Interpolation creates intermediate shapes between Switch layer keyframes. Render frames 1 to 24 again - see the difference ? (My apologies to those downloading this on a slow modem - it's a 34Kb file) You can find this setting at the bottom of the Layer Properties box for the Switch layer. Now let's set the Switch layer to interpolated movement Render frames 1 to 24 - you can see the result
Right-click on the Switch layer in the hierarchy and select a child vector layer toĬhange to another frame in the timeline - say frame 10.ĭisplay in this frame - say the "AI" shape.Ĭhange to another frame in the timeline - say frame 20. Make sure the Switch layer is selected so we're looking at the Switch layer Now that you have all your mouth shapes, let's animate between them. Here's the Moho file (5 kB) with a sample set of mouth switch layers in place You can define your own set of mouth shapes, anything from a simple set of closed, partially open, open, up to a full set of 30 or more mouth shapes derived from phonetic studies (the study of the sounds we make when we speak). Move the points to make the mouth appear closed during a renderĭuplicate the default layer to create several other layers, and create more mouth shapes. Let's name this vector layer "default", and use it as a base to create other mouth positions.ĭuplicate this layer and rename the duplicate to "MBP" You can, of course, create more complicated mouth arrangements that provide teeth, lips and tongue. When Moho asks you if you have a data file prepared and ready to use, just say No.Ĭreate a vector layer as a child layer of the Switch layer.Ĭreate a simple mouth on the vector layer - here we'll use just a simple filled 6-point loop, with the corners peaked. So that when we move the head the mouth will move with it.įirst, create a Switch layer like any other layer.Īfter creating a new layer, I like to rename it immediately, so I don't lose track
Now let's create a Switch layer for the mouth, as a child of the head layer, Here I've created a character without a mouth One of the common uses for Switch layers is lipsynch. To the next, if they are similarly structured. Only one layer in the Switch group is visible at a time - as defined by theīy changing the data file for the Switch layer, you can change the sequenceĪs of version 3.5, Switch layers can also interpolate (morph) from one layer Switch layers allow you to define a group of layers, then "jump" between them.
