Re: Moho 12: Has it caught up with CelAction 2D in 2018?

Wait, is this true about the elephant character being pre-animated in Moho and imported into CelAction2D? What? Why? Andy of Celaction 2D where are you? Only her trunk was pre animated in Moho. Celaction rigs, certainly in Peppa Pig, rely heavily on “alternative shapes”, a bit like switch layers in...

Re: Moho 12: Has it caught up with CelAction 2D in 2018?

And who says Moho hasn't been used on Peppa Pig? Emily Elephant's trunk was pre-animated in Moho before being loaded in CelAction 2D. Dang, did I just trigger Andy's Google alarm? Ah well, might as well then... CelAction 2D CelAction 2D CelAction 2D CelAction 2D CelAction 2D CelAction 2D CelAction 2...

Re: Particles to SVG

Yes. Is there a way to break down those particles into actual shapes?

Particles to SVG

I just spent a day animating a particle animation, tried to export it to an SVG sequence only to find out it's an empty sequence. Is this a known limitation or is there a way around this?

Re: What would you say is Moho's greatest weakness?

To me, it's the fact that rigging and compositing (including effects and masking) all live in the same layer palette. It's not too bad for simple scenes, but I've worked on plenty of projects where there's often more than 10 or 20 characters in one scene. I can't imagine handling something that comp...

Re: bezier curve option

The only people responding in this thread will be the ones not liking it. A bit of a self selected crowd. So I'd better chime in to let you know I really like the new option. You can make shapes with far fewer points. The old system often created shapes that had ugly bumps in them forcing you to add...

Re: Can Moho 12 export a SVG sequence?

I know how SVGs work. I once wrote a (not very good) SVG parser myself. Illustrator writes layers as groups with tags that tell you they're layers, not simply groups. Even if you don't want to go as far as supporting illustrator specific tags, you should at least have the option to import the topmos...

Re: Can Moho 12 export a SVG sequence?

One more SVG question: is it possible to retain SVG layers on import? At the moment it imports all the artwork from an SVG in one layer. I can't seem to find an option anywhere to import layers. Also, switching off "Auto-scale imported vectors" seems to corrupt imports. Is this a known iss...

Can Moho 12 export a SVG sequence?

Title says it all really. Can Moho export a SVG sequence? Or any other vector based format as a sequence?

Re: My future with Moho

Very sad to hear this. I've drifted away from Moho over the years as other programs dominate here in London. But I still have a soft spot for good ol' Moho. I hope it still has a future. Talking about open source. I wonder how feasible or helpful it would be to piggy back a 2D software on something ...

Re: Mesh Warp smoothing

The smoother example I'm showing works with a low resolution mesh, like Moho. But at render time, that low resolution mesh gets subdivided into more and more polygons until you get the smoother result. In fact, the smoother example I'm showing is from Nuke, and one of the settings in the mesh warp i...
