Several New Feature Requests

Post by wizaerd »

I'm not sure where the development status of Moho (Anime Studio) stands, but surely there will be new versions, updates, and feature enhancements... SO I thought I'd add a few things I'd like to see added...

1) This has been requested before, lots of times most likely, but I want to add my support for the idea... Multiple sound files instead of importing a single sound file for the entire animation.

2) I'd also like to see additional sound file format support. MP3, OGG, WMA, etc...

3) Inserting/deleting blank frames, similiar to how Flash allows frame manipulation (as far as adding/deelting frames)...

4) I saw a request for a head designer, to help with the turning of heads. While I doubt a lot of pro users would find benefit with that, us newbies sure would. Especially for those of us who aren't overly technical, but still want to create movies...

5) I'd like to see more of an object hierarchy under the layer hierarchy. For example, under a layer a selection for each named shape.

6) More bone constraints, allowing things such as a character to pick up an item and move it across the set, and set it down without having to jump through all kinds of layer loops to accomplish this..

7) A walk cycle generator. Not so much animating the actual walk cycle, but a means to determine stride length so that when the character moves, it actually looks as if he's walking as opposed to skating or floating. ALso, so that it it adjusted automatically by adjusting the length of the path or the actual cycle length as well... Similiar to how Animation:Master does walk cycles...

That's it... for now... :)
