Binding/Unbinding layers

Post by wizaerd »

I imported a Photoshop character, and did a quick rig (bind to layers) to test some preliminary things. I then started adding elements, such as new hands for a switch layer, grouping some things together in Group layers, etc... Now my initial rig need to be unbound, so I can re-bind the layers. But I cannot seem to find anyway to unbind a layer. Is there a way? Or am I better off deleting all the bones, and re-rigging?

Select the layer then click on the bone tab, click on any of the options that you need done.

The only options are Bind Layer or Bind Points. There is no Unbind layer.

As it turns out, there is a menu option only (just found it), and no icon for anything related to releasing or unbinding a layer. In the toolbar is only the Select Bone, Manipulate Bone, Bind Layer, or Bind Points.

I've never heard menu options referred to as Tabs, my apologies for not picking up on that...
