Moho Forum

I have a few moho questions that I didn't see in the tutorial. I added some bones to my guy and they move great, but when I click on different bone buttons, like manipulate or spin, all the bones and the pictures they are attacthed to break apart from each other and appear all over the screen. also, one of the legs is invisible when I render it, and when I bend the parts and create the animation and stuff (not yet exported,) I can still see the bones and I dont want to. Also, is there another website that gives pre-recorded on-line tutorials?

I'm new at Moho, but I'll try to answer your questions.

1. Bones breaking apart: When you click the Reparent Bone button, are there any red arrows pointing from one bone to the one above it? Maybe your bones aren't parented to any bone.

To fix it, use the Reparent Bone button and drag from the selected bone up to the one above it (or whichever bone you want to be the parent). To pick another bone to attach to a parent, use the alt/option key and click another bone.

2. Invisible legs: Maybe you clicked on the Visibility icon (the eyeballs next to the leg's layer) when you were past frame 0. That sets a keyframe that makes the part invisible.

To fix it, find where the leg becomes invisible and click on the Visibility icon, or find the Visibility keyframe and delete it (Alt-Backspace).

Another possible reason is that you didn't make a shape for the leg. Use the Create Shape tool to fill in the leg.

3. Visible bones: I don't think there's a way to hide the bones while you're animating, unless the bones are constrained by another bone. There's a command to "Hide Controlled Bones", but those are the only bones that can be hidden, AFAIK.

Hope that helps!
