Moho Forum

I’m wondering if anyone can answer this question. I want to take a video of a live action head/face that has been keyed so that you have just the head with a transparent background. I want to then link this video head to a character so that I can animate the figure as usual, only the video of the head will be linked to the character’s bones. Can you do this in Moho? I can do this in Realusion’s Cartoon Animator by importing the video as a prop and then linking the video prop to the character’s neck bone. I haven’t purchased Moho yet as this function is critical to my project and I want to be sure I can do it. Since Reallusion dumped support for Mac users, I’ve been exploring alternative software packages. Moho is amazing, but I want to be sure I can work with video like this. Thanks!

The answer is Yes - you can squish, squash, transform and bind to bones. Video is pretty much treated as a sequence of Images in Moho, and you will find many examples in Moho where images (PSDs, PNG, JPG) are manipulated by Bones / SmartBones & Meshes.

Thanks for your reply! I would have tried the free trial, but unfortunately the trial “Cannot import any external file formats including images and movies” so I couldn’t try a MOV file to see if it would work. I’ll go ahead and buy it now and give it a whirl! Thanks again.

Yes, you can import mov files with alpha into Moho 14
