Animating Body and Clothing

Here is a problem I am currently trying to deal with that I’m sure has an incredibly easy answer:

I was given a cut out character to animate on Toon Boom Harmony. This is the first time I am working on cut out animation. Right now I’ve understood how to animate my character, however the clothing on my character does not move with the body. I can deform the character’s arms (curve deformation), not the sleeves (only responds to transform tool).

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks to anyone who can help :slight_smile:

Thank you for your help!
I’ll check it out immediately :).

Jon Taylor is working on a Minion character in a series of tutorials. They are simply described yet informative. His character has clothing and the rigging video addresses your question. There are other videos around produced by different people describing more detail or in different words but I believe Jon’s presentation serves as an excellent introduction. I think you will be in a better position going forward having viewed his series first.
