Re: God Point Tool

Select and transform points gotta be unified properly, no doubt about it. I think Moho suffers a bit from an overabundance of redundant tools in its palette that leads to far more clicking around than necessary. Definitely something to keep in mind if there‘s a UI revamp one day because i think you ...

Re: Style Selection Problem!

I do agree the styles window can definitely be improved usability wise someday. For being such an intuitive software, the the styles thing is one of the few areas that really trips people up a lot. The main problems as i see it are 1) that it‘s confusing to realize you‘re now editing a style vs appl...

Re: TOON BOOM getting sold to a PRIVATE EQUITY FIRM?!?!

Adobe Animate is dead in the water and i wouldn't be surprised if Adobe discontinues it completely in the next five years. It's the only app that hasn't been ported to Apple Silicon of the COMPLETE Adobe Lineup ( https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/apple-silicon-m1-chip.html ) and i think th...

Re: TOON BOOM getting sold to a PRIVATE EQUITY FIRM?!?!

Yea full disclosure: my company pays for my Harmony and SBP licenses :lol: I dunno what will happen with pricing, i guess we'll see... I guess it's the usual thing that happens when the underdog becomes the industry standard. But the kid in the bedroom doing animation in his spare time today may be ...

Re: TOON BOOM getting sold to a PRIVATE EQUITY FIRM?!?!

Neither of both. Talked to some Toon Boom employees i know personally on a public Discord so it's nothing secret but Corus has been losing money for quite a while now (they own Nelvana amongst other things) but Toon Boom is doing fine. Since they are in the red, they wanted to sell some things off t...

Re: Moho Pro 13.5 FBF Test + Thoughts

Great work!

I agree with the others, it's twice as impressive knowing the state of freehand tools in Moho.

I think the crown jewel of vector brush tools is Toon Boom, so it's always a good benchmark to have in this regard.

Looking forward to what new Mohos bring.

Re: Moho 14. And The Rise Of AI.

It‘s always funny how AI bros tag me and think i‘m a scared, white bearded purist or something yet they lose their nerves when somebody suggests that their 12 season series for Cartoon Network that they could generate with a mouse click probably won‘t happen 😆 And the funny thing is it‘s mostly peop...

Re: Moho 14. And The Rise Of AI.

Harmony has a system like that but still needs a normal map to function properly (otherwise you could also just the ol' "inner shadow" layer style trick).

Best way to get good results: put in the **** work.

Re: Moho 14. And The Rise Of AI.

Okay here's a common misconception about Klaus (i'm not gonna comment on the whole AI can of worms): There was nothing really automatic about Klaus' lighting engine. There was a human that used a custom made tool to add light and shadows via vector shapes in different colors and blending modes. The ...

Re: Move Points In All Selected Layers

I think this is just something that should come with Moho from the get go. As much as i love the scripting community in this Forum, the answer for basic functionality (not even features) shouldn't always be "there's a script for that". Yes, we old-timers know that but every newcomer won't ...

Re: Save Tracing Image with Project

I respectfully disagree, i still see quite some advantages of the tracing image feature: - It shows below AND on top of my artwork, so i always see what i'm actually tracing - I can easily turn it on and off by pressing CMD+U which prevents me from my favorite activity: shoving through Moho's 10'000...

Re: Do not use a nested layer structure for the mask layer.

Yup i second this. That's one huge advantage of a node based workflow or how AE is doing it. It doesn't really matter where the layer is, as long as you define it as a mask to another layer it's fine. All the unnecessary groups i end up with just to mask some things off... You could just do it as a ...

Re: Do you think I should upgrade to the new macbook pro M2?

I wouldn't overthink it too much. All these benchmarks and tests online rarely translate to real world application. Just get whatever you can afford and start animating, it all works well and the Apple Silicon stuff is really solid.

Re: Do you think I should upgrade to the new macbook pro M2?

I have a company issued M1 Pro Macbook and Moho works like a charm. No worries, you should be fine.
