Bind to layer, points, or regional flexi binding?

[wizaerd]

I'm curious as to what method most people do in their rigging, whether it's bind to layer, bind points, or the normal flexi-binding? Or is it really a case by case basis to determine the best method?

Depend on the case here, but I like point and layer binding better most of the time, more control, or more predictable if You will, at least as as far as I am concern!

For me it all depends on the type of character and the situation. Actually, I can't even remember only using one type of binding for a character. Most times there is a mix of all types of binding. Sometimes I only need point binding, sometimes flexible binding, sometimes both on the same layer.

Since 9.5, I prefer to never bind an entire layer, because the layer (and everything inside it, if i'ts a group, bone, etc) can't be controlled by smart bones.
So normally I work with both (use selected bones for) Flexi-binding and point binding.
