Parenting across compositions and puppet pin issues
Posted: Tue May 12, 2020 7:58 pm
Hi
I am just animating a cartoon I draw, it's a worm. I am trying some different ways to get a 'bendy/rubberhose' look to the character... it works fine until I try to parent a layer within a comp. I have tried this a few ways and always appear to get the same result – I am rigging a drawn psd image in a comp layer with puppet pins. Having rigged the shape using bones/a custom structure it bends fine ... On parenting one of the layer in the comp so i can rotate the head of the worm without distorting it, it breaks. I have included a video, the break occurs roughly at 12 mins in. I have attached a still of this – many thanks for anyone's help/advice in advance!
FYI – the head rotate only breaks when using it in conjunction with the Controller built with puppet pins/bones
