Hi Heyvern, I think you have nailed the problem of the 'invisible rendering' (sounds like it ought to be a good thing, like 'invisible mending'..) There was indeed a layer that wasn't supposed to appear until later - and I think all the other layers united in sympathy and none came out at all. Also ...

Hallo Alan, The camera didn't seem to be the problem. I managed to solve it in a way. I had put everything in a group layer, as there was so many layers to control. I checked to see if by chance this had 'mask' or somesuch on it, but it didn't. Anyway, I removed all the layers from the group and ren...

Hi, Anyone know why a 'render' doesn't come out- I have a fairly complex background with some animation. - a door opening and a light beam moving. looks good, until I render it at any point, frame 0 or any other point on the timeline. The scene was set up at 0 so it ain't that. All I get is a white ...

Hi Bupaji, Well, I've cracked it! I went through every layer and sub-layer, and I have now learned what the little squiggle means on the layer keyframes- which speeded things up no end. Still don't know how it all got set to noisy, but there you go- Since I got Moho, I have learned that when things ...

Hi, I have looked at that- and found that for some reason,nearly all the layer settings were set to 'noisy. So I went thro' every group layer, sub-layer etc., and turned everything to 'smooth'- thought I'd got it- and guess what, it's still 'noisy', even though it now says 'smooth' on the settings. ...

Hi, I seem to have a problem. I have created a character, a dog. He has switch groups, groups etc. all created at frame 0. As soon as I move into frame 1,or beyond, the whole group, or even subgroups jump about all over the place. I've checked every setting I can think of- thinking I might have left...

Thanks very much. I tried it- and it works! Before you replied, I'd discovered the png optimiser in psp and did manage to get a texture image from it into moho, but in such an involved and roundabout way- forgot how I did it. Your way was nice and simple. Regards, Maggie

I am trying to get image texture into a moho project. I have got paint shop pro. I save the image in png format but when it appears in moho, it apparently has gained an opaque background on the layer. Is this because I'm not using photoshop (because I haven't got it)- or am I doing something wrong. ...

Thanks very much. The current version AVI on windows does support an alpha channel. Probably been upgraded since the tutorial was written. Also thanks for info re the Huffyuv code from Myles. I have a real struggle with these codecs, trying to shunt things between different programs on my computer. ...

I have been reading Moho's 'export formats'. It says AVI on Windows doesn't include any built-in codecs to support alpha channels- and as suggested I have obtained the Huffyuv codec which does. But... can someone tell me how I use it with Windows, will Windows know it's there and use it automaticall...

Can I join related and rendered out projects into one (longer) film. Is it done in sort of 'chapters' joined up by a video-editing program outside of MOHO? (Hope this is not too soppy a question..)
Maggie

Thanks, 'dolly' is sorted out now- especially she can have dresses any colour she wants.

I have had Moho for about three weeks now. Go to 'help' get at the tutorials and user manual. THEN..... print out the whole lot. It's the only way. Make sure you have plenty of paper and ink. There's loads of it. THEN follow it repeatedly.... till you're sick of it. You will then begin to 'get it'. ...

I set up artwork, basically a puppet in a dress. All on different layers, did region binding, but when I manipulate the bones poor dolly's dress is ripped all over the place! I used the dress as the torso with two bones. It checks out ok with red line things and off set bone. Would it be better if d...

Am a new member and new user of Moho. I'm unable to drag one layer into another to combine them, as in the case of getting 'frank' into his bones,etc., on the early tutorials. This is very annoying, don't know if it is me or the program. Any suggestions? Maggie
