This pops up since 2008, and the best answer is: build the graphic in Moho, directly, because then it's much better suited for animation. If it's a prop element which doesn't move or bend it's recommended to render it as image. Moho and AI use different concepts for describing vectors, so there's al...

It's impossible to keep track with all the new developments in the field. Here's something I just stumbled over https://wonderdynamics.com/. It replaces a human in a video with a CGI character of your choice. Haven't tried, don't need (hopefully never).

Funny that we basically still use the same tricks like in 1970's light organs.

Aside from the walk cycle which seems a bit off, everything is simple but effective. I like the style, especially the photograph BGs (a bit like the "Eleanor Rigby" sequence in Yellow Submarine). (Do you know L'homme au chapeau mou (1979–1982) by Tartempion ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

None of the settings inside the particle layer is animateable, unfortunately. But you could do something with the particle layer itself: scale and translate. And these movements could be controlled by a bone wiggle. The rhythm in your example was achieved in post, I think: just render a longer clip ...

The one most important factor, to me, is storyboarding. Without a decent storyboard you can't plan. You need to break down everything and then analyze what you're going to do: in which scenes will I use the same view of that character, what else am I going to re-use, do I really need that many BGs, ...

Now that's a nice style! And the animation is quite perfect. I only have 2 small quibbles: in the middle, when he's drinking, you're crossing the line , which is forbidden and will be heavily fined. You could just mirror those scenes to make it consistent again. And when working with parallax one sh...

1 hr long, that's a big project already. Of course you will split it up in sequences (songs) and these into scenes, otherwise you'll get lost while trying to navigate. You need good planning as well as a good storyboard. And you need a video editor to splice everything together, as well as make adju...

I see more than a dozen shots which could've been done in Moho, but they still suffer from the same disease: it's still Star Wars ... 8)

There's an easier way:
- create the hole/holes in the character as one extra layer, make it a mask
- set the top folder's masking to "hide all"

- character folder "hide all"
- - other dimension BG "mask this layer"
- - character "don't mask this layer"
- - mask

http://www.slowtiger.de/examples/eggman_s1.moho - my attempt. You see that I have just the bare minimum of keys: contact, passing, and that very important "put that foot down" after contact. All keys are "normal", nothing additive or so - fancy new stuff, we did animation withut...

Select point, cmd-p.

You could put your in-place walking character inside a group folder and slide this with linear interpolation, then animate the walk.

This is great info! Shows again what you can achieve with Moho, but you'll need a lot of preparation and discipline. I confess that I'm lazy, and I've never had the necessity of rendering several passes of anything (other than 2 versions of a particle effect when something else had to be inside of i...

Short answer: no, not like that.

Longer answer: whatever you put on separate layers can be rendered separately. Use Layer Comps for this.
