Camera and line thickness...

Post by cribble »

I'm having a little trouble when i zoom in. When i zoom, all my lines get fatter and fatter, which i don't want to happen. Is there a way so the lines don't get fatter as i zoom in?

Thanks

Scale compensation works with .MOV and .AVI output, but it doesn't work with SWF output.... any work-abouts?

What Moho calls Scale Compensation is just what Flash does by default when you scale an object. You can't tell Flash to just turn it off.

There is a workaround: I suspect that the layer in question is optimized for Flash (no point motion, bone warping, etc.). To prevent the lines from getting thicker, you need to un-optimize the layer. Just go in and add a point motion keyframe somewhere in the timeline, without actually moving the points. Also, be sure Scale Compensation is turned off for that layer.

After doing that, Moho will be able to tell Flash to scale the object up, while maintaining the line width at its original size. The downside is that with the layer un-optimized, the Flash file will be bigger.
