Hi.
I would like to report four bugs which prevented me from enjoying the new tools of Moho 14.
First of all on Liquid Shapes, which when you cut a shape in two with a line, it will tend to create an unwanted triangle from the moment you activate the add shape option above of a normal form.
In addition, the program will recreate all the lines that we have previously hidden as soon as we add a shape.
Then the Curver tool.
I'm not a fan of the bezier tool to curve my shapes (because I can't put precise numerical coordinates on the settings that define my curve), so I use the classic curvature tool.
The problem is that this tool does not work on the Curver from the moment you are on the timeline.
The last bug I encountered is a graphic bug.
I wanted to get around one of the problems described above by using a classic patch on my test file, but it tends to disappear from time to time.
Even if it doesn't affect my animation during rendering, it's still quite frustrating.

Re: Four bugs in the new Moho 14 tools.
This is a problem with how the vector curves are constructed. It seems that liquid shapes are considered as being made of a contiguous vector curve (segments made in order). So the division line in your circle is being interpreted as a stroke line, instead of part of the half-circle shape.Lychee wrote: ↑Mon Sep 25, 2023 9:44 am Hi.

For a four-point circle, it only works correctly for the half that the dividing line is connected to in order of creation. So if you draw the circle manually, working clockwise or counter-clockwise will determine which half works correctly.
You can fix this by enabling locked beziers, adding points on the lower half circle very close to the center line, alt+deleting those small connections, recreating the top half-circle shape, welding the lower back to it, and recreating the lower half-circle shape. Or, if feasible, just vertically flip the shape and recolor the two half-circles.
I've reported this issue.
That is because liquid shapes are created on-the-fly. They also do not retain brushes.In addition, the program will recreate all the lines that we have previously hidden as soon as we add a shape.
To do either, you have to merge the shapes and lose the active liquid blending.
That seems to only be a limitation for a "compressible curver." If you make it a regular curver, in the vector layer settings, you can animate the point curvature.Then the Curver tool.

May be a technical limitation on how curvers work.

Re: Four bugs in the new Moho 14 tools.
Pretty much as Wes said - this did work OK for me when the top half is lowest in order, and the big circle is highest, and big circle merges with the bottom half.
In the image below, the half/half circle has then been flipped vertically.

Re: Four bugs in the new Moho 14 tools.
My example above was there just to illustrate the problem.
Thank's, but I admit that I did not understand your explanations, certainly due to the fact that I am not very comfortable with English, and that the translators do not always do their job well.
Still, it's a bug for me and I'm not enthusiastic about having to do "gymnastics" to achieve what I want.
I hope that the developers will look into this in the near future, so I will finally appreciate Moho 14 for what it is worth.
