Warp all layers in a group folder at once?

Post by tinytaboo »

Does anyone know how to warp (skew or mesh) all layers that are contained in a group folder all at once? Ideally, I would like to simply apply a warp to the top folder and have it affect everything inside. Example..I have an eye group folder with lid, pupil, white, lashed, etc inside that "eye" group and I want to skew it all or warp it all.
Thanks

I don't think a mesh works at Group level -- but the same mesh can be associated with all the child vector / image layers.

hayasidis, that's good to hear. I am still lost on how to apply this same mesh to all layers.. when I shift select a bunch of layers and attempt, it will only let me apply to one . Is it a matter of opening the properties windows and selecting some "apply to all" option? (I don't see that option but.. I'm thinking it's something like that ?)

In your group layer - assume you have a warp layer plus several vector layers.
select ONE vector layer and open the Layer Settings / Vectors tab
Now select ALL the other layers you want to share the same settings
Now choose the name of the warp layer from the dropdown and press Apply
et volia!

(no need to check the copy to all unless you're changing something like line noise...)

For now @hayasidis has the solution for this. However, I have requested this as a new feature, Mesh Group, to Moho. I hopes we can see this new feature in the future.
