Instructor Details

Brian Jackson

I was born the middle of the last century in Los Angeles, California. After moving for a time to the Silicon Valley, I graduated from Humboldt State University amid the redwoods of Northern California.
Two weeks after graduation I was working as a computer systems programmer for Lockheed Missiles and Space (LMSC) back in the Silicon Valley. Two months after that and I was married as I have been happy ever since (for 40 years).
After 14 years at Lockheed I moved from working on IBM mainframes to using PCs running the Unix operating system and encountered a thing called the Internet. Cisco Systems seemed to be the right place to work, so I joined the company as their 650th employee. Eleven years later Cisco had grown to over 20,000 employees.
I retired at the age of 48 and instantly became bored!
Throughout my professional career I'd always enjoyed both writing and providing technical training. So, I attended creative writing classes at my local junior college and began to write.
I managed to write and self-publish a handful of books, but things didn't take off until my wife, Melanie Jackson, an established author with a New York company, left traditional publishing to join me in self-publishing.
In 10 years, from 2010 to now, Melanie and I have made half-a-million dollars self-publishing well over 100 books. I also managed to record a pair of audiobooks for Amazon and Audible sale.
By 2014, our rapid rise to Kindle fame had already dwindled. I decided to p

I am a newbie so i did learn some interesting things

By Scott Sampson on 9/3/2019

I am really enjoying this course so far, and it's really helping me wrap my brain around rigging in Moho. The only minor issue I have is that I find that I'm playing the course at around 1.25x speed due to the slightly slower speech of the instructor, but then having to go back and rewatch certain sections when he blazes through new things without repeating himself. That being said, he is very organized and engaging, so give this course a try if you're a beginner like me!

so good

By Tim Wilson on 4/26/2019

The course started of well but I encountered problems as it progressed. There were a number of areas where important information seemed to be missing and I had to spend a considerable amount of time searching online forums and other tutorials looking for information to enable me to complete the exercises. Two areas where I found critical information lacking was in the masking of eyes (section 3.11) and smart bones dials (section 4.14). There was also no asset (hands) provided for one exercise that demonstrated copying hands. While it was easy enough to draw some hands I found it annoying that it was impossible to do this exercise because of the missing resources.
While looking for information online I encountered people doing exactly the same course and experiencing the same problems so I am not the only person to have these issues.
The course fulfilled its purpose of providing a basic introduction to Moho 12 modelling and animation. For a commercial course I felt that quality control was lacking in places. It could easily have been made into a very good course with just a little bit more care and effort.
At one stage I also looked at the questions other people had posted and noticed that none of them had been answered. There was also a complaint about questions not being answered. What is the point of having a question facility if it is not supported? If would be better to just turn it off.

like the idea of correct proportions

By Greg Wright on 9/15/2018

Content is exactly what I was looking for and the instructor has a very agreeable and friendly speaking voice.

The first time i launched Moho, i got scared with the interface and a whole lot of confusing features it possesses but right now i think i can start working my way through them

By Ian Roberts on 9/2/2018

Very good starter course.
In Section 3 Lecture 9 from 1/2 way through. I couldn't really see what was happening on screen, as with the grid and all the body parts. when zoomed in everything was way too busy.
