How do I get a bone to move a switched vector?

Post by super8mm »

I want to switch hand gestures using a switch layer connected to a bone that's part of the character's skeleton.

I made a switch layer, place it in the character skeleton group, added the vector layers into the switch layer group. In the skeleton layer I placed a bone over the vector art in the switch.

Didn't work.

You need to bind the switch layer to the hand bone in you skeleton. With the bind layer tool, select the switch layer> select the hand bone> and press spacebar to accept. :wink:
