Yes, that was Victor's idea, a great 'unofficial' technique!

Here's the original link describing it with a video example:

Ugh! Thanks...I've been mixing that up lately.

Re: Smooth Joint vs Layer Binding, In my first DWATV demo reel , there are animations from All Hail King Julien featuring Thighsander Plunderhorse and Norge Grindlefist. From what recall, I used Smooth Joint on Thighsander's elbows. The hands and feet are in Switch Layers that have Layer Binding to ...

When using Smooth Bone joints for legs, it cancels out the target bone setting for feet. Can you post an example? I don't think I've seen or heard about this behavior with Smooth Joint. Also, which version of Moho are you using? (I'm using Moho 12.4.) I saw the layer trick with multiple smooth join...

Sure, it should work. In ASP 11, imported images are bound with Flexi-bind by default. Note that an image layer is only be affected if the layer is a child layer of a Bone layer, so make sure the images are actually inside the Bone layer and not just sitting under the Bone layer. Also, your bones ne...

That's really weird. That said, I would first update to 12.4 (or 12.5 on Mac.) From what I recall, 12.0 was pretty buggy, and 12.4+ is very solid and stable.

Yeah, I say hang in there too. I use a number of animation programs at home and at work, but Moho 12.4 is still my preferred tool for 2D puppet animation, and I'm feeling confident that the upcoming 13.5 will get Moho back on track to a brighter future.

I tend to not include too much stuff within the file, maybe because of my bad experience with loading time in the past (all software)...Now the file's enormously large and doesn't open anymore!" So it also needs a button "Un-Embed image files", with a dialogue asking for a folder (or...

I use Ae for most of my Moho compositing at work, so I wouldn't mind seeing this. That said, there are dozens of other features and improvements I need more in Moho. (The devs know what they are so I won't bother listing here.) But it they decide to pursue this, I'd like it to be able to import the ...

I'd like to note that the relative paths are not truly relative. Paths are only relative as long as a file is in the same folder or sub-folder of the moho file... Thanks for the additional input, Lukas! I settled for 'it's still kind of messy' in my post because, TBH, I'm not always sure why it bre...

Sorry, I just remembered that Moho switched to relative paths a while ago so it's not quite as bad as described, but it's still kind of messy and easy to break compared to other programs where I can assign the current content directory. BTW, I manage potential drive letter conflicts using a handy ut...

I agree that Moho's content directory management is messy and easy to break. Most animation programs I work with allow me to assign a specific directory for a given production, which works much better. This way, even if when the entire production is move to a completely different drive, so long as t...

That seems really odd. Was that with the final 12.5.1 installer from here?:

This might not make a difference, but it should eliminate some variables.

I will try to assign more shortcuts to use keyboard instead menus. If you can't get the flickering resolved, avoiding the menus should be a workable solution. II personally don't use the menus very much. Instead, I use some keyboard shortcuts, but I also use my MQC button panel a lot. MQC has butto...
