Moho Forum

Howdy.
Mr. Lumpkin is a WIP character painted with Artrage and assembled in Moho. He's the guy down the street with the old rusty car and the unfriendly disposition. I'm still working on bones and switches for the mouth, but I think this one might actually come together! Right now, all the parts are just layers and move fine, but I think some bones could improve this a bit.
Suggestions/Crits welcome!

This is really good! How long did it take to draw up ?

Very nice character, I use ArtRage too and I'm in to making some animatons with it, a very powerfull paintprogram. I would love to see some animations with your character when you're done rigging.
Good work!!
suggestions: I think you should try to make the eyebrowse follow the eye movements, maybe you already have thought about it, that was what I thought about when I saw this

Thanks!

All told, the charachter took a couple of hours. I'm still learning how to paint using Artrage, so it might have gone faster if I knew what was I was doing. Started as a doodle with no plan to make a poseable character - it just kind of turned out that way. All told, I think I'm going to have fun between AR and Moho. Hopefully I can pull something together

How do you import ArtRage files into moho?

DetoNaToR:
I don't know for sure if you can do it with the free version, but the full version of Artrage allows you to use layers and export each layer as a separate image. If you use transparent layers [default] and save them individually as as .png files, you can drag the layers directly into Moho as new image layers, or use the "file => import" menu. I advise cropping the images a bit with some imaging program before you bring them into Moho if you're planning to deform with bones.

So far, it's been pretty slick!

Looks cool, nice style. I played with ArtRage a bit but hadn't thought of using it to create characters - sort of fixated on vector shapes. Will have to try this some day soon.

Hi ThermOs!
I made a short artrage-moho attempt here if you would like to see it.

Very Nice! Audio and everything! I'd call that proof of concept. Well played. I didn't know that Moho could drop shadows off of transparent image layers! That'll come in handy. Moho developers = brilliant!

In Lumpkin Land:
I've "finished" the rigging (at least as far as I'm likely to go with this impromptu charachter). He's moving around pretty well! A little rough around the edges, but I think he's useable.

Check him out if you like. (1.12mb zip file):

Free n' clear for the public. It's my hope that someone can find a home for him or learn something from this. If you do use it, please let me know! I want to see!

Cheers to all,
