Resizing groups with paths
Posted: Fri Jun 30, 2017 5:23 pm
1. Frame zero. The snake follows that path. The paths are animated by the bones of the body.

2. The animation works just fine. The body has a second, masked layer that makes the snake look like its twining around.

3. But if I resize the whole group, the snake no longer directly follows the path, but rather follows some strangely resized path I can't see. You can now see the masked body layer obscuring the snake incorrectly. Also the snake gets shortened. I resized the whole group and the body and its mask layers resize consistently, but the snake on the path gets all tweaked.

How can I control this? I want to be able to resize these layers after I animate them. I know I can use the camera but sometimes I have two groups with path animation I want to resize independently of each other.
