You now have the ability to toggle the visibility of layers in the Bone Collections section within the Data Properties.

Layer 1 - IK, COG, Move All
Layer 2 - FK
Layer 3 - Shape/Tweak controls
Layer 4 - Face controls
Layer 5 - Tongue
Layer 6 - Fingers
Layer 7 - Hair
Layer 8 - Clothing

On the upper right side of the Bone Collection window, there is an option to create your own collection by clicking on the Plus icon. You have the ability to choose controls from various groups and add them to your newly created collection by clicking the Assign button located at the bottom of the window. Once you have finished, you can click on the star icon next to your new Collection to display only the items you desire.

Hope that helps!

Bro is underrated Bob Ross of blender. I love how calm and slowly you talk. Gives me a sense to not rush anything and there's always enough time.

I started studying animation this week and I was lucky enough to find didatica has helped me to understand and want to study animation even more. The part you talked about technique x personality made me put my anxiety aside. Thanks!

[alexanderhoangle]

Helped me perfect my first walk cycle and couldn't have done it without you. thank you so much for the tutorial, love the way you teach to think methodically and going at it one area at the time.
Still got long ways to go, but you've given me the tools to start thinking and seeing the world from a animation perspective. The simple dragging, delaying and off setting the timing makes things look and feel so organic. You did amazing showing and explaining why you did all the small changes and why it reacts that way, never felt confused at all. Thank you again!

These are like the best tutorials truly. First walk cycle I did had so much popping, couldn't figure out how to fix it. But this shows so many tips and explains why certain things like popping happen. It's so good! Thank you

You have a calming personality. I really appreciate it. Beginning animation feels so intimidating and seeing AAA stuff constantly makes me feel like I'll never make any progress.

Making my thesis currently and came up to this amazing tutorial! You helped me make my 1st ever walk cycle of one of my characters! I've been trying to apply your workflow on quadruped characters, but I'm really struggling. Would be awesome to have a walkcycle video for quadruped characters! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!
