3D Compositing
Important:
The children of 2D groups are
always
composited in layer order.
If you were to move Group A below Group B in the Layers list, Group B would be
rendered on top of Group A.
The Layers list also shows object relationships in terms of
parenting
. The parent-child
relationship is displayed in the Layers list through the use of indenting and disclosure
triangles.
