I've made a stylized figure attached to a pendulum, placed a pin bone as the rotation point and included bones for figure, attempts so far have failed, when the pin bone is rotated the layer with the body/head etc move as expected but the separate bttm arm and leg which I hope to control later don't...

This keeps the artwork easier to edit and animate, and you can still animate the stacking order for the shapes. I admit I tend to use a lot of layers and group...

I mean if that simple vector construction can throw someone, god forbid they try to figure out what a smart bone i...

the original example is likely to have come from anime studio v.9 which leads me to believe as the simplest example, I like the way it works and all the points when selected look less problematic when using flexibinding, so going to continue to work it out, until then, thx you both.

use of the word shapes has appeared twice now and I've just noticed in the menu a show all shapes when applied doesn't do anything - a layer is empty until you draw a shape and fill I assume. Slowtiger is yours all on one layer, simplicity is always an advantage. http://i63.tinypic.com/2luaq0g.jpg S...

http://i68.tinypic.com/24mf04o.jpg the image may look shite, but think solved it (famous last words), start with sleeve form where you want arm to be finally welded, the start of the sleeve continue to close arm you can now select the whole vector as one and the arm is above the back of the sleeve,...

in this construction its one layer, so raising and lowering is grayed out in menu, I think its more to do with how the points were originated,so not sure what's controlling it to work the way it does, tried arm first, then weld, tried t-shirt first then weld either way one of if not both resulted in...

http://i68.tinypic.com/2w59kbl.jpg Studying examples in Moho library and chosen what I thought was a relatively simple arm layer, the thing is I can't get the same result: 1. whole vector layer arm is selected, whilst without using hide lines the actual filled grey arm is in the front and filled sl...

I thought the last posting on the titled animation warranted further attention and edited corrections, so I've stripped out what I thought was unnecessary and have tried to tighten the storytelling of the animation. The previous link on YouTube has been deleted and now posting new link: https://yout...

Just came across this on the forum, great instructional video posted dropbox. To download the vid you need to allow dropbox to access your photo's, so I declined. Any chance it can be posted on Youtube it's published by Victor. I can watch via dropbox at least. Had a look on YouTube under the title ...

whilst surfing came across this recent post on YouTube, which deserves some views, its not covered with narration but has textual explanations to follow in the method of body turns and bone actions using Moho.

sounds right, now just the minor problem of getting the walk cycle right; will have yet another look and attempt at the relative walk cycle feature in Moho 12, Chucky a forum member rated it as 'troublesome' and from my last attempt I'd agree, any ways off topic, will have a go at what you mentioned...

completed a walk cycle from frame one, and would like to use it in timeline at a later frame time, (I've searched the forum on the topic but may be its worded differently,) that way I can I save from my current timeline and 'insert copy' from the Actions window back in the timeline at a later time. ...
