Automate imported image seq = smart bone

Post by cartoonmonkey »

Is it possible to automate making a switch layer work sequentially with a smart bone, rather than having to set it up each time?

That is, I import - image sequence, -make a smart bone, then right click the folder, for frame one, right click for frame 2, etc..

Any way to automate that process?

Oops, let me clarify.
I'm using AS to do switch layer lip sync. I import a png sequence using Scripts - Import image seq.
Then I delete all the keyframes from the layer that get added automatically.
When setting up my smart bone to control the switch layer, I must adjust the smart bone rotation to equal
the number of imported .png's, then I proceed to create the steps for the switch layer, by right clicking on
the folder for the imported image sequence. I have to do this for each successive mouth position.

So my actual question presented a bit more clearly is:
Is there any way to automate the making of a sequential switch layer for a smart bone?
