The squash and stretch bone scaling enhancement allows bones to squash and stretch objects. Ideal uses for bone constraints include robotic arms or feet on characters that maintains constraints when the rest of the leg is moving. The independent angle constraint allows a bone to maintain its global angle similar to a camera crane and is not affected by inverse kinematics or its bone parents. The new bone constraints feature will include rigging options that will help set up characters that are more complex and powerful.

Several major enhancements have been made to Moho’s bone features.

Smart Bones allow the ability to control Switch layers, Layer order, Layer visibility, Follow path, Flip layer horizontally/vertically, Stroke exposure, Shape effect positioning, Shape effect parameters (like gradient colors), 3D thickness of vector shapes that have been converted to 3D and even more smart bones controls

Smart Bones not only steps up the quality and realism of the bone actions, but makes it MUCH easier to repeat complex movements and control your rigged elements. For example with Smart Bones you can control facial expressions and head-turning on a character with simple dial movements instead of having to touch each bone point. Group a set of points and use the Smart Bones control levers to create 3D looking motion that you can easily repeat with the turn of a dial.

Smart Bones is an incredible feature that reduces or entirely removes distortion around your character’s joints – specifically around knees and elbows.
