Hello new subscriber 😊😍 thanks for your subscribing Both are good, we do not have anything bad in Moho. You know that in Moho, inside groups we have layers, and inside layers we have shapes. So when you want to add, subtract, or clip a layer, you use mask. When you want to add, subtract, or clip a shape, you use liquid shape. As you can see we can't use them interchagably. So it depends on the situation. To compare them I have to say: 1. Mask is for layers, but liquid shapes is for shapes 2. Liquid shape has blend value and using it you can blend your shapes with each other but mask doesn't have blend value and you can't blend your layers with each other 3. Mask has a feature called exclude strokes that you keep or remove the strokes of the base shape on top of all of shapes in your group but liquid shape doesn't have this feature 4. In moho we have different methods of rigging and drawing. A: Sometimes a person wants to draw everything in one layer, and link the points of the shapes of that layer to some bones (in this case liquid shape is recommended) B: Sometimes a person wants to draw the shapes in several layers and then link the layers to bones (in this case mask is recommended) C: Sometimes a person wants to use both of the methods (A and C) (in this case both mask and liquid shape is recommended) 5. Mask can be used for image layers but liquid shape can not be used for images To learn more about masks watch this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XhJRtaB1U9M.htmlsi=w5PlX8c7vmHnSoHD To learn more about liquid shapes watch this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TS-ph5tpdnY.htmlsi=58dsIRwwtzFz8Bd3 So the choice is yours and both are good❤
@@rupeshsappata1432 Sure, I have a plan to make some tutorials about this, but first I need to make a tutorial about Moho 14, so the users will be aware of the features of the newest version. After that video, I release a series of tutorials about rigging. And I'm sure all of them will be as helpful as this one ❤
If anyone is reading these comments, I just wanted to say I made the video about Moho 14! here is the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TS-ph5tpdnY.html
thank you very much! This is a very big help to me, because I'm just shocked by this program, and I'm just crazy about cartoons! I really like your -Tutorial. With love from Russia!
@@modelmananimation thank you sir, I'm very happy that the tutorial you provided really helped me, I'm a beginner who wants to dive into the world of animators or animation🤩
@@modelmananimation Hi, 1. illustrator vs photoshop for creating 2d game characters for unity 2. Moho pro vs spine pro which is better for 2d character animation for unity games ? Please answer these two questions !
@@chhatrapatikumar Hi my friend when it comes to making a game, the answer of your questions can not be accurate! So there is no accurate answer like "this" or "that". And the reason is it depends on different aspects of your game, such as the style of your designs, the animations you want to make, the effects you need to make, the mechanics that the game designer designs, the changes that you might think you'll make in the future even if you don't need to do them now, etc. 😁Also, there is no "better" option. Every software that you mentioned in your comment can be a good option for making a game. For some games you might found it easier to use one of them, while for some you might prefer to use the other, or even both! 🙂To show you an example, here is the game that I created using adobe illustrator, photoshop and Moho: here is the behind the scenes of my game ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F8jdUM9VBd8.htmlsi=na60t62ojTkwfnG9 and here is the gameplay: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wNGmn7XhnOE.htmlsi=ZrYS4DS9XXCxDD_F And from my own experience, you'll only find your answer when you finish your game!😁 I myself had faced the same challenge before I stated to make my game in pre-production stage. but yeah, let's just make it clear for you. 😀 1. to choose between photoshop and illustrator, first, think about the style of your game. We use adobe illustrator to create vector images (vector images are created based on path, fill and stroke, they don't lose quality when you zoom, they take less time to process and load compared to raster images). On the other hand we use Photoshop to create raster images (raster images are created based on a number of pixels, each has three numbers, including red green blue, and obviously they take a lot of time to load compared to vector images, however there is more freedom when you want to add a lot of details to your design when you choose raster images). In contrast, you can create raster images in illustrator and create vector images in photoshop as well. But the reason that I said we use illustrator to create vector images and we use photoshop to create raster images, is that it's easier to create a raster shape in photoshop while it is easier to create a vector shape in illustrator! So to find the answer of your question, you need to experiment! And take it easy, do not test it with a great character full of details. test it with a simple character to see which one suit you the best. Just to add another option for you, I have to tell you that if you want to create vector images, you can even