Smart bones to control layer and bone positions.

Post by Poptoogi »

Since getting AS9 I'm really loving the smart bones tool but I was wondering if they will ever be allowed to contol the positions of other bones and control the layer stacking. I don't know if I've ever really explained why this would be so amazing but I tried to in this video. I've never used my dropbox account for anything other than storage and transferring files so let me know if this link works!

Control the layer stacking by moving the layer in z with sort layer by depth in the layer palette.


Save As.....
DEPTH SORT SMART BONE

Just always use linear keys for this particular feature to stop freakiness for now.

Also you will notice that smart bone translation works just fine. :D :D :D :D

Just note that the display view does not refresh until played.
