Shadywoods Back/Front Rig Switcheroo in Moho
Переглядів 5426 місяців тому
Here's the easiest way to switch from back rig to front rig, by doing the good old switcheroo. When Frank disappears behind the sofa I'm switching him from back rig to front rig. But you can also do that while the rigs are visible if you align them very closely. That's why I usually don't do 180 rigs. Too much work and most of the time you can get away with slight of hand (or body here ;) like ...

      I animated the skin color styles to gradually turn green, shortened his arms and legs, and when he was small enough just switched to the frog rig. Along with the sound and a jumping/popping motion you can sell that as looking continuous.

When the character turns to the back view, I want to add a clutcher to her hair. Is it possible to create the clutcher shape while working inside the Smart Bone Action? If yes, how can I ensure it animates properly with the 360° turn? Please suggest the best approach for this. Thanks!"

      @KilianMuster 25 днів тому

      I'm happy you find them useful even without in-detail instructions on how to do it. The thing is preparing full tutorials with step-by-step instructions usually means creating all assets and animation exclusively for the tutorial and that's usually too much work for me (ain't nobody got no time for that). So I hope just explaining what I did (past tense) without in detail showing how it's all put together would still be useful (and easy to make).

    How to change for transitition to stop walk cycle? For example walk and then she stop to walk to transitition for standing?

    • @KilianMuster
      @KilianMuster 29 днів тому

      I usually try to find a good frame from which I want to start the transition to standing and then simply freeze the bones (⌘ + F for all bones, or ⌘ + shift + F for the visible bones). That will stop any cycle the bones are in and you can then just animate the part where the walking comes to a stop.

    • @KilianMuster
      @KilianMuster 21 день тому

      Not sure what you mean, but with bones that might be difficult. If it was point animation and you want to make the default shape the same as the point-animated shape, you'd just freeze all points on that frame, copy all the keyframes *for that shape* to frame 0 and that should do the trick, I'm just not sure whether copying keyframes for bones to frame 0 does the same (maybe not).

    • @KilianMuster
      @KilianMuster Місяць тому

      You could try to freeze the points on frame 1. Copy the keyframes for that shape and paste it onto frame 0. Usually works when I accidentally work on frame 1 instead of 0.

      It's a setting in the preferences. In the older version the bones were always thicker, and when they made it a setting you can change in the prefs. The default was made thinner than in the previous versions, I personally prefer the thicker setting, so I changed it.

    It's looking clean and sharp 👍 Is the background design in Moho too? I remember you had another video where you were importing images and tracing vectors in Moho. That's impressive if done in Moho. May I ask, with all those vector lines for background, does it slow down your software and does it make rendering videos a lot longer versus a png background? Thank you cheers!
