Question

Character Disappears unless my head turns to the right

I used the Make A Puppet character WATTS, exported it to Photoshop and added +Left Quarter, +Frontal, and +Right Quarter layers. The rigging imported correctly to Character Animator, (the blue face icons highlight when I click on each layer) and there are "no issues found". I added Head & Body Turner, controlled by head rotation. Each face layers has a number ONE in the Behaviors. When I go to record, the background is there, but the character is not. But if I turn my head to to the right, the character appears with the +Right Quarter face showing. The body and head move with me, but the only face which appears is the +Right Quarter face, and the moment I turn my head to look forward at the camera, the entire character disappears. I calibrated the webcam looking forward, and it did not help. I calibrated it looking left, (to overcompensate) and now I can look forward and the character appears (but still without turning faces) and if I turn my head too far left it will still disappear. I am greatful for any suggestions. Thanks!

Can we see an image of your rigging hierarchy?

To save time, I just wrote LEFT, FRONT, and RIGHT on each of the faces in Photoshop to make it clear what you are looking at.
