Hello,
I came across this sample project when opening Moho 14, and I have to say, I have no idea how the rabbit ears are being animated. I did not find any bones attached to the vector layers or any physics or dynamic constraints applied, and the vector layer is not animated.
Could someone enlighten me how those ears were animated?
I am talking about this project in the screenshot. I would upload it, but I am not sure if I'm allowed to share the Moho sample projects publicly?
How is this Moho 14 sample project being animated?

Have you tried "show all bones" in the bones menu?

Thank you, that was it! That made the ear bones visible. I was not aware of the hide bone feature.
Re: How is this Moho 14 sample project being animated?
Yes, it's normal to hide bones that are not meant to be directly keyframed by the animator. For example, I use this technique for special offset bones and Smart Bones that drive a hidden network of other Smart Bones. Or bones animated only with physics, like in the bunny.
Tip: I prefer to use Shy Bone instead of Hide Bones for this because this option can be toggled on and off without having to reselect the bones.

Thank you for the additional context, @Greenlaw.
I wasn't aware of shy bones either, so now I know, thanks!
