Gail Gong that is right. Linear is constant speed between the keys, if you use the standard smooth it means there is some speed and slow in the action. Then add smooth interpolation to the smart bone when you are animating and you double it. Or use a different interpolation, and it adds some smooth into the mix. Using Linear means that the action doesn’t add anything you don’t want into your animation when you animate a smart bone.

I keep the hand separate so I don’t need an action for the wrist. And I usually do hands as switch layers which also means a separate element is best. And thanks.

Thanks. I don't know how I get 700 views either :)

If you are demoing Debut, you won’t have actions. Only Pro.

@@SquareBearStudio i see.. thank you so much for your help appreciate it.. i wish i could buy that Pro sooner so icould do exactly what you are doing sir. Tnx again

Hey bro how to animate a ball in this software

Somehow I missed this. In Moho 12 the meshes are great for bending your imported bitmaps, PNG-24 is best for the good transparency.

Smart Bones are Pro only.

If you are not on Pro, you won’t have actions. If you are on Pro you need to go to the Windows menu in Moho and turn it on.

Thanks

ferano wibisono not in this one. If you have one, have you set up two individual actions, one for each direction? The biggest reason I've seen for a choppy action is trying to put two directions in a single action. The other is not having enough keyframes in the action, you need enough to have a nice smooth turn, and if you have fewer than 48 you may start to see chop and jitter.

no, only one direction. here is the example project. Thank you for helping :) www.dropbox.com/sh/hujej5nm5j1nfmj/AADgML8W1Dh0_ZoCM0_fNJKEa?dl=0

Found it. Your action is 50 frames long. Your animation is way longer than that. So it doesn't have enough frames in the action to cover the length of the action in your animation. Here's the thing, I usually set my actions to be 96 frames long, easy to spot that because that shows the 4 second line at 24fps. You won't get jitter if your action has plenty of frames. But your animation has more than the number of frames in the action, so it needs to repeat some of those frames to fill the space. I also recommend changing the keyframes (start and finish) for the bone action to Linear, that way you aren't having conflicts with the interpolation you use in your full animation.

sorry but i do still have the issue, here is the project. do you have any idea? www.dropbox.com/sh/iszfddp18f6phmr/AABqEAFSuaPklWYK98bVZngYa?dl=0

Sorry, I missed that reply. Are you still having any issues?

Several, but I’m not sure of your experience level so let me go through what I’ve seen in the past. Number one, the vector layers aren’t inside the bone group. Two, the binding is set to area binding but the bone strength has been set to zero. Those are the big ones. Another is somehow a smart action has gone very wrong, to test that I usually save as a new file, delete all the actions, and see if it fixes it. If it fixes it, it’s then detective work to find the problem. There are possibly others, but I’m betting there is a binding issue. If you’re learning, consider joining the Moho Character Animators Facebook group.

@@SquareBearStudio thank you so much and I have figured it out

Yes, very much the reason

I did one tutorial on old-school arm joints, though, and frankly it’s the method I use more often anyway. Works great in debut.

Robert Anderson hey, if you haven’t joined us on the Facebook group, please come over. facebook.com/groups/mohocharacteranimators/ It sounds like you may not have Stroke checked in the control bar or the styles panel, you can do it from either place. With the tool,selected, when you go to create a line see if you can check Stroke. If you can, do it. If you can’t and you are using the Create Shape tool, make sure that Stroke is checked before you create the shape. Those eyedroppers can be weird. They are mostly aimed at the fill, and on some screen resolutions they can be off and not pick up what you think you’re picking. It is much easier to help with the Facebook group, though. Hope this helped.
