Making my first model and want to be sure I keep everything as easily transferable to live 2d as possible!!Do I need to separate shading from all parts of the model? I know hair shadows are meant to be on their own layer, but what about body shadows?

@compact goblet If the shadows are when layer A is casting a shadow on layer B when layers A and B move separately, then it should be always separated
If it's just shading on a layer that isn't a shadow coming from a different independently moving layer, it can stay merged in 90% of cases

Also depending on who is rigging, if layer count may become an issue, merge whenever possible
