I definitely haven't seen animation layers anywhere in this program or in the documentation, so I'm assuming they aren't in messiah. Has this been discussed as a possible new feature or request? It's something I find pretty invaluable in a program that actually supports it. ;) Keytrack was a lifesaver in lightwave. ;)

This has been discussed some time ago, and pmG might look into this, but I have no idea when we could expect to see something...
You *could* use compose to make animation layers (clips), but you could only work in the motiongraph under compose, and since it doesn't behave like in animate and since you would have to select the items and channels on the clip itself, this would be rather counter-intuitive...

Thanks for the reply, maks. ;) I was just curious. It's one of those things that really seems to add a new dimension to animation to me. You can keep things so much more organized. Oh well...maybe some day. ;) Is this something that could be accessed through the api?
