Re: How to distinguish between points in Mesh animation?

Just realized there are no points in an image file.

The only way to get points is to make a mesh.

Re: How to distinguish between points in Mesh animation?

Ah! That sounds so much simpler.

I'll give it a try asap. Still love the idea about the mesh. Must be some good uses for it. Just gets a bit complex.

Thanks.

How to distinguish between points in Mesh animation?

Yikes. I've been at this for 2 days. I just started to find out how to use the Mesh option to animate a graphic. I've got a baby who's moving his backside to the music. He's standing with his back to us. So I get the left side to move left and right at the correct rhythm. Then I try to move the righ...

Re: Need advice on which software to use

Yeah.
My computer is 13 years old. It's still serving me well. got 9 hardrives running on it.
But lately more and more plugins and updates aren't working for me.

I'll have to bite the bullet one day.

Thanks.

Yeah. Walk cycles are still something to learn. I like the South Park way, though. (joke)
Haven't seen that comic. I'll check it out. But I bet his hat doesn't have a Brooklyn accent.

Re: Need advice on which software to use

Here are a couple of short episodes of a series called, "Hat." It's about a man having conversations with his hat. Takes place in Paris. I did it a few years ago. Very happy with the way it turned out. I also did the music and voices. Very simple animation but it'll give you an idea of my ...

Re: Need advice on which software to use

one approach I use for audio sync especially if it's a long track / multiple tracks that will entail multiple moho files is: load the audio into moho and create a switch layer with vectors for each planned shot -- the vectors might have a "clapperboard" which shows which shot I want and t...

Re: Need advice on which software to use

Thanks. Means a lot. That was one of my more adventurous animations. I think for the most part it worked. But, of course, the message/music was the main thing there. This next project could take a year to finish. It's from a musical I wrote 25 years ago called, "Meat Street." it was perfor...

Re: Need advice on which software to use

We all start somewhere and tbh, if you're seriously thinking about doing one hour of animation as a first project, the software choice will be the least of your problems :D I really don't mean to discourage you or anything but i think many here would agree, that you are setting yourself up for disa...

Re: Need advice on which software to use

Whew! A lot to absorb here. Part of my problem is I'm not a pro animator. I'm good at drawing and always loved animation, but I'm mainly a composer/producer. But I'm always trying to get to the next level in animation to create the desired effect. This new project of mine is a huge challenge. I'll n...

Re: Need advice on which software to use

Very well done.
Worked well with the music. I'm a schtickler for editing to music. I also have no idea if I spelled "schtickler" correctly.

Thanks for the tips.

Re: Need advice on which software to use

That's some really good looking stuff. Is the woman's face (eyes and half tone skin) done in a raster pgm? Looks great. Love the way you've captured the spirit of the music in the motion on both videos. I like your idea about doing the lip sync, etc. in moho and using it as a guide in Clip Studio. J...

Re: Need advice on which software to use

Thanks. I'll check it out. Moho and Opentoonz allow you to scrub audio. Clip Studio doesn't. I don't see how anyone could animate much without it. It would take a very long time just to do lip syncing. Moho make that easy. Relying on the visual wave form is very tough. Also, unless you're in a workf...

Need advice on which software to use

Hi. I'm going to start working on a project that's about 1 hour long. It's mostly music videos strung together to make a story. I've been going back and forth watching tutorials to see which software would be best for this. I have Moho Pro 12, Clip Studio Paint EX and Opentoonz and Tahoma2D. I'm mai...
