Just a bit of tip with quick select child layer swtich layer in Moho

[Panha]

I have seen many tutorials on how to create smart bone for switch layer and tried to follow those tutorials. They were great tutorials. However, there is a another quick, and really help allot. I found it on YouTube about Moho tips, but I forget the title of the video. However, I may know this later than many people using Moho, but I just want to share it here in case there are some users who may miss this.
If we put the mouse hover on a switch layer, for example mouth, hands, etc, then hold Shift+Alt+right click on it, we can quickly select the child layer from the right click menu. We can do this without going into switch layer. Whatever layer we are on, as long as we hover our mouse on the switch, hold shift+Alt+right click, we have the child layer right in on the canvas on the mouse position.

7 Ways To Moho Switch Layer! Switch Layer, Pt 1: Switch Layer Pop-Up (5:50)

This was the method I used years ago (Puss-in-Boots, King Julien, The Croods) when I started using Moho at DreamWorks Animation. Nowadays, I use the Switch Selection window because it's more visual, but selecting with the pop-up is still more direct when you name the layers clearly.

I'll cover more Switch Layer tricks in an upcoming tutorial about lip-sync animation.

Ah, that video! It's yours. I remember. It is helpful, and every Mohoer should watch it. It contains many information that we all may miss. Before that video, I was figuring out how to make switch layer quick and easy. I tried smartbone to control, but it still required many clicks to do. Then I tried Smart Actions for all my hands, but it still needed to move mouse outside the canvas where I was working, so finding your video was very helpful to me.

Yeah, even though I mainly use Select Switch Window now, there are still valid reasons to use any of the other methods shown in the tutorial.

One reason I make these tutorials is so I don't have to remember all of them.