design your characters in Moho! however, Moho is a little weak in applying perfect realistic shadows and lights. If you don't know about vector and raster, you can watch my tutorial about them: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9myVtQj8rgI.htmlsi=wm119uFgbVDOyv4g 2. In the past years, Moho didn't have a feature to export a nice fbx file that can be readable in Unity. When you did that, Unity changed the order of the layers and you couldn't correct it anymore. However, in the last version of Moho they added a script that you can drag and drop into your unity project to fix this problem. But when me and my teammates tried to use that script, it turned out that this new script only works in some certain situations (like it doesn't support all unity versions and if you have applied an effect like shading effect in Moho to your character, you might face a completely black character!). So if you want to use fbx, you might face these problems, so you have to test it for yourself. What I did in my own game, was that instead of fbx, I rendered my project in png sequence format (every animation will be a set of png images). It helped me to create sprite sheets and easily handle everything(when using this method, you don't need to worry about exporting effects and shading because during rendering, Moho will convert all of the shapes and effects into raster images, however, after importing them into unity, you can't change the animations because they're just images). 😁Just to let you know, if you only want to CREATE your character in Moho and for animating you want to use unity itself, fbx will be your only option, this method helps you to decrease the size of the final version of your game. Whereas if the size of your game file doesn't matter, you can go can animate everything in Moho and render them in png sequence format. And since fbx might bring you some problem, you now know that using Moho (png sequence method) will increase the size of your game significantly. So when we're talking about the size and optimizing and the format that we export, Moho is not very friendly with game engines such as Unity, compared to Spine Pro. 😅However, compared to Spine Pro, Moho is so powerful, full of freedom and time-saving. It provides endless features to create your favorite animations. in softwares such as Spine pro, you can not define how your objects react to perspective perfectly, like for headturn, you can only change the positions of the shapes and if you want to adjust their points, you have to do it manually. But in Moho, we have smart bone, it simply means you tell the points linked to a bone how to react when you move or rotate or scale the bone. And after that, when you rotate, move or scale the bone, the points will do what YOU told them to do! this way you can control everything by rotating one single bone and it is incredible! 😉For games, Moho has a feature called action, it helps you to create different actions apart from the main timeline of Moho, which means that you can create actions such as walking and jumping and render them separately. ☺Also, Moho lets you import a lot of images and environments and play most of the animations and effects and see almost the entire game even before you actually start a project in unity! Although you can do the same thing in Spine Pro, handling all of those images and putting them in the correct position is easier in Moho. So again you have to test it yourself to see which one is better for your game. I hope you create a wonderful game for us to play my friend, and thanks for sharing your question with me. ❤

thank you very much for your great totorial and your work! Awesome. Did anyone have the problem before that zooming in and out by scolling the mouse doesnt work? All happens when i scroll is that the my workspace moves up and down.. Having the problem now for over a month and still dont know how to fix it. I am using a mac and a magic mouse.
You're very welcome my friend I have some suggestions that could help you fix your problem: 🟢1. first, check to see if your mouse can actually scroll on other applications. maybe the problem is related to your mouse and not Moho. 🟢2. In Moho, use shift(on mac i don't know what's its name) + right click to zoom in and zoom out. It is important to test this one. testing it will help you check if Moho can actually zoom or not. Alternatively from the bottom of tools window, select zoom tool, which can be found in workspace section. and try to zoom with it to check that as well. 🟢3. Check your settings, as there might be something wrong there. to do it, choose Apple menu > System Settings, then click Mouse in the sidebar 🟢4. Try to unpair and pair your mouse. sometimes this, fixes your problem. to do that, Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Bluetooth. After that, Select the mouse, then click the Delete button next to the mouse name. and then pair your mouse again.
@@modelmananimation thank you very much for your help and suggestions. I tried all that and inside of moho using shift and right click zoom in and out at least works, what can help me sometimes and is better then cmd + and -, but zooming using just the mouse wheel would be great. I do it in other apps like affinity designer and clip studio, but it just doenst work in moho here .. thank you anyways, appreciate your help!
