Praise 5.3

[rylleman]

I love the new audio handling! Now we can actually hear whats in the soundtrack and sync animation to it! (the somewhat annoying stutter is a small price to pay for this...)

It feels like timeline scrubbing is a lot faster with heavy bitmap images involved even when no soundtrack assigned, is that correct?

I haven't tried locked bone yet but an improvement of IK is great!

Size of replaced images, fantastic, will save me a lot of time.

Document path in LUA, great!

Great work LM, I love Moho!

I can only second that. 5.3 is awesome! Thx LM!!!

Well I agree as well, thanks once more LM!

I just tried the new and improved audio playback/scrubbing, and I am very impressed. This makes a world of difference.

Oh yeah, and this:

* Freehand tool - closed shapes can now have tapered ends - this leaves the closed segment invisible


At first I had no idea what this meant, then tried it and realised that this solved a request from a long time ago. Excellent! Now we can have invisible lines without hiding edges, and this combined with animateable line width means that lines can fluidly appear and disappear within any shape! For highly detailed character morphing this will be immensely useful.

Right on Lost Marble....

Looks great so far. I don't seem to be getting the weird gray artifacts I used to get at the borders of black and white shapes (like a white eyball with a black outline).

What a birthday present!

holy -

I'm rendering a complex project for the first time since the update. The rendering is SO MUCH FASTER. Hooray for that!!!

Fully concur with the posts here - this version is a very significant improvement on 5.2 ... the new line control is exactly what was needed. I think the line is as good a illustrator.

Thanks Lost Marble, what a wonderful update - can only imagine what v6 will be like!
