Re: rigging bones to work with scripted motion

Not sure if this is an optimal solution, but I think it will do for now - until something better comes along. Absolutely perfect solution Sam. Works like a dream sir! I had just successfully found a reasonable workaround too. I renamed the pedal axle bone to remove it from script influence and made...

Re: rigging bones to work with scripted motion

Why not use the old strategy of a smart action controlling the speed of the cycle? Make te cycle then a new smart bone which at its full on position matches the cycle going many times. The slower you move that bone toward the final position in the mainline, the slower the cycle rotates. Super effec...

Re: rigging bones to work with scripted motion

Hmmm... I wonder if you could use this script? https://lostmarble.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=34028 Actually, I have already tried Mult Rush's wonderful target bone script and it does sort of solve the problem in a roundabout way. It generates lots of keyframes that mirror the target bone po...

Re: rigging bones to work with scripted motion

... You can't target a bone that is already parented and the pedal bones are parented to the rotating axle bone controlled by the script. ... I am not aware of any such 'parented' restriction. I have similar feet/pedal rigs (w/ smartbone driven pedal rotation) - and there is no issue getting feet t...

rigging bones to work with scripted motion

I want to make a cyclist character where the character's feet follow the pedal rotation. The idea being, the faster the pedals go round, the faster he pedals. I'm using a simple test file to explore the rigging principles along with this great script by STAN "http://mohoscripts.com/script/sz_ro...

Re: Resizable Custom Toolbar please

Interesting, I’m doing something similar. I have a few different custom content folders with a number tagged on the folder names. I just rename whichever folder I need to make it default and reload the tools/menus with the keyboard shortcut. I agree having a toolbar/menu profile selector would be a ...

Resizable Custom Toolbar please

As I add more and more buttons to the toolbar, it just gets longer vertically with only 4 icons per row. It would be really useful to be able to specify how many icons per row you wish to see, which would make the toolbar grow wider rather than just longer. On bigger screens you have the space. Havi...

Re: Anyone know how this is achieved?

Wow! Thanks guys, I haven't used control bones yet, never thought to look there. :(
I'll go check out Victor's tutorial! Awesome response time! :)

Anyone know how this is achieved?

This video shows a Moho character rig where moving the leg target bones also moves the main character "body" bone so that the character can be "walked around" just by using the leg target bones. The animator doesn't show exactly how this is achieved. Anyone got any clues? Cunning...

Re: v. 13.5-Video or PNG sequence exporting as an all black image

I'm testing out v13.5 on Win10 pro x64 on a dual Intel Xeon system with an NVidia Quadro P4000 card.
I'm able to render out PNG sequences with transparent backgrounds and MP4 video without any apparent issues.
Hope this helps.

I commented out those lines and the script buttons are now working as you described. Thanks Wes! :)

Re: *UPDATED 3/1/19* Layer Shortcuts tool

I'm running into the same Layer Shortcuts script failure issue with Moho 13.5. NOTE: I still have Moho 12.5 installed and the script works OK. After trawling this topic, I have set a separate Custom Content Folder for v13 and also deleted the "Moho Pro13.user.settings" file and set up a cu...

Re: Moho Plans

I use MOHO12.5 and unfortunately also bought the **upgrade** to MOHO13. I'm hoping the LUA script engine will be updated run things properly again. Some of my very useful "MYND" scripts do absolutely nothing in MOHO13 but incredibly, the brilliant and useful "Mix Smartbones" scri...

Re: Win10 and Moho12 versus Moho13

Hi Wes, I've been in contact with the chap behind the really useful Mix Smartbones script and he tells me there is an issue with the LUA API in Moho13 and he has reported this to the developers who promised a fix. He also mentioned that it has been a few months and he's not heard anything yet. Finge...

Re: Scripts fail after Win10 upgrade

I've had some comms with the guys at MYND and they said they will have a look into the MYND_MOVER issue with Moho13. However, as the MYND TOOLS scripts are not a commercial product they don't get the usual level of support, so it may take some weeks. Fingers crossed they will fix the issue sooner ra...
