Hey everyone, this tutorial just shows you how to create a hood for your characters by using two different layers that are bound to one bone and then how to add a smart bone action to it as well.
It's very easy to do and doesn't take too much time. I'm just long-winded in my explanations sometimes.

I thought I'd make a video on how to make a smart bone action control switch layers. I also wanted to show a quick set up on making a smart bone dial that is set away from the character.

I should also mention if you want to make a visual reference smart bone you can just make it so it just controls a specific switch layer off to the side without linking it to another bone as well.
The reason I made the first example linked to the hand is so that in a busy scene, your control will always be near the hand!

My character was just getting too many switch layers in it so I'm in the process of creating a few of these switch layer controls and I thought I'd share as always!!!

Using smart warp layers with the follow path tool, Víctor Paredes shows us some new possibilities.
