Hi! I'm having issues when trying to move the origin to the correct place on my puppet. It's only on the facial features. The origion won't move to the eye for example and when I succed to move it the whole eye moves away with it. Don't understand what's wrong can someone please help me? I restarted the project so I haven't done any rigging to this puppet.

I would zoom out - there should be a blue bounding box around the yellow, and I am wondering if it is off the edge of the screen or something. It might be a hint of another problem. (The default origin position I think is the center of the blue bounding box, so I was hoping you could zoom out to see if there was a massive blue box (zoomed off edge of screen). If so, fix that first.

 

Also, why does Left Eye have a "1" next to it? You put a handle on the layer? That looks suspicious. E.g. The Left Eye layer should not have a Left Eye handle, just tag the layer origin. If you put a handle on it, it may fail to find the child layers with tags.

 

Also, do not have Head inside Head. Call the nested one "Face Background" or similar. It can get confused with multiple heads (some behaviors might not work). 

 

Could you provide a screenshot of the "handles" section of say the Face behavior expanded out? Or Eye Gaze? It shows what layers things bound to, might identify some more issues. (I think you have some, because the blue writing under the image is showing lots of layers with tags that are not used, a sign that it is binding to the wrong things.)

 

If you want to share your puppet, use "Export Puppet" from the menu and share that file (not the PSD file). The Puppet file includes the rigging and the artwork.

Me, too! I aksked and Samurai said to make sure the crown is next to the part but it didn't help me.

Great character!
