In addition to editing the bindings between bones and layers directly on the canvas, with ToonSquid 2.0.13 you can now also edit the bindings using a layer list in the bones effect inspector. This is especially useful for binding bones to group layers.

Quick clarification on vector groups in ToonSquid 2:
You can simply keep the vector group collapsed and treat it as a single vector layer. They work in exactly the same way as before. No workflow changes are necessary!
