Transfer the regging information to the drawings

Setting the regging up in Director

Transfer the regging information to the drawings

The regging information has to be stored with each drawing, so that the ImageProcessor and InkPaint know that the drawings use regging, and how to process them. When there is new information to store, the columns become darker.

You can store the information by selecting the Register To node, opening its Node Properties window, and clicking on the Save Reg into Drawings button.

If you don't store the information, you'll be warned when you next save the scene.

If the information you're saving means that image processing and/or painting will be removed from drawings (see Changing a regging below), you'll be warned and given the choice not to transfer the information.

Automatic creation of reg drawings

There must be a separate reg drawing for each frame in which lines are copied from its reg-to drawing(s). When you save the regging information into the drawings, Director also duplicated drawings as necessary:

If a reg drawing is on a hold, but its reg-to drawing changes during the hold, Director duplicates the reg drawing using the same timing as the reg-to drawing.

However, if a reg drawing is changing while its reg-to drawing is on a hold, there is no need for duplication. Each reg drawing receives a copy of the held reg-to drawing.

If reg and reg-to drawings are changing with the same timing, again there's no need for duplication. Each reg drawing receives a copy of the corresponding reg-to drawing.

Note that a "change" can be through inbetweening (i.e. a change in pose) or through movement (i.e. a change in position).

Any duplicated reg drawings are given the suffix "+n", where "n" is a number. They appear in the XSheet as soon as they're created.
