This lesson explores the Hierarchy panel, covering layer management, creating groups, and understanding parent/child relationships. Using groups not only organizes your graphics but also simplifies the animation process by allowing you to control multiple children via a single parent, resulting in cleaner files and better performance.
- Shortcuts: Use
GorCommand + Gto quickly create a group from a selection. - Visual Cues: Layers inside a group are indented in the hierarchy to signify their relationship with the parent.
- Organization: A well-structured hierarchy is essential for complex rigs and state machine interactions later in the workflow.
