Animation layers

There is now a third editor in the Channel Box that lets you work with layers of animation. The Animation Layer Editor gives you all of the tools and options you need to create and manipulate animation layers.

Animation layers let you create and blend multiple levels of animation in a scene. You can create layers to organize new keyframe animation, or to keyframe on top of existing animation without overwriting the original curves.

New options for animation layers have been added to the Bake Simulation Options. You can use these options, such as Smart Bake, to specify how you want to bake animation layers.
