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...

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.

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

Yep!

Learned a lot from this discussion.
Thanks to you and the other guys who commented.

Understood.

But I was attaching the target bone to the heal and then it would move across to the toe automatically when using the manipulate bone tool.
Worked fine when I put the target bones at the bottom of the leg bones instead of the heal part of the foot.

Ah! I just re did the target bones and targeted the leg bones to the target instead of the foot bones. This worked! But it seems to only work on a character that has 2 leg bones and 2 feet. My original character had a big round torso and 2 feet sticking out from under him. No legs. When I tried this...
