Rigging nested layers of imported PSD
Posted: Mon Apr 20, 2020 3:53 pm
I’m spending my lockdown time finally trying to learn Moho 13, and I’m encountering a problem that I’m having a devil of a time figuring out. It’s probably something really stupid and simple like layering order or something like that.
I’m trying to rig an imported PSD file with nested layers that were arranged in the original PSD file. Each layer is a portion of the image. There are three different head angles grouped inside a “Heads” switch layer. The layer order is like so:
Entire grouped image (bone layer)
—>Heads (switch layer)
——>Head (angle view)
————> Eye group (switch layer)
————> Ear
————> Face
————> Ear
The character has long ears. I want the ears to have a little bit of follow-through movement along with the head. I’m able to flexi-bind the main head bone to the “Head” group, and parent the ear bones. But if I try to click on any layer inside that group (such as the ears), the rig and bone controls disappear.
I checked some of the online tutorials and the layering order seems to match. The other tutorials (using imported PSD files) are able to rig the child layers inside of grouped/switch layers. What am I doing wrong?
