Re: 2.5D head with corrective smartbones (now with tutorial)

Oh, they're not terrible to me! I use Mirror Points and Swap Sides all the time. This combo is super useful when setting up animations for full turns. Modified Magnet is still a favorite too!. I used to use Bake Bones occasionally but I guess we can now do that using the recently added Deep Frames ...

Re: 2.5D head with corrective smartbones (now with tutorial)

I'm still around. I just don't have any of those old files anymore. I haven't had any time to play with Moho since I started my current job. Hey, great to see you're still in the neighborhood! You created many wonderful tools for Moho, and I hope you'll be able to make time for that again. But if y...

Re: Cutout puppets

That's really cool, DK. I've been thinking about this a lot and I think I figured out how the skeleton is made. She is probably using popsicle sticks for the bones and paper clips for joints. Basically, she bends the paperclip so that it's straight, then hot glues it to the cardboard. She then makes...

Re: Cutout puppets

Thanks for posting this. They are amazing!!! Cheers D.K I thought so too. I think this would be a really fun arts and crafts projects for those of you with children/grandchildren.

Cutout puppets

I found this really interesting channel made by a Japanese artist. She makes puppets using cutout style animation and puppeteers them beautifully. I imagine it would be possible to make something like this using Moho to design and test the cutout parts, then transferring to cardboard. U_0rDuKk7J8 Ss...

Re: JSON export for web SVG animation.

Hope you'd not mind my curiosity but what do you use for SVG & JSON in AE? Lottie or something more flexible? Yes, Lottie if you say so :). Like I mentioned I do not have a very clear connection between SVG, JSON, and Lottie, which is what and how it works. JSON ( J ava S cript O bject N otatio...

Re: Best pc build for MOHO

I think that if you use the Moho exporter program it will use all available cores during the render. This can substantially speed up the render process. I made a thread a few years ago where users posted their PC specs and compared render times for a common project. As I recall, it seemed that syste...

Re: Former Smith Micro Employees

That's awesome. I just bought the pro version of clip studio over the weekend. I already prefer it over photoshop. I'm glad the old Moho team is doing well.

That's $250 per year, it's still a subscription service. Blender is going to crush them in time, even big studios are starting to switch over.

Re: Blender New Innovative 2d Animation "GP Tools"

You can assign materials to strokes by going into edit mode and selecting the points that make up the stroke. The easiest way to do this is to select just one point in the stroke then press "L" which will select the entire stroke. Then go to the materials tab and click on a material that y...

I managed to build and rig a character in blender 2.8 using grease pencil and bones. I'm quickly falling in love with the workflow, it's incredibly powerful and ingenious in its design.

Created 2d Fire
Using Blender 2.8 compositing, I was able to create a really nice 2d fire effect. I discovered this technique by following a really helpful video tutorial which can be found Here.

Photopea - Free photoshop

I recently discovered photopea which is a free photoshop clone that runs entirely in the browser. I'm actually quite impressed by everything it can do and was even more surprised to find that it runs well on both the iphone and ipad. I highly suggest giving it a try as it's pretty convenient for edi...
