I logged in just to ask how to post an image. Then I saw the icon. That's a useful forum feature.

Re: My first 360° rig!

Your first 360° rig is really good.

Re: I Want to Change Direction

I think it's less frustrating to aim for "being able to create distinctive characters". That is wisdom. In my imagination I always seen to stare at the top of the mountain...from the base of the mountain. The practical approach is to develop a style where all the characters are 'from the ...

I Want to Change Direction

After I looked at my latest animations I started to think they looked too ordinary. There's nothing distinctive about my drawing style. I want to learn caricature drawing. :idea: I would love to try a short animated clip on, say, somebody like Joe Rogan drawn in caricature. Can someone share any ide...

Re: Switching from Animate to Moho

It looks like I'm the first to welcome you to the MOHO forum community. I just subscribed to your YT channel. You're an experienced and knowledgeable animator. You'll learn MOHO quickly. 8)

Re: YouTube Phoneme Test


Like Hoptoad said, lip syncing does get easier. This is my current progress. I made my own phoneme chart based on Preston Blair by taking photos of my own mouth and adding 'Ch', 'Th' and 'S' to the chart.

Re: Feedback for demo reel

I don't have a demo reel or the experience to do one but if I wanted to create a demo reel I would study how professional animators do it and try to copy their techniques before I tested the market. I'm a hobbyist and I've only focused on YouTube. One of the best resources we have is this forum. I'v...

Re: smart bone begins

I'm going to watch this topic. I'm after the same effect in future versions with my current project. 1) tweak the phoneme switch layer. I took selfie pictures with my cell phone to capture my own mouth shapes and made a phoneme 'chart' from them. 2) Add an additional switch vector layer that I'll na...

Re: Drawing Sketches with Moho

Well done. The camera is stationary on the tracks as a train approaches from the distance...and the train passes right through the camera's view. This is why I love animation and what you can do with it.

Re: YouTube Phoneme Test

I don't delete anything and re-start. Instead, for a new scene I will create a New File, and then choose IMPORT Moho Object, and import the basic character, which is fully rigged. The basic character doesn't have any animation, but it has all the phonemes ready to go, as well as actions (for exampl...

Re: YouTube Phoneme Test

Doing lip sync with my custom set was slow, but only at first. After a while, I got much faster, thank goodness. Will your "animated video blogger" do all the lip sync automatically? That's what it sounds like you mean. How does something like that work? Do you have to type-in the text? I...

Re: YouTube Phoneme Test

Like you, I made an alternate set of phonemes and it includes two versions of "e." Both are the widest of the mouth shapes, but one is wider than the other. Myself, I might animate "SD" as short-e followed by wide-e. But it depends on how it looks. Whew! I'm actually glad to hea...

YouTube Phoneme Test

I'm in the process of building a character designed to do video blogging. I was testing only phonemes so nothing else was animated. The character is still pretty rough but I wanted to share the test with the MOHO community. I was not satisfied with any of the available phoneme choices in the Preston...

Re: Drawing Sketches with Moho

As I studied the clip where the fox hops across the stream I paid attention to the eyebrow movements on the bunny. There were subtle changes in expression that helped bring the character to life. I really enjoy the attention to detail. Beautiful work.

Re: An Encouraging SB Test

I hope your able to get it done and have it work the way you want. Thanks. :D I'll keep working on what I have envisioned but in the meantime, I'm going to finish designing and rigging the character I'm working on at the moment. This character will have phonemes and expressions but will not be able...
