Locking Moho Objects/Laters

Post by vivekchakraverty »

I know this may sound pretty rudimentary but how do you lock a moho scene object at a particular location?

Can clarify what you mean by locking?

For animation, you can copy/paste a key to hold the position (my preferred method,) or you can use a Step key, which will hold the position until the next keyframe.

If you mean locking a layer so it can't be edited (like in After Effects,) unfortunately, Moho doesn't support that yet. In the meantime. I recommend installing Synthsin75's Lock Layer script. It's been very handy when I need it! :D

(Note: Link updated to preferred release. See below.)

Non-bone, animated objects, I meant!

I wouldn't suggest using the one linked. Use this one instead: https://www.lostmarble.com/forum/viewto ... 36#p167236

I just removed the link to the unstable version and replaced it with the good link, just in case anyone links to that post.
Maybe one day I'll figure out a better way to implement the non-button version.
