Layer To Bone

Post by Rappybas »

Hi,
I have a question.
How do I connect a layer to a bone?
I tried to put the layer in the bone 'map' in the right under corner.
but when I rotated or moved the bone, nothing happend :S
How can I do this?

Or is there any tutorial? :D

Select the vector layer you want to bind in the layer window. Cick on the Bind To Layer tool in the tool window. Click that tool on the bone you want to bind that layer to.

Thanks, It works.
But it only works when I press Z to 'manipulate' the layers.
Not when I just rotate the bones :S

Rotate Bones in frame 0 rotates the bones independent of anything they are bound to so you can reposition them relative to the vector layers.

To have Rotate Bones also move the bound layers, you must be in any frame other than frame 0.

Ok Thanks! :D
So frame 0 is actually the set-up frame, wich won't be viewed in the animation?

That is correct. Animation starts with frame 1.
