Hello friends, me again... I've got a situation where I have a Moho character with IK and IK/FK switches. The feet bones I've set to Independent angle. I use this character a lot in different scenes and import it by reference. Yet, whenever I update the reference, the feet angle get invariably messe...

Got it, thanks.

Is there a way to replace an imported moho object (character) with another (very similar rigged) character? I haven't found a way to do this. I've got an imported Moho character object in a scene with animation and want to swap it with another one. The Update Reference command only lets you update t...

Oh, thanks! I had no idea you could do that. Will give it a try.

Hello friends, Any tips to make switching from IK/FK and vice-versa not move the limbs? I've got a smart bone doing the switching but every time I switch them there is a slight movement in the arms, no matter how much I try to adjust the IK. Just wondering if there might be some tried and true trick...

I'm only mentioning these to show there are many (endless?) ways to do the same thing, and some are better than others for a given situation...but, IMO, it's usually best to go with the simplest. Good luck! https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/l7lze3d7ktqv0llz9wslx/Mameneko_40px.png?rlkey=uosepvchf7jasrl...

- Put 1 layer into another - select the layer bind tool - click on the bone you want to bind the layer to. Oh crap. I feel like and idiot. Something else I didn’t think about! I could bind the bow’s main layer (even though ti contains bones of its own) to the arm bone (hopefully). Thanks a lot. I‘l...

Which is essentially just putting one layer inside another?

Of course you can layer bind a bone layer to a bone of another, higher layer; It won't let me. I have a main bone layer for the character and inside it the imported bow Moho object with its own bone layer. When I try to reparent the root bow's bone to the character's hand bone, Moho refuses to do i...

Ha, ha. That's brilliant, cheers!

It actualle never even occurred to me!

Am I right in saying that for parenting to work the arrow bones have to be part of the bow's chain? There is no way to parent one bone layer with another?

Hello, so my situatioon is this: I've got a bow with bones. I've got an arrow (separate Moho object) with bones. I've got a character (separate Moho object) with bones. What I'm trying to do is: 1. Have the arrow follow the motion of the bow while the character moves the bow and draws it. 2. Have th...

Thanks. use stroke-only with a "crayon" brush rather than filled shapes? Yes, I tried this but the result wasn't great. Maybe I need to keep tweaking it. consider using bitmaps as fills for a shape's Stroke as well as the Fill Any pointers on what the bitmap has to look like? I mean, more ...

Hello again friends, Any tips for creating nice crayon-like textures in Moho to fill shapes? I don’t want to use an image because I’ve had very bad results with them before when the texture is complex (issues like nasty stretching, unwanted rotation, etc) when the vector shape is deformed by bones. ...

I see. Thanks for the suggestions.

I take it there is no way to switch off a layer binding from a bone mid-animation, right? Basically I've got an image whose layer is linked to a bone. In a certain point of the animation I want to release the image from that bone so I can move it independently of the bone. Haven't found anything eve...
