Linked moho object/layers question
Posted: Thu Apr 30, 2026 10:33 am
Just want to make sure I haven't missed something obvious.
From my testing, there isn't a way to "link" a bone layer reference and ONLY UPDATE NON ANIMATED ATTRIBUTES?
For example, a rigged character is used in many files, but each with a different animation.
If you updated the original, added or moved bones, or moved vectors on an existing layer, you can't update a file with that layer linked without losing all the animation, correct?
I've tested a little bit, and it seems this won't work. When I update the link reference, it wipes my bone keys even without changes to the original.
I have 25 files all with the same character. Was hoping to link the "base" elements of the character and update changes without losing bone and lip sync animation.
I still have my bone animation export/import script, but it needs updating for the new version of Moho. Wanted to check the layer link feature before wasting time on that.
p.s. I am aware of sharing styles across many files, so that's not the issue.
