Shading using masking

Post by nextdreamanimation »

I masked the group layer for shading layer. It doesn't work for animating as it requires binding point that is not possible with group layer. I don't like shading using effect on the right top corner. Please advise!

Not completely sure of your issue, however be aware that bone layers are just group layers with bone support (in fact I rarely use group layers... Why bother when they just give you less options!)... You might be able to rig click the group and convert it to a bone layer. If not, create a new bone layer and drag the layers into it. You will need to set the hide or show all for the new bone layer and everything should be as it is now with the added ability to bind.
