Question

Fixed Stick is not working when combined with face behavior

As you can see in the picture provided, none of the 3 parents are independent, and I put face behavior on Head and Body with different formula, because I want the head movement is not the same as the body; I want the body only to move slightly. There is a fixed stick on the Body to prevent the puppet from floating around because of the face behavior.

 

Here's the problem:

Even though I have put 2 different face behavior with different formula, only the one on the Head layer is used by Ch to treat the entire puppet, meaning the one on the Body layer is ignored (negated?). I assume that's because I does not tag the body as head, yet, therefore the face behavior on the Body layer does not know what to do because there is no head tag.

However when I tag the Body layer as head, the face behavior on the Body layer works, but the problem is now the fixed stick is ignored/negated, causing the puppet to be floating around.

 

Help please?
Thanks!

If you add a frontal layer and put head, body, and hair into it you can get the extra head control. Okay Samurai has a great tutorial here (relevant info at 12:29)

    You would need to put a Head tag on the body (or a child) for the second behavior to find. If you look the behavior proeperties panel there are "Views" and "handles" sections you can expand. It shows the layers it found to bind to. If it shows "0", then it did not find what it is supposed to move. Without the Head tag as you suspect, the behavior won't know what to move.

     

    Why the fixed stick stops working is interesting. I would suggest moving the fixed stick to the root layer (looks like it is on the body layer at the moment). Maybe it does not like the fixed stick being on the same layer as the behavior - one wins, and one loses. Try putting them on different layers and see if that helps.

    Hey Alank!

    Thanks for responding and sorry for my delayed response.

     

    What do you mean by root layer?
