several bones in the same color

[mikel]

Hello everyone, this is my first entry.
I don't think it's a difficult question.
If I bind points, how do I give several bones the same color?
I'm pretty sure it should work.
Unfortunately I couldn't find anything specific.
thanks.

Each binding bone has its own color. You can bind multiple points to the same bone, but you can't bind a point to more than one bone.

If you just want colored bones, you can set that Color from the Select Bone tool.

It might be better if you try to explain what you are trying to achieve. i.e. Why you want "several bones the same color"?

Ok it is like that Im at 44% in the bloop animation tutorial. In the example of the tutorial suddenly there were bones in the same color, binding points was already descriped.
I didn't know if that has any effect. I was just wondering because i dont think that was explained.
So with the select bone tool its done? Can i find that in the user manual? I have searched but i couldn't find any page.
Still how can i do that with the select bone tool?

This is an old tutorial on Coloring Bones:

There are two ways bones can be colored. One is through Color Labels. With this, you can manually assign a color label to any bone.
This helps to distinguish different parts of the body and also to isolate their keyframes in the timeline, since each color is shown in its own channel.

Now, another way you can see colors on the bones it when using the bind points tool. With this tool, Moho automatically gives a temporary color to each bone and the points bound to them.
The purpose of this is the user can quickly know which points will follow which bones.
Then, if you bind a point to bone, you will see how the point color changes to match the bone color.
The colors here are random and will be gone once you select another tool.

I hope this helps!
