Hi
Is it possible to show or hide conformed clothing or props in a certain frame during an animation?
Thanks!

Hi. Next to the 'visible' checkbox on the properties tab, there is a key symbol.
Click it toggle the animation parameter.
I think. My memory is shot today. I used to be able to picture the GUIs in my mind.
sigh, pesky ketones.

I thought the 'visible' check applied a global setting, which will be in effect from the start to the finish of an animated sequence. To make something appear in the course of an animation, you probably need to use some tricks with scaling, translation, or animated transparency effects in the materials set up for the item in question. Or render two or more animated sequences and composite them in some video editing software.
Scaling or translating a conformed garment might not work well, if at all, unfortunately....

anything that has a key symbol next to it, can be toggled for animation.

Animating Visibility was a new feature in P7.

D'Oh! It's been added in P7? Well... huzzah! With a

Umm. My apologies....
