create smooth joint for bone pair

[Mattyj]

Is it only possible to create smooth joint for bone pair, with one pair of bones rigged to an image? I managed to create a smooth joint for two bones in one of the wings of my character, but I cannot seem to do the same for the other wing?

You can work around this limitation by making a duplicate layer for the second joint, and cropping or masking it. Victor explains here...

Smooth joints for more than two bones - Tutorial

Additional note: Victor uses the Crop Tool in his demo, but if you're using a custom mesh in the setup, you'll want to use a mask because Crop and mesh warping are not compatible. (Actually, I'm not 100% sure a custom mesh will work with Smooth Joint as I've never tried it. It's just something that just crossed my mind while typing this, so if you try it out please post what you learn here. Thanks!)

Hope this helps.
