Question

Modify folder structure (add left/right views) without losing any rigging/triggers/etc

Hi, 

I guess I made a typical newbie mistake: I started the character with a folder/layer structure for (only) frontal view. Is it possible to add additional views (left and right in my case) without losing all the rigging and triggers from the working frontal view? That would save me a lot of time.

Usually the answer is unforutnately no. Big hierarchy changes means CH doesn't know where the existing rigging should go, so it loses it. In general Photoshop characters tend to be a little less finnicky with this stuff that Illustator files. Happens to me to though - I just had to start re-rigging a character because I needed some extra views. Hopefully we can fix this in the future because I'm with you - it would save me a lot of time!

Got it, thanks! I guess it does not hurt to always have all folders in place right from the start, even if they are not used later on.
