Another Nube Question

Post by nickboyroy »

Sorry again if this is obvious, i'm just getting to grips with the principles and learning as i go.

Is there a way of linking layers together so i can move them all at once?

I've made a character out of scanned images, i have a different image for each body part legs and arms etc. I've assigned them each a bone and sucessfully linked them to a parent bone. If i want to mov my character i have to select each layer individually which is quite time consuming.

Also is it possile to save my character so i can use him in different animations?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, or if you know any turorials i can't seem to find any for this.

Thank you

Nick

You can import anything from any other anme file into your actual project as long as it's the top folder/item in the hierarchy.

move the bone layer they are all siblings of and they will all move together... or move the master bone and all child bones and their attached limbs will follow...
