Vitruvian group problem - layer not hidden

Post by djoly »

I’ve set up a Vitruvian group containing 2 psd art layers, 2 mesh warp layers (one for each art layer), and the bones to control the mesh for each layer. After rigging each layer, selecting the parent bones for each and then choosing ‘Make Group’ in the Vitruvian menu, one set of bones disappears (as expected), but the art layer associated with those bones does not (as I think it should).

Does Vitruvian not work when using psd’s with warp meshes, or am I missing something?

It's hard to tell without seeing the file. Is there any chance you can upload it?
Just in case, be sure the image layers are also assigned to the bones (with the 'use selected bones for flexi-binding), maybe you assigned the bones to the meshes, but not to the artwork?

Thanks for the input Victor. I think you may be correct about not assigning art to the bones. I’ll try that when I’m back in the studio and will report back.

Thanks again, Victor. That was EXACTLY the problem; bones not assigned to art layers. Works perfectly now.
