Swap Set face - not tracking eye blinks / eyebrows?

Question

Just working on my first project. For basic use it's working great. But I wanted to add a swap set face—the character is by default grumpy, and I wanted a comical version where he's trying to smile. I have the swap set smile (grimace) working just fine—the Neutral mouth is a slightly frowny grimace, the Smile is barely upturned, and Surprised is just slightly wider and more upturned. This is fun, because I can trigger the swap with the "S" key and perform all those variations with the face tracking camera (rather than having to

Except ... none of my eye movements are working in the Grimace swap set. No blink tracking, no eyebrow tracking (the eyebrows in the swap point slightly upward, rather than the neutral downward), and even the manual left-right looking (triggered by the arrow keys) doesn't work when I'm in the swap.

Any ideas? I see that Properties > Replacements only shows the Neutral blinks, and no eyebrows at all. Not sure how to fix that...

Sorry, I was mistaken. Chloe doesn't have a swap set for eyebrows, just the eyes (lids and no lids). Chloe has so many poses that I sometimes forget what she can and cannot do. Red Monster, on the other hand, has three swap sets for eyebrows.

I don't think the program can acoccomodate swapping the entire face all at once. You might have better luck creating separate swapsets for the mouth and eyebrows. Take a look at the Chloe puppet to see how the eyebrow swap sets are handled.
