Compare the quality of freehand strokes, brushes in Freehand vs. Illustrator! Illustrators strokes are of much better quality, they ...

Well an update on my situation. I ended up opting for the corel draw 12 package getting the $99 upgrade price cause I am a freehand user. With the corel suite you get draw, photopaint, rave and jakob of interest possibly to you is corel trace, which does a very nice job of vector tracing objects. Af...

Ok the problem was a segment of the upper left part of the arm was not connected properly when it was exported. The solution is to give the arm a fill inside of you illustration app and then bring it into moho. At least that is what I did. I brough it into freehand gave it a fill and then converted ...

Hello Jeremy, When it comes to creating your own brushes and strokes Expression has a definite advantage. Expression's skeletal stroke technology is superb for this type of thing.

Cheers,

well i ended up just reapplying the fill inside of flash over 40 frames. would be nice if I dont have to do this everytime.

Is there a flash problem with importing swf files that anyone is aware of?

Cheers,

Ok heres an odd one. I exported out a swf file no problems. When I run it externally via flash it renders perfectly. But the minute I import the swf into flash a fill is missing on my hand shape. If I call the swf externally into my movie it also works? So the swf file is correct, but some how in th...

Well I played with new brushes some more a bit and couldnt do want I was aiming for, that being creating a variable ink stroke that is presssure sensitive, and not a natural medai brush. :(. I supose I just need some more time in it to play. I dont like in the help system that is requires you to dow...

But basic brush strokes are another story :) But it appears that the effects I want are doable :) !! Yeah... I imagine just creating a new brush stroke (like a regular inking stroke) would...

Hey Squeakydave Well I downloaded the demo and so far it seems quite good. It lives up to its rep for speed and great quality.

Thanks guys Downloading a demo right now! :) How's the compatibility with Moho and or Flash? From the demo videos it seems to have some great feathering, transparency, and other pretty amazing effects. But from my experience these effects in other programs dont export so nicely. Squeakdave you retra...
