Moho Forum

hello...

i wanna buy moho, and also beta test moho 5, i was wondering that if the code for the moho beta will work for the final version? or should i just wait till its officially released?

thanks

If you buy a copy now, your registration code will be valid for both version 4 and version 5 (both beta and final).

alright thanks...

another thing, it says on your webpage you dont offer education discounts for students...is this still valid? or will it change in the future?

another question i forgot to ask, i downloaded the demo of version 4.6.1, and the bone animation thing is really cool...
since i read in other threads that 3d objects can now be imported, i was wondering if you could use bone structure in 3d objects too?

moho is pretty cheap, i doubt you could get an educational price for any other software anywheren ear as cheap as moho =P

Bones can be applied to a 3D layer, in a similar manner to applying them to an image layer.

Keep in mind that although the objects may be 3D, the bone structure is 2D only. If you want a 3D program with 3D bones, you're going to have to use a 3D program with 3D bones, of which there are plenty available and competing hard for market share.

Moho's unique implementation of 2D is what makes it valuable and easy to use - the 3D objects, layers, particles, depth of field, etc, are cool extras, but it's not (at least not yet ) a general 3D animation program.

Personally, I think that's currently an advantage rather than a limitation.

Okay, I haven't done my homework on this but...

Could you wrap a bone layer in a group folder and rotate it a bit to get manipulation in 3d?

Irresponsible of me not to just try it before posting, but not at my Moho machine.

Okay, I gave it a spin. You can rotate layer Y to turn bones (and the "child" 3d objects) for a 3d effect. If you wanted, you could cannily position the axis points of your bone/3d layers to achieve the desired effect.

Moho does a neat job of adding an outline only around the outside of the combined 3d objects, not at the edge of the individual bone/3dobject layers, reinforcing the impression that they are one greater object. Very cool.

I agree 100% with Myles. The tradeoff for working in that 3rd dimension is an increase in complexity that is, in my experience, not worth it. Long live 2d.

Kind regards,
