head turns and what not

So here's a question....what would be the best way to animate a character, say, turning toward the camera? Frame-by-frame with a switch layer?

Thanks!

There are a few ways discussed in past posts you can check out to get started....

.... seems to be a common question -and a skill I haven't quite gotten right yet.

Try them out and ask for clarification if you don't understand.

Hmm...guess I did a poor search for this topic. Thanks for the info!

I missed that discussion too.

Right clicking on the switch layer to add a key was news to me. That should be in the help file somewhere.

It is!

Under User Interface; Layers Window; Switch. Ahh, the Moho manual - every paragraph packed full of animation vitamins.

Note: you can also click the Switch layer in the Layers hierarchy panel, choose the Switch Layer tool in the toolbar, and use the timeline and the drop-down to add keys.
