Dependencies of moho objects across files

[eriam]

Hello

I was wondering if when I import a moho object from a file (say my object is in file object.moho) into another file (sequence.moho) the imported object in sequence.moho gets updated if I make changes in object.moho ?

Same question applied to styles (maintain a style moho file with styles applied to several files) ?

If not how do you organize your files for managing many objects, styles and combining these all together ?

Basically I think having everything in a single file will eventually be painfull (and difficult for several people to work on these ..)

Thank you

Sorry but It doesn't work like that, you have to update every workfile manually, unfortunately you can't copy/paste animation onto the updated characters, making the process very time/money consuming...
There are feature requests for a reference system and LM has said that he maybe eventually will adress the issue, so I'm holding my thumbs really tight for this in the next update.

I keep a folder of often used items... like hands, eyes, mouths... etc. Some of these are "pre-rigged" with bones... switch layers etc.

As for styles, for the large project I am doing right now I have a template Moho document that has all of my styles predefined.

I can either start with that file like a template or I can import the layer from that file with the styles in it.

None of these solutions address the larger issue of shared resources but it takes the edge off of it for me.

If you get really ambitious you can use a text editor to change styles across many Moho files. I have done this a few times... it isn't... impossible... but I'd rather go fishing.
