Hello all !! I just found out about this great program. SO I downloaded the demo. I drew something with the adpoint tool bassically a wholeacharcter all conneted.. I got stumped when i tried to ad bones then i couldnt see the drawing. so i figured you need to convert the vector lines either into fills or outlines.. but it seems when i select all the points then press create shape on the fill tool it doesnt create an outline. It makes blobs. I'm not sure if this is just a demo problem or im missing something. I did read that the demo is fully funtional.

thank you in advanced for any replies

If all your curves and points are connected together, then Moho will have a hard time knowing what the overall outline is supposed to be. You should either draw the parts as separate, non-connected outlines, or use multiple fills to fill in different parts of the big outline.

Also, have you read the tutorials included with the program? Select Help from the Help menu to bring up the manual, and follow the links to the Tutorials section.

Wow Glad to see your active here in the forum. It seems i didnt read the manual mainly because of evil internet explorer blocked me. When I pressed help. I shall be reading those scrumtious tutorials tonight after work . I was wondering I learned that you can zoom with the mouse, Is there a way to use the hand tool a similar way? im just used to pressing space and moving the screen in other programs is there something similar?

thanks once again.

Runs for buss RAaa

Is there a way to use the hand tool a similar way?

Yes. It's very easy. Hold down the right mouse button and drag. That's it.

Hello!! thank you for the replies

wEll what i meant about the hand/scroll tool was when you press space and the left mouse button in say flash its the shortcut for the hand tool. In moho the zoom is the mid mouse wheel. I know that in moho the spacebar preforms many fuctions. I just find shorcuts while drawing for scrolling is very usefull .Its kind of tedius switching back and forth from tools by clicking on the icon evrytime especially if its something used often. I'm sure there is a way i havent looked at the tutorials yet but i intend to do so this second.

once again thanks alot for your time

Jahnocli Awesome yeah I just got some time to check it out.. yeah right mouse button duh feel like a moron for missing one LOL

Hehe i'll try to get my first animation going i'll post up my progress when i can.

I'm really glad to see a good support group for this program. I've recently been using flash im a classical animator and i dont really dig the whole nesting symbols crap.. I always complained about how it should be set up like 3d programs... I can't belive i didnt her about this program until recently. I think its great and especially witht he limited resources awesome work. cant wait to try more of it out.
