I have 3 .png images: 1 of a head facing slightly right, 1 of the same head facing forward, and 1 of the same head facing slightly left. What I want to do in Moho Pro 13.5 is to use a smart bone to control which image is visible at a time. So basically simulate a head turning from right to left. Like when the smart bone is 90 degrees, the right facing head image is the only 1 visible. When the bone is 0 degrees, the front facing head image is the only 1 visible. And when the bone is -90 degrees, the left facing head image is the only one visible. I got the idea to try this from the Clay Crocodile animation that Moho sometimes opens with.
Could someone help me with how I would setup that action? Also, does anyone know where that Clay Crocodile moho project is stored (I looked through all the folders in Moho Pro 13.5 but I can't find it)?

Re: Show and Hide image layers with smart bone
You would either put the images in a switch, and have the smart bones animate that, or enable animated layer effects for the images layers, and alternate having each visible at the right bone angles.

Thank you for telling me where I can find the image.synthsin75 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 15, 2022 4:12 am You would either put the images in a switch, and have the smart bones animate that, or enable animated layer effects for the images layers, and alternate having each visible at the right bone angles.

But where could I learn how to put images in a switch (and animate the switch with smart bones) and/or the animated layer effects thing you talked about?

In the menu: Help>Help
That's where you can find the user manual. Or there may be tutorials on YouTube. Switches and layer effects are very basic.
