motion effect for the Christmas sleigh with reindeer

[ArjanG]

Hello,

I'm a starter in xLights and I can't figure it out.
Can't find any item in this forum with a solution.
I would like to create a motion effect so that it looks like they are moving forward. Does anyone have any idea how I can do this?


Don't know if you would like to know more information?
Hope you have a solution.

So there are some reindeer models that have extra pixels for other leg positions. You can make them look as if they are running. I’m not sure what to do with your one though. I’m not aware of a good way to do it.

Check and see if there are states defined for the state effect... or if there are submodels. If it's from a vendor, someone may have added those things so you can use state, chase skips, or similar to animate it.
Check out https://www.efl-designs.com/demo-sequences/ and pick "Oh Deer", it's not the same as yours but you can pick it apart and see how it was done.

Hello thewanderingpine,
Thanks for your reaction.
But no, there are no extra pixels to make the legs move.
What I try to do, for example, is to make a movement with a snow effect, but that doesn't work.

Hello merryoncherry,
What you did with the Skid bottom is the effect I was looking for.
Thank you, I'll try it out tonight (Europe time).

Exactly what I was looking for.