@@ben-y6r This problem that you're mentioning is a known problem☺ 🤔Since 2004, many users have had the same problem with mac until now. but since none of them has reported it in detail, Moho developers have not done anything to solve it yet and they did not take it seriously😅 I would recommend you to record a very short video (less than 25 mb) from your problem and report it to Moho developers through the following link that i send you my friend. 🟢In your report, don't forget to mention these: 🔸1. the fact that there is no problem with your mouse or your scroll in other apps. 🔸2. your pc/laptop model 🔸3. the fact that you CAN zoom with shift and right click, but not using scroll. 🔸4. your Moho version (you can see it if from top, you go to help and choose about Moho) 🙃If you do this, there will be a chance that they fix it in future versions or give you a solution in your current version if it is possible😉 🔗here is the link: moho.lostmarble.com/pages/contact# ☺Wish you a day without "mouse problems" in Moho my friend

I have a question: I’ve made a character & animation for that character. I want to use that character again for a new animation but when the character is imported to the new animation it doesn’t allow me to resize or move the layer in the 0 key frame. I have styles setup for the character I don’t know if that’s the issue. Is there a way to resize/move the character in the 0 keyframe like it would be for the initial character creation? Thanks
Hey, If you're talking about moving the whole character with all bones and shapes and points, one of the best ways is to regroup your character. That'll do the work :)
@@modelmananimation it only allows me to edit/move/resize the character from the 1 keyframe and not the 0 keyframe. Is there anything that I need to reset to edit in the 0 keyframe or don’t import character from old animation?
@@LavishDigitalz By "0 key frame" you mean "frame zero"? You're saying that you can edit/rotate/resize/scale the layer of your character only when you're on frame 1 and not 0. Yes? If yes, then how about when you are on frame 2 or 3?
@@modelmananimation I apologize but yes frame zero. It only works after the frame zero. I would like to edit the character in frame zero as it would be done in the initial creation of the character but it’s not allowing me to do it there.
@@LavishDigitalz First, make sure your layer is selected, then hold down right click (not left click) and drag on "the numbers on top of timeline" from right to left. Do this to move your layer one frame to the left in timeline. This can fix the problem. To know more about how or why we move a layer backward or forward in timeline you can watch this video. watch it from 21:08 to 22:14.

🤔Moho Debut is not as powerful as Pro and most features that I used in this video are not available in it. So, although it is possible to draw the same charachters, it will take more time to draw, and it will be hard to animate them my friend👌🏻
For anyone who's reading these comments, I released a tutorial about creating characters, you can watch it from here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mPWauQ45ZmY.html
@@paladhannaya8571 Can be a little bit tricky. Right click on Moho icon on your desktop or taskbar or wherever it is, choose: propertise Choose open file location To go where Moho is installed. Then go to: Resources> Support>Pro (or Debut depending on whether you use Moho pro or debut)> Character wizard In that folder we have some folders for body parts. Then you should open each body part, replace your own body part that you've drawn with that body part, and save it AS A NEW FILE into the folder of the body part. Like you can open mouth folder, and open one of the mouth files in Moho and replace your mouth with it and save it as a new file into that folder. After doing all this, close your Moho and open it again and then you will have your own mouth in character wizard window. Alternatively, if you don't want to ruin your Moho's original files you can go to edit> prefereces and choose an address for your custom content folder When you create custom content folder, a folder called Moho Pro(or Debut) will be created in that address. Go to it. Then go to Character wizard and then you'll find folders of body parts. And then you can save your mouth into mouth folder and close your Moho and open it again. This way you'll have the mouth in character wizard widow. These are the only ways to have your character's body parts in character wizard window.
Hello, what do you mean by "trace"? Do you mean converting an image layer to a vector layer automatically?😁 If yes, you can follow the steps below: 1. make sure your image layer is selected 2. from top left, go to "Draw" 3. click on "Trace Image..." 4. choose your favorite settings and click on "OK" This way, your image will be converted into a vector layer, which will be created on top of your image layer, and your image layer will be turned off🙂
@@nacergharbi4309 hey, it's just how it works. To rotate, You can use "Transform bone tool" instead, or you can add a new bone and make it the parent of your parent bone. I'll talk about this in my future videos.
