Re: Procreate to Moho best practices

In the meantime I've decided it's just not going to happen, so I'm taking her painstakingly layered PSDs, flattening them to BMPs and importing those, these hand drawing vector layers. What this requires is for me to get good at drawing vector shapes quickly. For those of us who have recently purcha...

Re: Eyedropper problem

Aha! Yes, dead on! I changed the scaling back to 100% and now it's all working fine. My old eyes are suffering for it, but at least I know what the problem was. Thanks!

Re: Procreate to Moho best practices

Oh I see. Well, actually I anticipated this problem before I asked her to do this. I told her to keep it as simple as possible, no rendering layers, no masks, nothing like that. I figured what you told me might be the case and didn't want to risk anything. I have since double checked with her and sh...

Eyedropper problem

All of a sudden, the eyedropper when selected from the Style window (either eyedropper) does not reflect what is being hovered over. I can see the colors change to essentially the correct colors, but not in the right place. This makes it really hard to select a color from within the current project ...

Re: Procreate to Moho best practices

Nothing works. I've tried it all. Spent the whole day on it and really discouraged. I made a point to ask the artist to keep it simple, keep everything in layers and use mono-colored blocks for everything. She obliged, and even at that I STILL can't get the f***ing thing into Moho. Making unique nam...

Re: Smart Bone Dial Weirdness

Oh that's a nice trick, thanks! OK, HERE is the bone jumping bug demonstrated. Everything I mentioned above can be seen here: Bone jumping and rotating Change to number of frames in Action (from 100 to 20) Both Actions move the bone the same direction (Note: At one point I move the bone back to its ...

Re: Procreate to Moho best practices

OK, I've been messing with this all morning. Much frustration. First I exported a layered PSD from Procreate and imported into Moho. Many of the layers didn't import. Different layers failed every time though. Opened the PSD in Photoshop and saved it out again. When importing this time I had better ...

Re: Procreate to Moho best practices

Thank you. That's the easy part. I was also wondering about whether people trace these images to get vectors or what, but I've got it working sort of now. Now the problem is that some layers just don't want to import. I get Invalid Photoshop layer or something for a small percentage of the layers be...

Procreate to Moho best practices

I have an artist on hand willing to make a character for me which I can then rig up. She uses Procreate. What is the best way for me to take her Procreate file and import it into Moho? I know Procreate can't do vectors, but it can do layers, and I can use Trace Image as long as I instruct her to dra...

Re: Smart Bone Dial Weirdness

Thanks, it wasn't any of those things. I can reliably reproduce it, following the exact steps every time. The first time it goes crazy, I delete the bone, and the second time (usually) it works ok. But there are other strange things going on here, so maybe someone can look at it. Try out the bones &...

Smart Bone Dial Weirdness

When I create a bone, then I make it a Smart Bone Dial, I'm taken to the first Smart Bone Action. Then often (usually), as soon as I try to move to a point in the action's timeline, my bone jumps to some random place on the screen and rotates some random amount. I'll simply drag it back where it was...

Block shape issues

I am making a character whose head is a blocky letter W. I created the entire head shape by creating shapes that share sides. Then I created a group for the front and back of the head. The plan is to use bones to adjust the perspective at which you are looking at the head (from above, below, left ri...

Re: Another head turn question

Huh, no that isn't a problem for me at all. On mine I have to apply some pressure to get it to come out. I am used to the stylus, but I only use it for drawing and things like that, rarely do I use it in Moho, only occasionally for drawing vector shapes. Trying to click on things with the stylus wil...

Re: 2D Mesh empty regions

OK, SO helpful! It didn't occur to me to put the warp layer underneath the image. Duhh....

I also find that Smart Warp Layers are the most efficient, but I wanted to try this way because SWLs aren't perfect.

Thanks! Moving on........!
