I have a more advanced way of animating, or that's how'd I wish to animate,

I'd like to make an advanced head turn? Body turn? I'd just like to turn objects in different ways.

Like say for example you have a hand palm then it turns over to the other side.

This and many other turns like a side ways facial view (profile) is hard for me to acomplish. How to do this with the vectors?

And no, I don't want to use switch layers, I think they are easier but the action is too snappy and I don't like that.

There's no single answer to this. You'll use different methods for a head turn, body turn, or flipping a hand. It's best to learn different ways so you can decide the most appropriate method.
