Sorry guys.
I am a stubborn, arrogant, know it all, must be right all the time, obsessive compulsive, YOU MUST AGREE WITH ME or I feel like I failed, kind of guy. I am aware of this as one of my... few.... personality failings.
I just feel bad when I hear all of these people trying to use other drawing tools with Moho and the problems associated with that... when I can draw anything I want faster and more easily with Moho than Illustrator.
Don't hate me! Just trying to help out.
I still find the editing tools in Moho (well.. the new ones I use created by others) really easy and quick.
I am putting together my zip file collection. I want to add some kind of text file explaining my... uh... unusual uses and reasons for the combinations.
I actually use two different selection tools from 7feet and Fazek... that technically do the same thing... but one has the ability to change the center point for scaling groups of points and can scale rotate etc... all from one tool.
Fazek's tool allows almost identical selection and translation of points that I like in AI. Almost nearly identical. You can even select all the points of a mesh by clicking anywhere on the outline.
I am too lazy at the moment to figure out how to combine the functionality of both tools into one.
His shape creation tool is much better than the default. It allows you to easily click to create shapes based on how the shape is constructed... very much different and better than the default Moho tool.
Keep in mind Fazek's tools have only existed for a short while.... like... less than 6 months? Not sure... not that long. They are great. I highly reccomend ANY script from Fazek. He rocks!
He just created a very simplistic new one for a "psuedo" flip... it flips the shape... without... actually flipping the shape! Great for creating "opposite sides" of a head turn in a switch layer. I have already used it... but it needs some extra... features to be ready for new users.
All of these things have made my use of Moho... very fluid and fast. When using the "old" tools in Moho the other night on someone elses computer... I was... cursing and swearing...
"I have to send you the tools I use!" I told him. They are much better.
I also keep the original Moho selection tool because it creates key frames with "one click" on a group of points when I need to do that.
Maybe my... assumption that these custom tools were easily available was my biggest error.
When I post my collection... I would be very greatfull if any of you could at least give them a try for a couple of days at least... see if I am just nuts... or maybe they do make a difference.

While were on the topic of "old software"... do any of you rember a really really old product from Letraset (I think) that was suppose to be a competitor to Photoshop?
This was a loooong time ago. I have been wracking my brain trying to remember what it was called. I used it for about... a week... it stank awful.
