Moho Forum

hello

is there any way do that?

Yeah, check out my animated hide edge tool for a way to do it.

No, that's something I've been asking for forever.

Vitruvian Bones addressed many of the reasons I want this feature (and more!)...but not all all them.

Lukas has an interesting take: his script hides groups of bones based on bone color:

Unfortunately, I tend use bone color for a lot of other things. (Which reminds me, we need a bone groups system too, for selection, hiding, etc. Maybe just a more robust bones managing system?)

@Wes, oh, that's interesting. You're using a layer script to hold the hiding data aren't you? It's been a while since I used Animateable Hide Edges, but I recall it was something like that. (Actually, glad you mentioned it...I was planning to use this tool on my next project, but I don't think I've tested it with 13.5.2 yet.)

thanks friends.

I think it would be much better than vitruvian bones if moho added this feature.


thanks wes. I will check that.

I use code in a layerscript to hide bones that aren't relevant to what's going on ... there's not much to it as it's specific to the job but (e.g.) ..

I'm using a switch layer to store the keyframes and a layer script to hide the edges according to those keys. Haven't used it in forever, so be sure to let me know if it give 13.5.2 any problems.

Will do! I'm taking a rare and much needed vacation break this week and, apart from Thanksgiving, I've planned to only work personal stuff. (Hopefully, my family will allow me this 'selfish' need.)

Code: Select all

	local xRotBone = skel:BoneByName(xRotBoneName)
	local yRotBone = skel:BoneByName(yRotBoneName)
	if moho.frame == 0 then
		xRotBone.fHidden = false
		yRotBone.fHidden = false
	else
		xRotBone.fHidden = true
		yRotBone.fHidden = true
	end

I didn't use layer script until now. thanks.
i think virtual bones script is good start point for create custom skeleton with this feature(hide bones.) because i can combine it with smart bones.

Hiding only the bone representation on the workview or hiding the associated vector/image layers with them? Sorry I can't help with that, just want to understand the topic.

I assume just hiding the bone, not trying to duplicate v-bones.
