Seperated objects on pupet

You can add new layers inside existing groups or turn single layers into a group and put multiple layers under it. So when you are talking about textures, do you mean adding artwork the the puppet? It is not like 3d modeling where you design a mesh then paint a texture on to it. You just draw what you want, and the mesh fits to in in 2d. much simplier.

Head turns are where you redraw the artwork for whatever angles you want. So you manually redraw the head and glasses etc for 3 or 5 profiles. Again, not like 3d animation where you draw one head and it works it out itself.

To add an object to the hands, put the object artwork inside the hands layer. Put it before the rest of the hand artwork in the layer tree and it will appear 'on top'. You can add a trigger to it so it will be hidden until you press the trigger key.
