Vector Layer action not working

Post by boygordon »

Hi,

I've run into a problem with a vector layer not responding to its action keyframes in the timeline.

I have a character tail group, the artwork has a few layers and uses masking. I've made an action for one of the bones, and keyed the layers to respond as the bone is rotated. So far so good. The main shape layer responds and deforms as expected when i test the bone. One of the layers though, does not deform using the action keyframes when i test the bone. It seems to be ignoring the action keyframes and acting as normal.

I've checked and cant find any stray keys in another action, and no other bones are influencing the layer.

Any ideas what the problem could be?

Thanks

Without seeing a file or even a screen cap with relevant info, it's hard to say. Can you at least post a stripped down project with only the relevant bones and the layer? Even just part of the layer with no shading is fine if you don't want to share too much, so long as it illustrates the problem.

In your action, your point motion and curvature animations channels are muted for that layer.
