- In the previous movie, I showed you how…to take objects and put them onto different layers…and as we started to put those objects on different layers,…you may have noticed that each one of the layers…now contains one of these little triangles over to the left.…That little triangle indicates that you can…open that layer up to see all of the sublayers inside of it.…Sublayers are just basically containers…for individual elements that live within a layer…and you have the ability to rearrange them…and rename them much the same way you do regular layers.…Let's take a look at how we can do that.…
For instance, let's twirl open the Bone layer…here by clicking.…You'll notice that I have a group right here…and this is the Bone at the very bottom.…You'll notice when I select that, it actually puts…a little "Selected" icon next to the target…indicating that that's what's selected.…But, this is all grouped together,…meaning there are several different objects…that actually make up the bone itself…so let's twirl open the group…
