When I try to import illustrator art...it takes forever
and even simple shapes end up having hundreds of points.
Is there a more efficient way to bring in illustrator artwork
that retains the simplicity and point structure of the original art?
illustrator import painfully slow

I discovered the slow import problem right away.
I am not sure which of the following fixes this problem... I will let you know when I know for sure...
-------------------
Make sure you have saved the illustrator without any layers... in the layers triangle option thingy select "flatten artwork".
Save your illustrator file as a lower version. I use 5.5 or 6... I think... not sure... but I think it is the layers thing that slows down the import not the version... I should check this... but once I got it working that is what I do.
I have not had any problems with gazillions of points in Moho from illustrator... it could be that my Illustrator files are already very "point sparse" to begin with.
Try keeping the point count low on the illustrator files. I tend to only put in points around places I need body joints.
Uh... just to be clear i have only been using Moho for about a week. I may not be 100% certain how the points get translated from Illustrator.
