Do you mean to constrain it in one direction for animation? Normally, you would just press and hold Shift to constrain the movement, but I'm guessing you want to set up a control for this as part of a rig. If you don't mind using two bones, you can use a Constraint for that. 1. Create two Pin bones....

Here's a TVPaint Panel I've been creating and using over the years. We find TVPaint the best and fastest storyboard tool... Wow, that's quite a tool panel, Lukas! Thanks for sharing it. In this past week, I've been drawing storyboards for a couple of mini-shorts and experimenting with new workflows...

You mentioned you last worked on the file months ago, and I'm wondering, were you using an older version for Moho at the time, and were these files stored in a cloud storage service like DropBox? I believe there was a problem with an older version of Moho, where a project file could get corrupted wh...

Thank you, Wes! I was about to use Switch Icons on a project in 14.1, so this is perfect timing!

Your detailed answer is really inspiring! I figured out that I'm still using a shortcut file created on the old Moho version... Hi Damon_lai, This sounds to me like you may have pointed Moho 14.1 to your old content folder (Moho 13.5 or older) when you launched it the first time. I highly recommend...

Yes, it's normal to hide bones that are not meant to be directly keyframed by the animator. For example, I use this technique for special offset bones and Smart Bones that drive a hidden network of other Smart Bones. Or bones animated only with physics, like in the bunny. Tip: I prefer to use Shy Bo...

Each version has its own license key, so you can keep them all installed and active. I currently keep 12.5, 13.5, and 14.1 installed on my computer. I've been working in only 14.1 for several months now, and it's reasonably stable. There are a few bugs, but once you figure out the workarounds, it's ...

1. Open Edit>Edit Keyboard Shortcuts . 2. In the filter, type Toggle and press enter. 3. Click on Toggle Frame 0 . 4. Press the key combo you wish to assign to this command. The shortcut will appear in the right-side box. Moho will warn you if this shortcut is in use. Duplicating shortcuts is fine f...

Layer Order in a Smart Bone Action isn't recommended because the animation will, by design, be locked into whatever you set up for the Smart Bone. This can be a problem when you need to insert a new layer in the stack or wish to manually re-arrange the layer order in the Mainline. But if you don't i...

Most of the time, my animation is long 30 sec to 5 mins for each clips (for one video, about 15 - 10 mins)...However, when the animation is long, I want Moho to play it fast so that I can finish the preview a few time quickly. Is there any way to make the animation play fast? The typical workflow i...

so if i want to reset layer transform to align with mouth so i can stretch in axis to animate in L R face smart bone is it available to do that? Normally, I just hit the appropriate Reset button in the Transform Layer tool's options bar. You can reset Position, Scale, and Angle there, and then appl...

I had to check how I used to manually reset the Stroke Exposure start point before SimplSam created his script. The trick is to delete an edge, and then reconnect the edge. Where you start the re-connection becomes the new start point for the stroke exposure. Like this... https://www.dropbox.com/scl...

Stroke exposure starts with the first point created in the curve. While it's possible to reset the start point in a curve, it's easier to install and use this third-party tool by SimplSam... https://mohoscripts.com/script/ss_curve_exposure Update: See the next post for how to reset the start point m...

Wow! This looks fantastic, Eugene, and I can't wait to try it!

Installing now, and will give feedback later today.
