how to do bring in lensflare,spotlights etc into moho and for them to be fully animatable:
1 open a new file in photoshop or similar
2 next fill the layer/document in black
3 go to filter,choose filter render then either lensflare or lighting effects(you can even choose clouds or noise,add noise as long as its done on a black background)
4 save file as jpeg
5 then open Moho,go to file,import image and select your jpeg
6 click on its layer and change the layer blending mode to SCREEN
7 when you render your moho file the black is no longer visible and you can scale,rotate,blur,translate,shear etc the lighting effects you have chosen...

Very very useful, I was trying to make this effect with .png files and normal blending mode but didn't work...Thanks!

you also can get an interesting effect if you then duplicate the jpeg/image layer and change its blending mode to multiply it allows to retain the black but allows transparency to see objects underneath(great for night time scenes!!!)these layers can also be put into bone layers and have bones added to them....
