Re: Why do drawn bones have an offset? How to have exact locations?

Two possible sources of error:
- check that layer's Z depth. It should be 0.
- sometimes you get erratic behaviour because the layer's origin is way off. Reset the layer position, or the origin point.

Re: Bone nested inside bone layer

I do this all the time to separate timing. A character walking - one bone layer - but then talk and gesticulate and moving its head - another bone layer, or even more. Saves me from accidentially grabbing the wrong keys.

Oh yeah, closing the programs. I have to do that a lot in my workflow!

Re: How to mirror points to create a head turn in both directions?

The last time I used head turn actions I had a simple layer flip in the middle. Worked for those characters, but only as long as you have non-symmetrical features on separate layers.

Re: Moho and After Effects not playing together nicely

I'm guessing right now: do you mean you have imported something into AFX, then render this again out of Moho with the same name and overwrite the existing file, and then AFX doesn't show preview/scrub? If so, this behaviour happens in half of the programs I use. Has something to do with the OS way o...

Re: A year without any updates

Maybe I'm wired completely differently, but if I buy a software then I care about what it can do right now. I don't care about what it might be able to do next year. As for support, the best sign of commercial health will always be Moho's engangement withing this forum, and that is quite well over a...

Re: So I bought Moho pro...

Usually you download the installer once, and save it on your side (recommended). The activation/deactivation process of the installed program has no limit AFAIK.

Re: A year without any updates

I really don't get this mindset. I still use Moho version 8 happily, which is 12 yrs old. 90% of what I do can be done with that version. The recent version 13.5 is stable and works perfectly for me, I expect to use it another 10 yrs. Of course I will update whenever there's a chance, but my work do...

Re: A year without any updates

I think we should introduce a new habit here in the forum: any first time poster (like this one) with only 1 posting complaining about Moho (not having feature X, urging to get feature Y, or demanding a new version) should be completely ignored. Furthermore I suggest we just delete those posts as th...

Re: Moho 14. And The Rise Of AI.

Think of SIGGRAPH demos, the kind we see for 30 years now: always impressive, sometimes with good ideas, but they all are just lab setups with no connection to the real world. There's a reason why we don't see the impressive renderings of 3D fractals, Stable Diffusion's Steal&Morph, or any of th...

Re: Moho 14. And The Rise Of AI.

That's a bit elitist, wouldn't you agree? Not at all. I've seen my fair share of new technologies appear and disappear over the decades, and had many a discussion about it. There's always that certain kind of people who, while not the least experienced in the field, urge everyone to embrace the hot...

Re: Moho 14. And The Rise Of AI.

I'd really like to discuss AI, what it can and what it cannot do, how it works and how it scams artists, who finances it and who profits from it and who not - but only with folks who have a decent understanding of animation in terms of real, years-long experience in production. That said, I think th...

Re: Tips on drawing character for rigging

Since this pops up regularly I'd like to point a hint or two: You don't design for rigging. You design for your story and the movements within. Only larger productions can spend time to build a one-fits-all perfect rig, but it doesn't make sense to do the same for a shorter project which doesn't nee...
