How do I use animated hide edge tool

Post by Tunde »

Hello,
I’ve downloaded synthsin75 hide edge tool but I don’t know how to use it. What work does it do and how do I use it? I’ve installed it already. Just want to know how it works.
Does it work differently from the hide edge tool that comes with Moho?
Thank you

It's an entirely different method from the native Hide Edge, and it works great in Moho 13.5.5 and earlier. I haven't tried it with 14 yet.

It's easy to use, but it's been a while since I last used it and I need to take a look later today to refresh my memory. From what I recall, you need to create the stroke segments as separate shapes (just select two points and Create Shape.) The tool creates an extra layer to hold the keyframe data for the HIde Edge effect...don't delete this layer or you will break the setup.

There's a thread with info about the tool here...

(I just looked at the thread and it looks like I wrote some steps to follow there.)
