better timeline, Improved SVG support and Improvements to the user interface.
