I think I have done enough discovery and explaning by now with this method.
Of course, you should only use this method if simpler methods fail. If a particular effect can be created with simpler methods, it would be a waste of time to use the method above. There might be circumstances that pure bone animation (i.e. using a single bone layer or group of bone layers, and animate that over the frames) is just as good, but much faster to do.
I realize this thread isn't a tutorial, just some exploring I did with the Moho tools. And I don't intend to write a tutorial, because I'm only using Moho for a few months now. Nevertheless I hope I have given some of you new ideas how to create more fluent and consistant animations.
If you think you can do much better than the examples I have given, then by all means, please do! And put some of your work in this forum (Share your Work). I love to see what others with far better developed skills than me can create.
