Character Eyes Won’t Move Correctly

Hi,

 

My character's eye movements aren't working correctly. I copied the structure from an Okay Samarai character just added my own art inside the layers but I cannot get the eyes to function the right way. When the character looks in either direction the whole eyeball moves and the pupils aren't moving independently.

Hi Watsons. Alan's link is great however my puppets aren't quite as evolved. So here is my simple structure. Alan is so right about paying attention to the structure. Also pay attention to how CH links you layers to the puppet in the Rigging section. Hollar back if these posts don't help enough.

    In case helpful, I wrote up a blog on how I diagnose eye infections. They are unfortunately rather common - but once cured they rarely come back! https://extra-ordinary.tv/2018/04/21/debugging-character-animator-eyess/

    Hello,

    Can you check "Pupil range" of your puppet?
    Do you place Left or Right pupil tag to the origin of pupil layer?
    In your screen shot, both Eye group and Pupil layer have some handle. Do they have any tags?
    If you make Left and Right eye group independent, does it help?
