## Description

This layer is used to align the Weapon Ik Bone with the Aim Target Bone. This layer uses 2 method to ADS:

* **Absolute**: ultimately overrides the previously applied features.

* **Additive:** applied on top of everthing else.

You can blend between absolute and additive in Position and Rotation Blend properties. It is possible to adjust the blend factor for each rotation and translation axis. 0 means absolute, and 1 means additive.

This is useful for reloading animations, which you want to have some motion while proceduraling aiming.
