Character animator head wobble, Eye wanders

Report · Jan 13, 2023

Hi,

I play with Character animator a few years back, Finally I have a half decent computer where i can practise and try and make stuff on.

I've watched tutorials, read posts, and I'm still stuck. I figured some problems but I need to figure something out but I don't know what it is.

I hope i'm posting in the correct section, and hoping some one can help.

Ok, here goes.

I've made the puppet in A.I, I used the 'blank' as a template and renamed it as george,

I've used 2 other 'blank', 'mark' templates to double check settings! (didn't help)

Problems I'm having,

1. Eyes,

Both move to the right,

Right eye does not move left, right eye has little movement

Left eye has alot of movement.

2. The head floats above the body, I took something off? I did have it fixed but I'm using a camcorder at the moment as a webcam. If i knock the camera, the characters face floats. The hair doesn't but the face does!

3. The mouth did show up on the middle street in animator, but no longer?! It does show up on the record screen. Which is good.

I'd appreciate any help, or any pointers as my brain is hurting. I'm sure it's probably something simple but I'm not seeing it at the moment.

Sorry for any spelling mistakes.

Turn off the independence (crown icon) for the head - that should fix the floating.

Looks like the mouth and head are working. Are you still having troubles with the eyes? Show us the hierarchy in the rigging panel for the head and eyes.
