im really newbie in moho...
i've been doing some test... to see the capabilites of the program and if can get the hand of it... but when i aplay som shadow into a layer, and i make a render ... everything is ok, but if i export to swf, it doesnt have any shadow
I think there are some restrictions on the SWF-Export. This might be one. Perhaps someone can post a list - or show link to a list - where these restrictions are named.
brushes
fill and line effects (except gradients) layer effects (shadows, shading, layer blur, motion blur, etc.)
image warping or 3D movements in image layers
image layers that use progressive JPEG images (Flash can't handle progressive JPEG images)
layer masking
3D layers
bahh this sucks... if there isn't a shadow... there is nothing buaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Lots of 2D character animation doesn't have proper shadows, having either no shadows or at most a little circle/ellipse under the moving characters. Check out several of your favorite 2D cartoons to confirm this.
If you made a second copy of your objects (preferably after you've animated them), and coloured the copies black (or gray), you could make sharp-edged SWF shadows.
You could also render out to AVI and wrap this in an SWF using one of the movie to SWF converter programs. I believe this tends to create fairly large SWF files in some circumstances.
Another format than SWF, as mr. blaaa suggested, is probably a better solution for cartoons detailed enough to require detailed shadows and other effects.
