Highly frustrated - Pupils not moving

[Selma29292764eaez]

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to make the pupils of my puppet move for the past 4 days, and since I cannot get this basic thing simply done I honestly wonder if I should continue putting efforts into learning more about this software.

I've watched several videos on the topics - offical ones from Adobe and other from users like myself.

I simply can't get this working.

First thing that I realized is that even though I name the layers following the hierarchy and naming conventions from Adobe the imported puppet is not properly tagged. I learned how to correct that but still no success with the pupils.

Secondly following the advice from a few videos I created an additional layer for the pupil range with a low opacity that I properly tag as such through the text tags but the pupils are still not moving.

I tried a few other things/ have been playing around with many different parameters, still without success. When I compare the naming convention, hierarchy and tags of examples provided by Adobe I really do not see what I'm doing wrong and it has been driving me crazy for the past days.

Any help is much welcomed

Would it be possible for you to export the puppet and use a file-sharing service like DropBox or Google Drive so we could take a look at it?

Hi thanks, I attached the PSD file to my initial post, isn't it public ?

That doesn't show us how the puppet is rigged. Someone can walk you through the process of exporting a puppet if you need help.

It's odd, I can get the eyes to move to the upper left, but that's it. I'll keep exploring the tags.

I have it fixed. It turned out that the origin points for all of the parts were far off center. I'm not sure how that happened. At any rate, once I put the origin points back in their respective objects, things worked properly again.
