Transform Bone Tool Not Working

Post by ineviTabLe »

I'm using Moho Pro 14, and I'm trying to follow along with a video to make a mouth rig. However, whenever I bind the points to the corresponding bone, it doesn't work.
The bones only move when I use the manipulate bones tool, not the transform bones tool. I have no idea if I'm doing something wrong or not. If it matters, I am a beginner.

Are you in frame 0 or an animation frame?

Frame 0 is the setup frame, so the Transform Bone tools don't 'pose' a bone there; it's only used for bone placement. To pose a bone using Transform Bone, you need to be on an animation frame, which is frame 1 or later. Manipulate Bone can work on frame 0, but not always reliably. To see results for Manipulate Bones, you should be on an animation frame as well.

In short, be sure you're on an animation frame when testing the rig.

Tip: You can use the Toggle Frame 0 button to jump between the setup frame and the current animation frame. Also, make sure that Highlight Frame 0 is enabled. This draws a red box around the Working Area to make it more obvious when you're on the setup frame.

If that doesn't help, you'll need to provide more detailed information and/or post an example image, video, or project file.

Yep I also think you may be on frame 0.

If you are starting out with Moho, I recomend you to start learning the basics. They made a complete free course recently that's pretty short and concise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLqZOY1 ... -exwJ3UJ3T

Or if you are more into reading or want to complement it with more in deep information, you have the manual here: https://youneedawiki.com/app/page/1UxA8 ... gJw4U9flX3

Oh gosh, I was on frame 0. Thanks for the advice, I feel so dumb now, haha. I'll look into those tutorials!
