1. I would like to see a color chooser, so you could pick colors off your canvas.

2. I would like to see a way to bring up a grid background that you have control over its square size and spacing.

3. The ability to color or paint using your wacom tablet and still be vectors.

1. With the Select Shape tool (Q) select the colour-shape you like to change.
Hold down option/alt and pick any colour in your scene you like to use
for your selected shape.

Or select your colour-shape with the Select Shape Tool,
hold down Option+Command (Mac) and click on any
shape you want this colour transferred.

2. Tick the box in front of the little grid at the bottom of the Editor-view.

3. Choose the freehand-tool, a brush and a colour.
In the Display-Quality sub-window tick all boxes,
(you might have to adjust the brush-settings)
and start painting “The Moho Way”.


Cheers
Nolan

A grid question

Post by writerhoward »

Nolan,

Good info.

What does the number in the rounded rectangle to the right of the little grid represent? I notice that if I make it smaller the number of boxes in the grid increases. Now it's 20? But 20 what?

Thanks,
Howard

Well, as far as I know there are 3 types of grids used in 2D animation.

Normal : the grid is divided into a set of equal size -
(that’s what Moho is using - you can even adjust
the grid-size to your needs – very convenient.

12 Field : The grid measures 12 fields in each direction from the centre.

16 Field : The grid measures 16 fields from the centre.

If you like to know a little bit more about this subject – please have a look here :
