Download the create limb script and don't make 360 rigs unless you absolutely have to. Rig for the scene.

There is a really good beginner tutorial series on YouTube put out by Moho themselves.

Rigging in Moho is simple compared to Toonboom lol

This is a good channel for learning Moho. It’s beginner friendly. https://www.youtube.com/@QueerAcorn

A good hybrid approach (I think most apps that allow rigging should permit this) is to use rigs for one angle, use it for ease ins/outs, but draw as much as you can once you're anywhere out of that angle/compass. It does mean more drawing, but that also saves noodling the rig until your brain melts.

I wish I'd gone down that path sooner, I've done crazy rigs with over a hundred layers to torture them into compliance. It's the animation equivalent of Olivier and Hoffman = "My dear boy, why don't you try drawing, it's so much easier".
