Moho Animation Forum

is there a way to patch group layers in moho? if no, how do moho users patch groups or do something close to patching a group?

I have no clue what you mean by "patching", could you explain?

Yeah, it's possible. You need to recreate the Patch layer technique using regular masking settings. Synthsin75 helped me figure out the technique in a forum topic years ago.

I dubbed the technique 'Patchoid', and I might have the topic bookmarked. BRB.

Here it ...

An interesting side-effect I discovered was that I can use any shape for the 'Patchoid', not just a circle.

I think there was an error in the example I posted back then. I fixed it a couple of years ago, but I'm not sure if I updated the file at that link.

I'll make a how-to tutorial to illustrate the technique and upload a new demo project you can play with. Until then, the info at the topic should point you in the right direction.

Glad you remember that. I sure didn't.
After some amount of time, it's like someone else did it. I'm getting old.

I just read through the topic, and it looks like I updated the demo file in 2022. Hope you find it helpful!

I'll still make the tutorial video. It should make a good 'advanced' topic.

You won't believe how many times I've searched for solutions, only to find I answered my own question years ago in a forum post.
