Eye rig questions
-
maybe the XRef is breaking, I guess i will just try to go with the rig as is, and import it directly, not XRef...argggh. already did some animation
-
it might have been some XRef connection, I finalized the rigging on the character and brought it directly into a scene, seems to be working fine. MOVING ON...

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.

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

My best wishes

ok thanks very much for trying

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.

yeah, your movie looks great! wish i could do that ; )
-
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 belongVOODOO

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.
