Ill tell you what I did when I had a similar thing to do. I wanted to show an egg crack in half and then have the two halfs separate. First I created a layer with an egg shape in it Call it layer A. Then I copied it to a new layer, call it layer B. In that layer I drew added a crack across the egg s...

Looking into it...

Thanks I know you have a lot to do, thanks for looking into it.
Moho is a great program for making animations, I really appreciate it.

Stephen

I'm sorry, I thought I'd get at least some comment on this.
Having the preview generation abort because you click to another window makes it pretty useless for a complex animation. It means I have to sit and do nothing while the preview is getting generated, what a time sink.

Stephen

I have an animation with a lot of animated layer transparency changes. When I export the animation it works fine, but if I use the F5 Preview, instead of my layers fading in and out they just cut hard in and out.

Is this a bug or a feature?

Stephen

The bug we fixed in 5.1 was a little different. The problem was if you have an animation whose starting frame is set to something other than 1, no audio was exported. That was fixed. For example, if your starting frame is 12 (as set in the Project Settings dialog), Moho will export the soundtrack t...

I'm using Moho 5.1 on Mac OSX 10.3 I press F5 to generate a preview. My animation is complicated so it will take quite a while to generate the preview, so I decide to read my mail. As soon as I click in the mail window and Moho is no longer the active window, the preview generation stops. Sometimes ...

I tried to get Moho to just render segments of the animation (say frames 74 - 107) and it would do it, but there was no sound in the QuickTime movie. (Is there something I am not turning on or setting up correctly to get the sound in the rendering of a clip? Or is this just not technically possible...

Very very good. I like it!

Stephen

I have never done what you are doing, but I did have some trouble with my butterfly animation, to get the wings to render in the right order. So does this work? : put all the flower layers into a group layer Go to the group layer properties and select the Depth Sort tab. There you can check "so...

Very cute

Stephen

How about this:

Note that I had to move the wand to the left to make room for Productions on the screen, but you would not have to.

Stephen

Excellent!
I never saw the Ring, or Ring 2, but yes your animation is quite wierd. I liked it a lot. Pretty frightening, and I liked the use of black and white and grainyness (unless that was a compression artifact ) The visual effect in the opening scene with the tree was great.

Stephen

You should be able to select the head bone and then see all the key frames in the "selected bone ..." channels Stephen: that technique works like a charm, except for the 1st frame of my action. I've cleared all the head bone keyframes from the action, but in the first frame, it still snap...

Jack: thanks for the kind comments. I had intended to go back through the cartoon, adding various facial expressions, etc, but after several months working on it, I became impatient to get it finished. Considering the comments in this forum, I think I will spend another week on the cartoon, doing j...

I have not used your script yet, but I am not sure what it does.
Does it load all the images into separate layers at frame zero, or does it load them in some way to make an animation out of them?
