Perfectly round heads question

[rosebudd]

Hi all. New to Character Animator, but not to Adobe Flash/Animate.

I have a cast of characters with perfectly round heads and simplistic features. My first attempt to control my perfectly round head puppet seemed to recognize the shape of my face. My puppet file is a PSD. 

Thanks!

If I understand you correctly, it sounds like you want the head mesh to not distort when animating. Parts attached to the face (and body) will distort that mesh as they bend and stretch. Making the parts independent will allow them to float independently of the mesh.
