Any way I can change layers in an animation?

Post by MrSoHot »

Is it possible to do so? I am not talking about the switch layer/folder but like in the middle of the animation, you want the arm to go behind the torso/shirt. But specifically I am making an actions bone and I wanted it do. Anyone know how to do it?

Hey!
Put your layers in a group or bone, and go to that parents settings panel. In the 'Depth Sort' tab, tick 'enable animated layer order'.

Now changes you make in layer order of the children off frame 0 will be keyframed.
