How to : rig rubber hose arms

Hey Gang! When I opened up Moho this morning, the demo that launched was a robot that had very interesting rubber hose arms [see below]. You should have it too in your default characters too if you want to analyze the file further. When you look at the rig though, it uses two bones yet has the rubbe...

Re: Locked Layer Q

Thanks so much for the tips Daxel and DR! That was the exact issue! It was offset and I all I needed to do was move it over one frame as you suggested. And now it all works as it should. Question: Why did this happen in the first place? Was there something I likely did to cause this?? See below: htt...

Re: Locked Layer Q

Are you on frame 0? I'm guessing you are because I see the bold red highlight in the bottom edge. Yes, I am on fr. 0[ /b] The Smart Bone situation I described wouldn't affect frame 0, so I'm not sure why the layer would be locked. Oh really? Hmm... Here's another thought: could the layer be offset i...

Re: Locked Layer Q

Thanks DR! Smartbones would be the culprit then as they are applied. Thanks a bunch for responding so quickly!

Could a Smartmesh be used to shift the eye over? (knowing that Smartbones are applied)

Locked Layer Q

Hey Gang! I am trying to move a layer [Eyes] but it is locked. Same goes for the Group. The bounding box around it is pink which likely is the color that says it is locked. How can I unlock this layer so I can transform the layer to a new position?? [See below] https://i.ibb.co/Sc3JHRT/Moho-Rig-Issu...

Re: Rig/Actions Question

Bone Naming Issues: that was it! Thanks for that tip @Daxel! I didn't realize this was the difference between a Smartbone vs SmartAction.
Thanks so much for this tip!

I am sure one of your suggestions will provide a solution. I think the Frame 1 keyframe suggestion could be the issue. Thanks so much for y...

Rig/Actions Question

Hey Gang! I am rigging a character and I have an issue with rig and/or actions that I could use some input on. Image 1: See below: As you'll see below, on #1 there was an issue where a hole would show up when I rotated the "spine" of the character. https://i.ibb.co/RPRMR7H/Moho-Rig-Issue-0...

Can you shortcut to a Switch Layer??

My Hand Switch layer is buried in the Character's Rig [Layer] hierarchy - and currently I am digging through the layers to access it which is a slow process. Does anyone have any timesaving tips on how to create a shortcut to a Switch Layer? Is making it into a Smartbone the only option? Since I pla...

Re: Model Rigging Q: Best Practice for character turnarounds

Thank you DR! Once again, your advice is super helpful!! To answer your notes: If transitioning smoothly between views isn't a priority, : no, its not a priority at all. I plan to transition during faster moves or on cuts. The main reason I thought each head needed to be separate was because each an...

Model Rigging Q: Best Practice for character turnarounds

Hey Gang! I am in the process of rigging a new character and I was wondering the best way to set up a rig. Specifically- how do you swap the 1. head Front view to the 2. Head 3/4 view ? BONUS: If there is a tutorial or video that already outlines this- please share! :D PS. I don't want to build a 36...
