Thanks for a very informative answer and the link to 2Drimlight.

Always a lot to learn !

So I would need to import into AE my character on their own layer and add whatever effect I need ?
Do this for every character or object ?

I will try this out.
Thanks.

Hello,
Just wondering... I added a shadow to an image.
It looks like I need to render to see the result.
Is there any way of seing this without rendering?

A lot easier to work , not only with shadows, and see what we are doing.

Thank you.

Line width tool did it.
Thank you.
I did try it before and it didn't work.
I added a point then deleted another and it worked.

Hi,
I'm trying to add two pointed ends on a shape.
It won't work with the Curvature tool.

Help is appreciated.
I will start from scratch and see where that leads me following your comments.

And yes, AE not having groups is not very practical. I always find making pre-comps not a good solution.
I color code my sections but it is a workaround.

Thanks for all the info.
I will test again with a new image.

Cheers,

I am trying to scale down a vector image built in Moho and have the lines scale in proportion. I toggled the Scaled compensation button in the vector layer options. Lines are still getting big as I scale down. I am new to Moho but have worked with AE and Motion. Software doesn't seem very intuitive ...

UPDATE: That doesn't work with a PNG image.

Stretching with the layer so it also skews.
I added a bone to the PNG. I can stretch the bone but the linked image doesn't change.

This is surely my lack of knowledge.

I have a PNG line. Simple straight line of a certain width.
I simply want to make it longer but without changing width.
At the moment it will change width as I stretch it out or in.

Any way of doing this?

Thank you.
I will check these possibilities.

Ok. Thanks.
So importing images to animate is not great if they distort.

I am missing something. How would you import and use images for animation?
Animating hands, arms and legs without bending?
Do you need to build inside Moho!

Hello,
I am importing PNG images and adding bones.
I can't seem to be able to change the strenght.
These are lines and I want them to remain rigid and not bend at all.

Is this possible?

Thank you.

Thanks.
That is exactly what I am doing.
I quit Moho and opened it.
It now works.
