Help with rigging, binding bones

Help with rigging, binding bones

Im using debut as im just trying to make manga edits, I have recreated the image with all the layers I want movement as seperate layers. Example in this image I have the right side of her fringe on its own layer, when I try to create this bone layer, I can’t seem to bind the 3 bones to this one layer, and when I try to move it it just like spins around and has no like stretching or bending, it hust moves the whole image around. What am I doing wrong? I can’t find anything online that resolves my issue

Need help, head bone does not seem to center.

Following along MCcoy buck rigging tutorial, I can zero root bone on X axis and body bone, but head bone doesn’t seem to zero, if I do it manually it drops down to base of body bone. Is there something I’m missing?

Создание мультика и как это работает

Господа, я впервые на Reddit и не знаю, как здесь всё работает, но у меня есть вопрос. Я хочу создать анимацию, небольшой мультик. Рисую я плохо, а рисовать мышкой - это ад, поэтому я решил положиться на риговую анимацию. Но и тут я столкнулся с бутылочным горлышком!

Как подготовить уже нарисованного персонажа к анимации, если я совсем не умею нарезать его на слои? Интернет-сервисов для этого я не нашёл. И вдобавок ко всему у меня есть вопрос: кто вообще умеет делать анимации в программе MOHO? Для этой программы даже нормальных обучалок нет.

Looking for a Moho user to teach me how to use it

20$ a hour (you are allowed to ask for a higher per hour or just a set mount of money with a half now half after teaching)I need a 2D animator that uses Moho to teach me how to use it. I’ve watched 18 hours of tutorials, spent 2 all nighters trying to figure out through brute force too, looked at Moho’s own tutorials, and I still can’t move the layers.

-You don’t need to teach me to animate or draw, I already can and that’s why a indie company hired me but problem is I’m the only animator so no one knows how to use Moho

-it’s the highest version of Moho or newest what ever it’s called? Got it a week ago

  • just teach me how to use everything about the app, because they can’t hire new animators until at least one person knows the animation software. Otherwise they’ll switch us back to Flipaclip and I’ll be the only person animating their show

  • not required but preferred if you have patience

  • Preferably teaching me this Wednesday or Thursday (deadline is Friday) you can pick what time of day and how long you want to teach for

Estimation of maybe 1 - 2 days of teaching ( 8 - 16 hours at most) just a one or two time thing

No need for animation demonstrations so technically the length of animation is none or 2 frames max? You may dm me or comment if interested, we’ll discuss what your preferred communication method/app is.

Rig breaks when I copy & paste a keyframe within an action!!

Hello! Admittedly I am new to Moho and I have v12 PRO because I bought it for cheap on humble bundle so I know my version's a little outdated, but does anyone know why the rig keeps breaking when I copy & paste a keyframe within an action? As you can see the front turn looks fine right before I copy & paste the head shape to make the back of the character's head.

I'm following along with this little webinar so I can get the hang of the tools.

Unsure if I'm just being silly because it's late at night or if it's actually a problem and I should think about upgrading at some point. Thanks! :)

UPDATE: I figured it out, my first keyframes weren’t set to linear 🤪 It really was the late night getting to me.

How can I prevent drawing on a single layer from slowing down due to the large number of layers?

If I turn off all layers except one, I can draw on that single layer for a while—even with brushes displayed—without any lag at all. But turning off ALL my layers every time takes too long and is too complicated.

Is there a way to make the program simply display all inactive layers without actually loading them? Or to show only the layer you’re drawing on, hiding all the others? That wouldn’t be very convenient either, because you wouldn’t be able to see what you’re drawing on top of, but… At least it’s something.

Because right now, my work is plagued by insane lag—I can’t even move the canvas without it freezing, and even drawing a straight line from one point to another is very difficult and causes my laptop to freeze, let alone actually drawing.

Moho 15

I'm interested in buying a Moho license. Pirating never sat right with me ever, I want to support these amazing people with my wallet, as do many of you. Especially that it is a one time buy!

But Moho 15 is holding me back. Apparently, every 3 years there is a major release, which means 2026-2027 might be it. I can't spend a lot of my cash on a product yet, that will get replaced by a better version of it. I'm just a university student with dreams.

Does anyone know when Moho 15 is estimated to come out?

Could this style be recreated in Moho?

I'm doing research for a commissioned project. The client wants me to animate a painting in a style similar to the example above.

I thought about repainting the characters in Moho in order to have full control and better motion than classic digital cutout, but it would most certainly be loots of effort. Do you think this would even work, achieving a painterly style like this?

Note that the characters should be able to fully walk, maybe even including some body turns. How would you approach a scene like this without spending a ton of hours (and therefore budget for the client)?
