Coloring bones

[heyvern]

This may be a no brainer but I just started to use this.



I just create a simple vector layer and bind "bone shaped" shapes to each bone. It works like a charm and now have the benefit of color coded bones.

If you make the layer slightly transparent it works really well.

It takes a little extra time but not that much. The shapes don't even have to be so "exact" either. A simple rectangle would work.

This would actually be a good feature request for a future update/version of AS Pro. I think color coded bones would be a great idea. Maybe even something like Final Cut Pro "labels" that have a certain color and you can put a label to it like "control bone", "hold bone", "rotation bone" and such. That way you can tell right away what each bone in the rig is used for...this would be especially helpful in a production environment so the animator(s) would know where the control and hold bones are versus actual rotating bones in the rig.
