Re: Term for voice acting to create video reference

LOL

I know that was a joke, but I like how you constructed a gerund from bofur.

"Bofuring" is now an official word. Somebody notify Webster.

Re: Term for voice acting to create video reference

Wow, I get to name a thing? I think I'll call it "Body and Facial Reference": abbreviated BFR . Pronounce it Bofur -- like the dwarf from LotR. Here are the rules of grammar I just invented: The process itself is called Bofur. As in: "He does both voice-over and Bofur." The video...

Term for voice acting to create video reference

Is there a term for contracting a voice actor to do a reading, but not for their vocal performance, but for the video reference of their body and facial expressions while performing so the video can be used as a reference when animating?

Re: changing layer origin affecting position

I'm glad you found a solution. Whenever I'm trying to remember a Moho process that I forgot how to do, I sometimes make mistakes while searching for the correct result. Sometimes those mistakes create strange behaviors that make no sense to me. Whenever that happens, I find it's often easier (and qu...

Re: Identifying which style colors a shape

STYLE INFO Thanks for writing that. You answered my nebulous question in a way that answered my question and my follow-up questions. I feel like a video game character that just added another skill point in Moho. 8) Your post made me search "UX." That's a nifty term. ("User Experienc...

Re: moho pro 'could not open file'?

No, anywhere is fine. But wherever you save the file, that's where Moho looks for it next time.

Instead of using File > Open Recent, try navigating to the file and double-click it to open it.

Did you save the file to a usb-drive and not plug it in?

Re: changing layer origin affecting position

I've seen a lot of problems, but never that. :shock: This is how I would proceed. First, delete the old, bad eye. Something is seriously wrong with it. Then create a new group layer called R Eye. Add however many empty vector layers you'll need. Go into the "good" eye folder and copy the p...

Re: Bones not working on layer 1

Did you accidentally set your animation to begin playing on frame 2? Weird. Maybe start a new project file, draw a rectangle, add a root bone and a bone in a bone layer, bind the rectangle layer to the bone and test again. It'll only a minute to set-up, but sometimes reducing a Moho problem to it's ...

Re: Identifying which style colors a shape

Yeh, I have been slowly improving my style-naming conventions. But I don't like it. I like short names like "hair," not descriptive names like "Stewart's hair" and "Stewart's belt buckle." Hmm. I have an idea for a brand new feature . . . Brand New Style Feature: Activa...

Re: No "Select All" keyboard shortcut for Select Shapes tool?

. . .This post is actually just me wondering why the universal "select all" keyboard shortcut, which works in two different ways with the Points tool and the Bones tool doesn't do the same trick with the Select Shapes tool. You know, that's a good question. I can't imagine why it would be...

Re: No "Select All" keyboard shortcut for Select Shapes tool?

I remember back when I had to install a script to select all the shapes on a layer, so the Select All button still feels super convenient to me. Generally, if I suspect that I may need to select 100 green leafs on a layer, for example, I will create a Style and call it "leaf" and use it wh...

Re: Identifying which style colors a shape

GASP! I had been looking at the top style dropdown - the one by the tab. Because of your question, I clicked the Style 1 dropdown and found the missing checkmark. I'm unaware of the logic in omitting the checkmark from the top style dropdown, but I'm happy to have found it. Thanks. EDIT: I just dis...

Re: Identifying which style colors a shape

I have around 30 styles right now in the project I'm working on. I click the shape on the face, selecting the shape. The style is called "skin." It says so right there , in the style window. I activate the menu listing all the styles. I see the name "skin." No checkmark. What's g...
