All-in-one suite for mic-only lip-syncing characters! · By
Hey there! I just got the Honk program and I've been having a blast with it! The only problem I have though is that I am having trouble understanding how emotes work. I was under the impression that if you change the emote that you would need to change the layer/sprites for that emote but when I did that, it would change the images for other emotes. I was wondering if a tutorial would be added for this or some documentation?
This took some trial-and-error for me, but I think i got it figured out:
When you create a new layer and set your base sprite, click on the layer name in the bottom right so the sprite is highlighted, and the emote selection will become a select/deselect toggle for which emote slots that sprite will appear in. In my setup, my neutral expression is in slot 1, so my base and blink sprite are in one layer and assigned only to that slot, and other expressions are set up the same way in slots 2, 3, 4, etc. Then all mouth shape sprites are on their own layer and apply to all emote slots
