Cage a unified layer
Section titled “Cage a unified layer”Create and commit a cage with multiple layers selected, CoyKoi will make a Unified layer, so you can deform multiple layers with one cage.
The child image layers can still be deformed separately, but child layers do not need a cage.

Bind all layers that would rotate with pose.
