*NEW* Import layer comps script
Posting this before I forget to.

With this script you can either import characters (or other Moho objects), with all the layer comps that include the imported layers, or import just the comps for all selected layers.

Re: *NEW* Import layer comps script
Hey, Wes. Do you still have this script?
I need to export several scenes and I need to create dozens of layer comps for each one, but these scenes are all using the same layers, actually. If your script can import layer comps from one file to another one with the same layers, it would save us a lot of time!
Thanks!

Re: *NEW* Import layer comps script
Hi Victor,
I'm sure Wes will address this soon but for now I sent you a copy of the Menu script.
It's very handy if you create many layer comps for compositing that you need to use over and over again.
With the way Moho's Layer Comps works now, it gets tedious to have to keep recreating layer comps any time a character or other setup is imported to a new project and needs to be rendered. Wes' script eliminates the problem.
IMO, this feature needs to be native in Moho. I would also like to see export/import options in the Layer Comps window, as well as options for generating special passes (like solid masks, strokes only, fills only, etc.,) that can be used for lighting and fx work in a compositing program. Right now I need to create these passes manually in Moho by referencing rigs and building special alternative artwork layers for them...this is very time consuming and it seems to me that Moho should be able to do this internally and automatically. (The Kung Fu Panda footage on my last reel is a good example of this process.)
Anyway, I hope this is what you needed.

Re: *NEW* Import layer comps script
Thanks, Dennis! I will take a look there too.
I have been thinking a lot about Layer Comps lately (we have to separate so many things in this movie! )

Glad to hear it, Victor. Always nice to know when some forgotten script has been useful.

Re: *NEW* Import layer comps script
Don't get me wrong, I assume there are people still using many of them...and I appreciate when you and others suggest them. Just don't know when they're getting new users until someone reminds me of a broken link or asks about or mentions one. But I don't get disheartened if one seems forgotten. Just nice to know one of the orphans found a new home.
