When I tried to import the SVG to Debut, however I got nothing but a broken image layer. In AI, it looks like AI preserved the vectors. TBD.įinally, I tried the vector art converted from Fresco to Illustrator and saved as SVG. Will have to experiment with this as I have time. This makes me think this broken PNG is a Fresco error. What was surprising to me was that I couldn't open the PNG in Moho either, but when I tried to open the Fresco PNG in XnView (an image browser) XnView didn't know what this was either. AFAIK, Debut should be able to import a PSD as a single merged layer, just not as individual layers like Pro can. In Debut, you're right, the program could not see the Fresco exported PSD. Quick follow up: I ran a couple of simple tests this morning.įirst, I launched Moho as Debut to see what the limitations are.įrom Fresco, I saved a PSD, a PNG and sent the file to AI so I could save an SVG. It's not nearly as robust as the PS script but it does the job.) (If you use Krita, this program has something similar built in. When importing the PSD format, Moho will only include the RGB(A) bitmap data, and in Debut you can only import a merged layer (you need Pro to import separated layers.) Personally, I prefer to use PNG exported with a third party script called Photoshop-Export-Layers-to-Files-Fast so I can avoid some of the issues that come with PSD interchange, but I don't know if this script works with Fresco. (Hayasidist has an excellent Bake To PNG script for this.)įor mesh deformations, point count and placement does matter but it's not as critical as when using bones for deformation. This is useful when you need to zoom in or out of the image and you wish to preserve resolution independence, but in some situations, you may consider baking the images to a bitmap to keep Moho speedy or when you need to deform the images with a mesh. This is because getting really nice deformations with bones depends on having the optimal number of points and placement in your shapes.īut if the vector art is meant for backgrounds or props, the point number and placement really doesn't matter. IMO, it's best to use Moho's internal vector tools for any shapes you want to deform using bones, and to a lesser extent with meshes. A specific version of the AI format also works but I believe SVG is preferable by most Moho users. I don't know if this is available with Fresco but will check it this afternoon. In general, if you're exporting vectors for Moho, you should use SVG format. I haven't used Fresco much yet but will check out the export in a bit.
