Newbie question -- binding switch layer to a bone

Post by jeremyk »

I want to bind the character's mouth, which is in a switch layer, to a mouth bone on the character's bone layer.

When I have the switch layer selected, I can see the bones on the bone layer but I can't select one. I can go to the bone layer to select the mouth bone, but going back to the switch layer and clicking on the Bind Layer button has no effect. At least, moving the mouth bone around with Offset Bone selected doesn't move the mouth.

How can I make this work? THanks!

You just need to do it in this order. Select switch layer, select bind layer tool, select the bone you want to bind, and press space to accept.

Ah! That's it! Thanks!

I'm sure I'll get the hang of this eventually.
