Hi,

I have for a long time wondered, that if I for example want to use = the same=20 puppet tool comp I have animated already, let=E2=80=99s say a character = animation, but I=20 want to now add let=E2=80=99s say a hat on his head, or a briefcase in = his hand (or=20 let=E2=80=99s say a really crazy long hairstyle).
I need the new = layer (let=E2=80=99s stick=20 to the hat example) on top of the puppet comp to just stay in place, as = if it=20 was indeed part of the puppet comp (with deform as an option, for = example solid=20 objects should often not deform like the briefcase.)

So, basically, how do I have a layer object act (stay in place) = like if was=20 part of the comp that is puppet animated but afterwards, as I = don=E2=80=99t want to=20 change the original puppet animation / mesh.

This is of course a = non=20 issue if the object is static inside of the puppet mesh, then I would = just add=20 an extra layer in the puppet comp, but doesn=E2=80=99t work for objects = larger than the=20 mesh.

I have tried things like using an expression to have a layer follow = a=20 single puppet pin number, but that doesn=E2=80=99t do the trick at all. = I just want=20 another layer on top, like if I could add the layer in the puppet comp = but have=20 it invisible so the puppet tool could not =E2=80=9Csee=E2=80=9D that = layer just draw it.

I bet there is an easy way that I just have not figured=20 out.

Thanks
Anders
