      Thanks for the updates, schnoidl.

      I had hoped for more workable details to understand what you want to do, but the last four posts have not included this information.

      Good luck!

        what i want to do? i'm just moving the head, I want the eyes to follow. somehow the eyes are a frame behind here and there. I was using XRefs to the model but it doesn't seem to like that. Where i just merged a copy of the model into the file (no reference) it seems to mostly work, but not 100%.

        my joints are aim-constrained to their targets, which are un-constrained children of a main eye controller, which is an unconstrained child of a null called Eye Rig, which is then constrained to HeadCon+. It seems like the joints should be more directly constrained to the Head but i can't figure out what that requires.

          Hi schnoidl,

          Here is the file, then a project with an XRef that uses that file and a screenshot showing how I can see it. You need to place the textures into the tex folder before opening it.
          https://stcineversityprod02.blob.core.windows.net/$web/Cineversity_Forum_Support/2024_PROJECTS_DRS/20240918_CV4_2025_drs_24_CAed_01.zip

          You had two sets of eyes in it, but you never mentioned it or explained why you added those. I used one pair only.

          If that is not working, please check with tech support:

          I can't reproduce the problem.

          My best wishes

              Hi schnoidl,

              You're welcome, no feedback or anything if the files work on your side. No worries I hope you have more progress with tech support.

              Cheers

                hi, was too much in a crunch for deadline, will have a look, thanks

                i am going to open a ticket with tech support. if you'd like to have a look at my file that's bugging out the eyes, here is a reduced version with no textures. see frame 111.

                    tech support for the win...and just like that IT WORKS, changed the expression priority of the parent constraint from 0 to 10
                    and the eyes stay where they belong

                    VOODOO

                      Hi schnoidl,

                      Thanks for opening a ticket and great that this was easy to solve.

                      I wonder why my file (that I shared above) worked here and not on your side.

                      Anyway, case closed, and enjoy your project.
