Smart bones only allow for 2 actions per bone.

Hi sillyanimate— Make sure that the layers you want to bind are in the bone group you want bound. You can bind layers or points depending on what you're doing. Each method has different uses. http://oi66.tinypic.com/sb0c93.jpg The bind layer/points option will appear in the top bar. Does that help?

The drop shadow method sort of works. Here's my first trial with it:



It looks like the shadow is still visible as a distortion outside of the circle when the mask isn't activated.

Thoughts?

Correction: I was on v10.

I am not sure this is what you are looking for but this might help :D Thanks for the help, sillyanimate :D , but that feature isn't quite what I'm looking for. Not really possible, unless you do it the way you're already doing it. You could use a white layer shadow instead of lines and enable 'Clip...

When you reparent bone dials it changes their default angle to that of the parent bone's coordinates (instead of the layer's coordinates). To fix this, you will need to update all the smart bone actions by rekeying the bone dial rotation keyframes. As a general rule, you want to do all of your smar...

Is there a way to mask only the stroke?

For instance, a character whose outlines only show up when elements are crossed as illustrated in my (crappy) demo.



The demo was made using two layers for the arm (one with a stroke, one without) with the body masking the with layer.

Thanks!

I'm trying to attach the bone dials to the model. I probably haven't explained the problem very well. It seems that the parent bone is causing the dials to skip half of the states that they control. For instance, when parented, the bone dials stop working when turned past a certain angle and resume ...

Sorry for the delayed response—thank you for your reply.

The method you describe is the one I was using when I encountered the error. I've since had success with another model, so I can only assume that it's something else... The bone dials are still erring when bound to any other bone.

I'm very new to ASP; just bought v10. I'm having trouble anchoring bone dials to a character. I've tried attaching them directly to the rig and attaching them to an intermediary bone (with and without independent angle applied to the intermediary) and I keep getting the same result: The dials skip s...
