Bone Dynamics won't run in Moho 13.5 ...

Post by Seb78 »

I am sorry but I need another help.
The following problem I have with the newest Moho version (working on my MacBook, MAcOs 11.4) is really weird:
The bone dynamics do not work in 13.5, no matter whether it is on the actual timeline, or on an exported preview animation or on the exported HD animation.
But they do work just fine when opening the project in 12.0! And there is nothing I changed there with regard to the the configurations...
Any suggestions?
Thank you so much!
Greetings
Sebastian

Might have to see a file with the problem.

Similar happened to me once. Make sure the [Animation] [Enable Bone Dynamics] menu is enabled.

Thanks Sam and Wes,

it was already checked, but I just deactivated it and then checked it again - now it works! Have a great day!

All the best from Berlin

Well, unfortunately,
again, it does not work. Now I am working in a another project, it was a former 12.0 project which I opened with 13.5. And even when I am deactivating and activating the "enable bones dynamic", the bones do not move automatically.
I guess it may be a bug? Do you have any other idea? Much obliged and sorry for asking again!

Maybe delete the art if you want and upload the file? You can do it easily using windows' onedrive or any other cloud service and sharing a link to the file.

I would therefore suggest that you act as synthsin75 suggested, and provide access to one of the broken projects. There maybe something odd in the way you set up the project which is conflicting with 13.5?

Hi there and thanks for the advice!
I just prepared the project file for synthsin75, as I did with one other file yesterday. I deleted a few layers to reduce the project to the characters with their bones I had an issue with.
And guess what: Now the characters' bone dynamics work! So I guess that some former objects or layers must have been corrupt. But these weren't any fancy data like an audio file or external image I imported. It was just vector-files I created within Moho. This is really annoying when you cannot identify the real problem, and I do not want to rebuild everything around the characters again, you understand?
But thanks again for tzhe quick replies!
Many greetings
Sebastian

If you PM me the original file, I can see if I can figure out why any layers would be causing the problem.

Okay, this is definitely a bug in 13.5. Even in a clean file, bone dynamics don't work if the layer has a switch layer as a parent.
It's easy enough to fix. Just set the top switch layer to "Interpolate sub-layers." This is a new feature since v12, and apparently all the bugs haven't been worked out of it yet.

EDIT: I've reported the bug to the devs.
