Re: seeing points while rigging

I place joint targets in my rig so I know where to connect the bones. Like so... https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/65qmutthhw17gxbo1i0ew/JointTargetA.jpg?rlkey=sgvony1lwuvfx0qxov33tvio4&raw=1 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5ttw6g6b5kcfpfkym9z43/JointTargetB.jpg?rlkey=u5efmbshw90az3y7gpctk9z0i&...

seeing points while rigging

When I pass from a normal layer to the bone layer, I stop seeing its points. This makes it difficult to place the bones exactly where I want to, for example at crucial intersections (like an elbow, in cases where an arm is on one layer). Is it possible to continue seeing the points on a layer while ...

Re: Brightness and color adjustments?

Moho is not made for that, such corrections usually would be done later in compositing/video editing. But for some very basic corrections you can do this: - put layer in group and activate masking - create layer with black shape - make your darkended layer the mask, set the black layer to multiply ...

Brightness and color adjustments?

To my surprise I find (or am not capable of finding) there is no way to adjust brightness or color adjustments of a layer in Moho. I was needing to simply lower the brightness of a background and find no direct or workaround way to do this. I find this bizarre, especially since the layer settings of...

Re: Pasting over last keyframe of cycle without losing the cycle

Here's what I do: Let's say I've got a cycle 1-2-3-4-5-6. I let it run until I need to make it stop, at that point I create keys and the cycle stops. If I want to go into the cycle again, I just copy that 1-2-3-4-5-6 to where I need it. Most times my stop and start position is somewhere inside the ...

Pasting over last keyframe of cycle without losing the cycle

When I animate a cycle I often edit its start and end keyframes (classic example: the first pose in a walk, and the last, cycling back to frame 2). I usually tweak the pose on frame 1 of the cycle until I have what I like, then copy that pose and paste it on the last frame of the cycle. But pasting ...

Re: Applying Effects or bushes to multiple layers

That's something which should best be decided in the design stage, before you build the character in Moho. Next best thing: define a style for the outline and use it on all shapes the character consists of when you build it . This way you later can change the appearance of the outline, try differen...

Applying Effects or brushes to multiple layers

I have a character, all parts separated in layers and rigged. Since the style is very linear, sort of hand-drawn like, I'd like to add an effect (wet ink, or rough ink), or maybe a brush. As far as I can tell I can only do this by selecting the shapes (Q) on each layer and applying the effect layer ...

Re: locking frame 0

you can enable drawing tools only on frame 0 : edit / preferences / tools does that achieve what you want? I actually have that already enabled, and it does help when actually drawing. But I still find myself from time to time (enough to notice it) unwillingly editing layers and points beyond frame...

locking frame 0

is there a way to lock the playhead on frame 0 when we don't need to animate? During the planning, sketching, drawing, coloring, rigging phases I find one of the most frequent nuisances is realising that I've inadvertently pressed play and finding I've been moving layers, or adding keyframes. Most o...

Re: can't get rid of Image Texture handles (on strokes)

This happens even with one shape selected. The Effect 1 (for fills) says there's an image texture somewhere but is greyed out so I can't tell it to be "plain" But now the panel is displaying the actual shape properties and we can see that you are not doing anything wrong, something is cle...
