Hello, if someone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
In this lecture (link to lecture is below) Grant shows the rig layers on the menu sidebar. But when I open up my sidebar menu, none of the rig layers are showing. (Even when I select all the bones/rigs).
I have included screenshots.
I think I’ll be punching a little above my weight class by chiming in on this, but what I’ve found in Blender is, it’s quite easy to do things that cause problems further down the line; those problems are then really difficult to diagnose a root cause of later on because of everything else you do in the meantime, unaware that a problem even exists. As a preventative measure in future, it’s a good idea to start the habit of using incremental saves (just last night, that saved me at least an hour of reanimating!)
I have no idea what might have created this issue for you, but this course curriculum suggests you’re using Rigify, and there are a lot of posts online about this problem happening with Rigify rigs. This link will likely be the most complete solution, as OP links to a few other solutions in there that didn’t work in his particular case:
Hope that gets you a bit further ahead at least!
EDIT: This issue now has a more direct solution. Please see this topic instead:
