Unwanted smartbones action

Post by CyberFilth »

I don't usually use smart bones in Moho 12.5, but I wanted to try out a head/body turn.

The smart bone for the head turn works fine, the straps at each side of the mask change layer order as the character turns their head.
I've just added a separate smartbone for the body turn though, and it's affecting the layer order of the strap on the right side of the mask. There are no keyframes for the head on the body turn smartbone.
Any idea what's causing this?

Layer order keyframes include every layer in the group layer. So having smart bones with more than one layer ordering will conflict, as both include every layer and they are trying to do different orders.

Your best bet is to isolate the head into its own sub-group, so you can order those layers without conflicting with the body ordering.

Perfect, thank you!

I put the head into it's own group, reapplied the layer change keyframes and it works now.
Thanks again.
