Yes, this too is Under Construction... Only the text at the moment. Patience, Grasshopper. |

Lost
Marble's Moho has been my favorite piece of software for 2D
animation, bar none, for the last few years. With their introduction of
Moho 5, and the addition of a scripting interface, it can't be beat.
Which is the reason for this page. I've written
a number of scripts, some modifications of tools existing in Moho, some
fresh. Here they are. And please forgive some of my silly names. All the
scripts are packaged as .Zip files with their icons and can be unzipped
right into their appropriate folder.
In lieu of proper help files (which I hope to get to someday) I'm including links to the posts where they were first presented on the Moho forum at Lost Marble.
At the bottom you can also download the whole package,
with instructions on how to set them up with their own section in the
Tool Window, as well as keyboard shortcuts. And, shortly, a help. Gimme
a minute on that.
Also - there are no warranties of any kind throughout the history of the universe for this software. If a project evaporates or your computer turns into a glowing pile of radioactive slag, it ain't on me. That out of the way, there some pretty nifty tools here and I've tried to test them to distruction before I put them out there, and for the most part should be nice and stable..

And, if you find any of
these tools useful and wanted to send a buck or 2 my way, who am I to stop
you? But only if you really want to. |

Tools
|
|
|
|
|
|
Universal Point Tool
v1.3
|
|
A one-stop compilation
of many of the most used point manipulation tools. Selection, tanslation,
scaling, rotation, and adding points. A trick or two not in the originals
- for both the scaling and rotation you can change the center for the action. |

Universal Layer Tool
v1.2
|
|
Translate or rotate a layer
in any dimension, or change it's origin. You can also repeat the last rotation
or translation. The repeat translation is particularly handy if you are
using actions to create walk cycles and such. |

An extension on the existing
Magnet tool, You can select the particular points you want the magnet to
influence. As well as a different way of deciding how and how much points
are moved. |

|
Move the tool along a line,
and the line width will increase (or decrease) with each pass. A simple
way to vary line weights, particularly if you don't have a drawing tablet
with pressure sensitivity to use. |

|
|
Full point selection in
the Curvature tool. Select a set of points and go nuts. Or select one or
multiple points and set them all to a specific curvature value |

If, in particular, you
are using the Orbit Workspace tool, it can be a bit of a pain to go to the
menu to bring you back to the regular view. Simple button to get you back
there. Included in the 7FeetView package below. |

|
|
|
Orbit the workspace, and
be able to save and recall 4 separate views. Flip easily between the camera
view and the orbit view. Works with the 7FeetView package just below. |

A set of 10 tools. The
first is Orbiter (above). The rest are a set of button tools. The first
simply resets the view. The next four allow you to go directly to a top
,bottom, front or rear workspace view. The last 4 allow you to recall views
that you've saved in the Orbiter tool. And an add-on for the _tool_list
file so everything works proper. |

A bit of an overhaul of
the existing tool. Added a display of where each shape is in the depth order,
and threw in a function to let you move forward and backward in the depth
order, selecting each shape in turn. |

|
|
Shows you a count of the points in a Vector layer, either all of them or only the ones selected. Particularly handy for checking that all of the sublayers in an interpolated switch layer have the same number of points, or to check how complex an imported vector (.eps or .ai ) file is. |

That ain't the last of 'em, but
its all I'm happy with at the moment.

Coming Soon!

Gah, dontcha just hate
that? Sorry, but I think that most of the menu scripts that I've written
are in need of a tuneup. Soon, I tells ya! Okay, maybe 1 or 2... |

MohoCam
v1.3
|
|
Export your camera moves to an outside program. It is based on a file format created by Michele Sandroni, and requires his Camera Converter scripts to get the Moho camera data into the other applications (Maya, Xsi, or 3DS Max). If you have Maya, you can also use it as an intermediate to import the camera data into After Effects for compositing. |

|
|
The companion to MohoCam. Allows you to bring any compatible camera data back into Moho. |

Simple OBJect Shader
v1.01
|
|
Allows you to "bake" shading onto an imported 3D OBJect based on it's diffuse material colors, inside of Moho. Lots of options to set up how you would like it to look. |

A pretty simple solution to do lipsync im Moho. Requires the Linguistic Information Sound Editor from Microsoft (free) to do the automatic phoneme detection and encode it into a special type (.LWV) of .Wav file. Myna can then pull that data out of the sound file, either setting keyframes directly in Moho, exporting a Switch Data file, or both. |
