I'm glad that helped! Yeah the panel confuses a lot of people and could be improved, but it's not an easy task. It's easy to make everything super clear while sacrificing screen space, efficiency (number of actions required to perform a task) or both. Like, for example, having three panels instead o...

I'm unaware of the logic in omitting the checkmark from the top style dropdown, but I'm happy to have found it. Thanks. EDIT: I just discovered that clicking on the checkmarked style does nothing; I still have to go to the top style dropdown to alter the style's color. The whole checkmark thing see...

Your post is very helpful. I'll also check out the link for the manual. I get the reason for styles and that's great and useful. But there was just a bit of missing data that made it a real brain twister. Thanks. This was missing data that was driving me nuts. :) I'm glad it helped. Yep the Style p...

I'm not totally sure what the intention of the OP is. In my case, When I have wanted to make the Frame 0 look like a specific frame, it's basically just a way of modifying the rig design using animation tools like bones, meshes etc. When I don't like something about the design but I'm not sure what ...

that will just bake the vectors, it won't move bones, so probably not what you want. Yes, I should clarify that the link I gave him has the steps I have used to have the bones and the vectors in frame 0 positioned like in a specific frame, which involves using your script to fix the vectors as one ...

Yes the two methods DK mentioned are the most used ones. The first (animate layer order) is simple but because the order of the layers is a string variable, you can't animate it from smartbones and from the main timeline without conflicts, so it's better to use it only in the main timeline. The seco...

haha yes my post answers that very specifically.

Keep in mind Copy Current Frame and Copy Deep Frame will work to copy the rig pose from the current frame to any other frame, but because frame zero works differently for many features, the rig will break. For example art won't follow the bones and smartbones initial angle will change breaking them ...

The short answer is no. We currently don't have a way to take a rig exactly how its posed at a frame and make it look the same at frame 0. I always wanted to be able to do it and it's something Moho or a new script could do, but that has never been developed. If you really really need to do this and...

That's good to know. Then I guess that's another case where the Shapes Window script is super useful.

Yes and yes. Then, for ease of mind, you can see the linked bones look a little bit different when you have their linked layer selected.

Oh I assumed animating the shape order would work but I haven't tried.

Link bones to layer? Yes it works with point binding and I don't remember how smooth joint pairs worked under the hood but I think it shouldn't be a problem. Link bones to layer is a way to tell Moho "this is the bone or the bones that go with this layer", and it has two consecuences: 1. W...

I keep understanding how liquid shapes work and then forgetting about it every time I use this feature but this script tool from Rai López is always my saviour specially when working with liquid shapes but also for any kind of shapes:

How do I limit which layers have flexibinding with other layers? and how do I use the offset bone tool to fix the issue (the offset bone repositions the bone) What synthsin75 said is correct, the offset tool is also used to avoid other bones (like the leg bone) from moving the wrong drawing (like t...
