Description

Rig your characters directly in the composition!

Sticky-Web is a quick and fun tool to make parenting and re-anchoring painless.

It is built to help prepare characters for rigging or animating, without the need to parent in the timeline or anchor one layer at a time.

Added quality-of-life features and minor touch-ups:
- New: 'Undo Sticky-Web' button in the 'Settings' menu. With this, you can cancel Sticky-Web instantly.

- X-Ray no longer modifies the Opacity property; it works by adding a 'Transform' effect.
