New Layer and shortcuts...
Posted: Tue Sep 12, 2006 2:08 pm
Sorry if these have been mentioned before, I'm just too lazy to read the hundreds of prior posts... 
1. An "overlay" layer - The purpose of this layer would be to plot out your animations/actions. It would be a quick way of getting an idea down without the clutter of vertices. The stroke of the brush would look akin to, dare I say it, Flash. This would especially be helpful with head turning - the bain of most people's existence here. You could then, trace over the scribble precisely on a vector layer. Simple as that.
So, it'll basically be the freehand tool without the vertices.
2. A shortcut to select a defined group of vertices via number buttons or something, without having to select from the drop-down. Big time saver! Or even a way of selecting the group with ONE click on any vertex in that group, without selecting other 'stray' vertices.
Does any of this make sense, or sound plausible?
