drawing in flash, animating in moho

Post by victorialatham »

i have drawn my character in flash, is it posible to get it into moho as a vector image then have moho add the points to it as if it where drawn in moho? im using a mac, i exported it from flash as .png then imported it into moho, this was wrong as moho didnt recognise it as a vector image and it was very distorted. please could someone tell me if what i want to do is possible

Export from flash as an .ai (Illustrator) file. Moho tends to add points to vectror files when you import them, but this is the most painless way.
You can't have everything. Where would you put it?

here's a tip: if you want to bring a drawing from flash into moho and manipulate it as if it were drawn in moho, do your flash drawing using the pencil, not the paintbrush.

Strokes drawn in flash will be imported to Moho as strokes, where you can then play with their width point by point - but a paintbrushed line will be imported as a fill, with way more points, and harder to deal with.
