Re: How to : rig rubber hose arms

Also, if the Curver layer itself is 100%, then it could be the scale of a group layer up the hierarchy affecting it.

Re: How to : rig rubber hose arms

Just a thought: Could it be a matter of layer scale? Check the size of the Curver layer to see if it's been reduced. When rigging, it's best practice to keep all layers at 100% size on frame zero to prevent situations like that.

Re: Onion skin and bone snap

I think he means bones snapping to other bones. @Hamedss, Bones snapping only works at frame 0. If you need bones to go back to their frame 0 position while on later frames, you can use the Reset Bone command, which resets selected bones. You'll want to assign a shortcut to it since it doesn't have ...

Re: Layer reference acceptable parameters

I don't know about that example specifically, but in my experience, many items that are not keyframeable will not carry over in a Reference update. For example: Bone Strength. If I update a 'master' rig for referencing, and one of the changes is in bone strength, other animators on the prod need to ...

Re: MR Guides Script 1.2

It's been 2 years since I commented here about MR Guides, and I just had to come back and say I still use this tool all the time. This really should be a native feature.

Thanks again for creating and sharing so many wonderful tools for Moho, Eugene!

Re: Locked Layer Q

As mentioned, RMB clicking on the Timeline can shift it. If I'm not careful, I sometimes accidentally shift it this way. It's easy enough to correct, but it can be a pain when I don't catch the mistake before doing a lot of animation.

So be careful. :D

Re: Animation to a GIF

I use Moho to create GIFs for the forums all the time. The trick is to set the color palette before rendering because GIF is limited to a total of only 256 colors. To do this, go to a frame that contains all the colors and is most representative of the animation and press Ctrl+R. Then, at the bottom...

Re: Copy bones to another arm

What I do is save a copy of the project, and then rename the bones and actions for the mirror side. For example, if your bone/action has an R at the end, change it to an L. When renaming actions, you can select the root group of the item (i.e, the 'arm' group,) and rename the actions for that. The r...

Re: Locked Layer Q

Daxel explained it well.

You can also fix the offset by RMB-Click dragging in the timeline to move the offset back one frame. This is the same as going into Sequencer and shifting the layer. It's just more direct this way because you don't need to change the Timeline view to Sequencer.

Re: Locked Layer Q

Are you on frame 0? I'm guessing you are because I see the bold red highlight in the bottom edge. The Smart Bone situation I described wouldn't affect frame 0, so I'm not sure why the layer would be locked. Here's another thought: could the layer be offset in time? I've run into situations where tha...

Re: Locked Layer Q

A couple of thoughts... Moho doesn't have a native way to lock items. There is a script by Synthsin75 for locking layers, but it wouldn't be that if you don't have the script installed. When an item otherwise becomes 'locked' in Moho, the most likely reason is that the item has been keyframes inside...

Oh, yeah! I almost forgot about that tool.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to try it for what I just described. :D

Re: Bone Transparency and Pin bone can be manipulated with manipuated bone tool

I think I understand. Do you want Bones transparency to be adjustable so some bones can have different transparency from other bones? Interesting idea. Yes, I would use that myself, and mostly because I feel the current semi-transparency can make some bones too hard to see over certain artwork color...

Re: Layer effects in Action

Moho's lighting effects are basically offset alphas processed to simulate light and shadow. It looks pretty good if you don't need complex interior shading, but it's limited. You can animate the effects using a Smart Bone at the Styles level, but this setup can get complicated. You should be able to...
