I seem to remember somebody telling me that animation layers were buggy. I dont remember the specifics though. Recently the animators here have discovered them and are incorperating layers into their workflow. >>> Any information on whether animation layers are problematic at all would be appreciated as I dont want to endorse the technique until im sure. >>> Best, >>> Enrique >> >> >> >> >
