Question

Puppet distortion

Hello, I have been working on a project where I want to animate the head movement of the puppet, and allow the hair to dangle. I can't see to get it right. I have a distortion of the face when I move the head around and I can't seem to figure out why. My pupils are also not moving at all and they should be.

You can try turning on the mesh icon in the scene panel (bottom left i think) - it shows yellow triangles all over the selected layer. You can see how the mesh distorts and which bits do not move. Where it does not move can give a hint which part is getting stuck.

 

I notice you have left/right eye not independent. That is okay (but i normally make them independent too, for cartoon-ish characters). But you have eyeball above pupil? That seems a bit strange to me. I am wondering if the pupils are hidden behind your eyeball layers by mistake.

I swapped the eyeball and pupil, makes sense, but still am getting no eye movement. Not with the camera input or with keyboard input. I'm still not sure what's happening with the face distortion. It seems like something is wrong with the right side of the puppets face, the left side isn't distorting as much.

I meant it seems like something is wrong with the left side of the puppets face (not right)
