Layers/shape not responsive to auto binding any more

Post by SimonM7 »

I decided to create a new topic for this.

Two of my layers have straight up stopped being susceptible to automatic flexi binding, and I have no idea why. The anme file is up on my onedrive here:

If somebody could take a look it would be hugely appreciated. I'm stumped and losing my fighting spirit. :(

L arm and R arm are the layers concerned. The rest of the character behaves a bit oddly, too, but as long as I know what's wrong with R arm and L arm I think I'd be able to fix all of it.

Select the vector layer with the problem, select all its points and go to the menu Bone>Flexi-Bind points
That should fix it.

Also, it seems to be the legs where moved by specific bones which don't exist anymore (probably you used the menu "use selected bones for flexi-binging in the past), so, to fix it do this:
- Select the leg layer
- Go to menu Bone>Use all bones for flexi-binding

You can't believe what a relief this is. I've been tearing my hair all day. And yeah, I had gotten pretty far before, but noticed that changing things about the assets as I went along caused a lot of problems. I thought deleting the bones/bone layer would reset all the binding related stuff with it. Clearly not, though. :)

Is there a good way of kinda clearing/resetting all the bone related stuff to defaults, for starting over with a character? For future reference.
