get the gradient to follow the shape and bone

Post by psamuels »

I have drawn an oval and put in a gradient (this is just a test, which I have done successfully in the past), then made a bone layer and parented the oval layer to it. Then selected the points of the oval and clicked the Bone Selection tool. I have selected both the Bind Points tool and Bind Layer tool and clicked Bind Points button. Then I have moved the image to a new position along the Time Line. When I animate, the image moves to the appropriate position, but the gradient disappears, I only get the fill animated. If I manually slide to any position along the timeline the gradient will be there when I stop. Can you tell me what the heck I doing wrong? Thanks

Gradients, like image textures, rely on bone strength to be manipulated.
