One of my first "tests" - Now she talks

Post by heyvern »

I thought I would post this since I read something here about Moho's lack of "drawing" tools for vector based "painterly" effects.

I did this back when I first purchased Moho. It was derived from Illustrator files. The basic shapes were drawn in Illustrator imported and "cleaned up". She was originally going to be "simplistic" but I then drew the "highlight" shapes in Illustrator and used a soft edge fill in Moho... just to see how it would look.

As far as I can tell from using Moho since my purchase late summer (I am a fairly new user). I can't see any limitations over AI or most vector drawing tools. Considering AI can't animate anyway... there is no comparison... and I hate Flash for animating. I do use it to export AI to Moho.

I have successfully imported AI illustrations... yes... they require some clean up... but at least for me it hasn't been as much a chore as I thought it would be from reading posts here about it.

It certainly is a bazillion times faster than redrawing from scratch.

This is just a really simple test. I was goofing with bones and rigging and dynamics and switches... etc... The hair is a 24 bit PNG with an alpha.

I hope she isn't... too risque for the forum... ;)

Very nice. That's the first animation on here I've seen that DOESN'T look "Moho-ish" on both drawing style and animation

Decided to do some lip synch testing.

I am really digging that Papagayo! I have all the mouth shapes memorized now... piece of cake.... well... relatively.

It isn't a final rendering... her right hand goes "under" her dress for a moment (oops! Layer management!) and her knees are a bit "shaky" from the locked feet...

Fix those before a final render.

Me again.

Still needs some tweaking... arms are kind of "loosey goosey"... and the knee is still twitching...
