Invisible layer in smartbone

Post by abd123 »

is there is a way to create an invisible layer in smartbone?
because I tried using the compositng effect on the smart bone it seems to work but then I tried to manipulate the bone in the mainline it doesn't work!

Do you have animated layer effects enabled in the layer settings?

Is the invisible layer either a direct child of the bone layer or has no bone layers with bones inbetween it and the smart bone layer?

This how I made my layers:

I am hiding the left eye, right eye in the smartbone and it works there but not in the mainline

If there are any bones in your Eye bone layer, these will keep the smart bone influence from reaching the Left and Right Eye layers. If you really need bone there, you'll need to relay the Head smart bones to control Eye smart bones, which control the visibility of the Eye layer's sublayers.

ok, I figure out a way around it by creating a smartbone for the Eye smartbone to make the inivisble and visible of the eye and then control it within the head smartbone!
