Question

Head Turner with Separated Layers

I'm trying to set up head-turner behavior for the first time, but my character has big ears, and one ear is entirely outside of the head group (and behind the body group).  I am able to normally move that ear  to match the head group using the Leader/Follower behavior. BUT when I try to create the head turn poses, I can change the location and size of the ear inside the head group, but I don't know how to manipulate the bottom-layer-ear for size and location. 

 

Thanks for any help.

For those in the future who find this, I found a good tutorial at animationguides that explains how to solve this exact issue (although with long hair rather than my large ears). Spoiler: you just add the head-turner behavior to the separated back layer (a big ear in my project) and  trigger the head and ear together.

Leader-Follower and Auto-swap would be the first thing I'd try. Would it be possible to share the file?

I'd like to, but I can't share the file.  Auto-swap is something I haven't bothered to understand yet, but I will look into that.
