Bind Layer Issues

Post by Blue »

I bound a group layer to a bone in a skeleton, but the bone doesn't seem to have the correct influence on the group layer. The group layer doesn't perfectly mimic what the bone is doing. It's not a bug, just my noob failings. Check it out here:

Ok, easy peezy.

Go to FRAME 0.

Select the head group layer. (BigHead)

Click on the icon in the lower left of the BONES toolbox - that's the bone in front of the piece of paper.

Now click on the head bone.

BAM. You've just properly bound a GROUP layer to the bone.

Who's the man? Mikes the man!

I thought I had done it right but apparently not, I think I was doing things in the opposite order. I thought I was following the procedure in the manual...Anyway works!

BTW, Goldfish is fing amazing!

Yes, that's confusing: layer binging has to be done in a different order of steps than point/region binding.
