Bone moving wrong layers

Post by Shyikimono »

I was following Victor Paredes' tutorial on rigging a character (the one with the yellow dog), and everything was going wonderfully fine until I began rigging the legs. Why, for the love of god, are their movements switched? When I move the right leg bone, it moves the layer of the left one, and vice-versa. What the heck is happening :shock:

Notes:
-I binded them to the correct layers.
-I clicked on the middle/body bone before creating the leg bones, so their hierarchy shouldn't be messed up.
-I repeated the tutorial steps two more times, but ended up with the same issue :/

Hi!

1. Which version of Moho are you using? Platform?
2. Which tutorial is this? Link?
3. Can you upload a copy of your version of the project file with the error?

Otherwise, it's not possible for anyone here to help troubleshoot this.

Thank you for the reply!

1- Version: 14, on Windows 11.
2- Tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrW-Iu_b8bc
3- File: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VZY9ag ... drive_link

I'm new to Moho, so I likely messed something up, but I don't know where :(

There's no Moho file, to see what went wrong.

watch the video - from around 31:00 mark. You need to do what Victor says - bone strength to zero; then select the bones for one leg and the relevant leg layer then link-bones-to-layer (ctrl-shift-F) then repeat for the other body parts. (The uploaded file is the state of the example rig at about the 30:30 mark)

It still didn't work :(
I'll do it all again in a new file from the beginning, maybe I missed something else.
Thank you all for the replies!
