Solos

This article is out of date! Find the new version here.

A Solo is similiar to a group, but adds the ability to toggle the rendering of nested object. It works like a radio button, so it will de-activate other objects on the same level. This is much faster than having to animate the opacity of each object indiviually.

Creating New Skins

One of the most common use cases for Solos is creating new skins for a character.

Change the underlying rig

Sometimes when we animate an object or character, we need to create animations at different angles. Solos allow us to create multiple rigs and switch between them during our animation.

Frame-by-frame animation

The ability to toggle between many images gives you a quick way to create frame by frame effects.
