Re: Cartoon Animator 4 (CT4)

I had a quick look.
From what I could see, it is still hard-wired to 30fps so I uninstalled the trial after a few minutes.

Re: Animate a line along a path

Another vote for Stroke Exposure. But careful, the tool is a little broken: Motion graphs do not work. Also, Follow Path and Stroke Exposure work differently around vertices/bends: Follow Path keeps the velocity constant while Stroke Exposure slows down and speeds up around bends. At least in some i...

Re: NEW TO MOHO 12 HOW TO GET FREE COPY

There is a free trial version. If you like the software you could wait for one of the sales to get it at a discount. If you cannot spend any money you might want to look at open source animation software instead.

Re: Bones simply are NOT working on my character

Maybe you should have used "Reset All Bone Rigging" from the Bone menu. Helps when you want to re-draw your bone rig from scratch. And then go through the layers, select the corresponding bones and choose "Use Selected Bones for Flexi-Binding" from the Bone menu. Hope this helps....

Bone changes in external reference

Hello, everyone, I have a character with a bone rig in one file. I set up my scene in another file and import the character (ie. the bone layer) as a reference. When I make changes to the vector layers of the character in the original file these changes carry through to the scene upon updating. But ...

Re: Moving camera and objects moves in different speeds

Put them on different distances to the camera. The purple one closer, the green ones further away. Away usually means negative values on the Z-axis. A great feature is to hold ALT and SHIFT to move the layer along the Z-axis while maintaining the visual size. It was one of the big revelations during...

Re: Masking works in viewport and preview, not in export.

OK, simplification did the trick: I broke the reference and consolidated the vector layers into one. Now the masking shows up in the rendered video, all good.

Interestingly, when I opened my file this morning the proper masking didn't show up in the viewport either. Only after the changes.

Re: Masking works in viewport and preview, not in export.

Many thanks. Basically, I'm using a duplicate of the truck as a mask, parented to the same bone. The vectors have been expanded in the duplicate to expand the width of the mask. Same Mask settings as you described (Reveal All and Subtract/Invisible.) That's pretty much what I did. Used a reference l...

Masking works in viewport and preview, not in export.

Hello, everyone, as always I'm not sure whether this is a bug or a user error. I got this background line that is masked so it doesn't intersect with the foreground object ('Reveal all' on the group, then 'Subtract' on the mask layer). As you can see it works as it should in the viewport... http://w...

Re: Poor quality mp4 rendering

While I agree with all the answers about a professional workflow (even if you're an amateur) it is also true that the video export from Moho is severely lacking. A few more options would indeed be nice: choice of codec for AVI (eg. UtVideo 422), or bitrate settings for MP4. But until that happens, I...
