I have a problem when drawing freehand in Moho that the tapering and fineness of the lines is lost when rendered to 320 x 240 pixel size ( a bit larger).
When I draw in Moho and use fine lines....
(The setup for drawing: Freehand Options: Variable Line Width, say, Min: 1, Max 3 (or whatever) plus "Taper Start" and "Taper End".)
....The lines that are seen on the screen in Moho are finer than when the object is rendered, ecspecially if the final render is smaller, say 320 x 240.
However, when the final render is 680 x 480 and larger the fine line quality is better.
But render the final drawings to a smaller dimension and all the fineness in the tapered lines is muted, lost, thickened - their tapering is gone.
(This also happens even when I import an Adobe Illustrator file and render it smaller.)
I wanted to test the Moho drawings in Adobe Photoshop.
I rendered a drawing in Moho with a 320 x 240 pixels, .png format.
Then I rendered the same drawing at 960 x 720 pixels .png format.
I opened both in Adobe Photoshop. In the Moho 320 x 240 drawing all the tapering and fine lines were gone. In the 960 x 720 all the tapering and fine lines were still there.
When, in Photoshop, I reduced the image size of the 960 x 720 drawing to 320 x 240, Photoshop maintained the fine lines and tapering.
Moho does not.
See image comparison here:
So the best way that I have found to maintain fine line width is render the Moho animation in a larger dimension size, then import it into another program and reduce it to the final size you will be using.
I can´t get Moho to make a smaller dimension file and maintain line width.
Anyone have any other experiences in freehand drawing in Moho and subsequent rendering of the drawings/animation?
This having to render at a larger size then downsize in another program, will cause more work, larger files and longer rendering times to finish a project.
