problems from the begining

Question

Hello,i've started to learn CA with the vidéos of OKAY SAmouraï.When i start with one of his puppets, the head is always following the mouvment of my head, and the coonexion with the bodyBG is perfect.When i produce my own puppet in illustrator, with the + for the independant groups, (i try to name correctly my layers, but i'm working with the french version so i don't know if the tags are working in french - it does for the speakings layers), i try to remove the anchor point of the head, drag it to the green zone on the body as a first step. My head si an independant group, my body is not, i don't really know why it is not workiing... But it never works, my head is never connected to the body, whatever name i can give it to it.Please help. I'm working whith the 2.1.1 version.

If you did want to continue as an independent group for the head, a few suggestions. (But I agree that people often overuse independence.)

Extend the neck up further behind the head so the head has something to attach to higher up
Change the "Head Position Strength" setting of the Face behavior to 0%. The default is 100%, which lets the head drift away from the body.

For your arm, the arm will have an "Attach Type" property. Try "Hinge" rather than "Weld". You may need to adjust the attach point for it to look good.
