how do I move a particle when it's in a bone layer?

Post by cabbage0896 »

How do I move a particle when it's in a bone layer? is it even possible? I'm trying to add smoke to a cigar that's in a mouth layer that's in a group layer that's in a switch layer that's in a bone layer, Whew! can this be done? I grouped each mouth (11 total) with a smoke particle within the switch layer and I want all eleven mouth's to have a smoking cigar, but when I manipulate bones the particles stay still while the cigar and the mouth and body will move. I did check "animate layer effects" with no effect is there something I'm missing or is it just impossible? seems like a lot of depth in the layers maybe it can't be done? what are my possibilities?

Just bind the particle layer to a bone.

Set the particle to free floating for cigar smoke
