Question

I cannot get the right eye to move

I have checked and re-checked the Photoshop file and the Character Animator file and I cannot find the problem.

The right eye does not work - AT ALL. While the left eye works fine. I cannot find a difference between the two. HELP!

It is usually a tagging issue. Expanding the "handles" etc sections of Eye Gaze and Face behaviors sometimes gives a hint (eg did it find the appropriate layers the same in the left and right eyes). I would go through every layer of puppet and check tags on each layer to make sure no stray tags. Also https://extra-ordinary.tv/2018/04/21/debugging-character-animator-eyess/ might help.

Thanks so much for your input but I still haven't been able to figure out what is wrong. I have analized the two pieces - that is the puppet before I changed the face  and after I changed the face, for the life of me I can't figure out why it doesn't work.

 Can you see any differance? Or, should I be looking elsewhere?

Your artwork looks good. The problem is almost certainly in character animator tagging (most of the time a tag was added to the wrong place by accident). I go through each layer in the rigging view one by one and check the tags in the property panel. I click the "a" button to show tag names as text instead of the graphic form. You are looking for a missing eye Pupil range or the word right instead of left etc. Somethong that is different between the two eyes.
