Pin Parenting
by matt orf on Oct 25, 2007 at 3:09:34 am

I've noticed that when I start puppeting a layer, it stops parenting. Are there any ways around this? Is there an expression I can use that will have a layer "be parented by" (follow) a specific pin? And I'm working with 3D layers.

Thanks!

Do you want a layer to follow a pin on another layer? If so, you should be able to do it like this:

L = thisComp.layer("puppet layer");
L.toWorld(L.effect("Puppet").arap.mesh("Mesh 1").deform("Puppet Pin 1").position)
