Mouth and Eyes don't stay in the head

Post by m0op »

hi.
i've got the following problem:
I made a character and set up the bones of him. but if i try to move him, the eyes don't stay in the head, but they should. the same with the mouth. And also, if i move the left arm of the character, the eyes move! i searched this forum but i haven't found a thread for this jet, so i hope u can help me.
thanks!

Check which bones are linked to which parents. That's what it sounds like the problem is. Select a bone and click the reparent bone tool, and see if they're in a logical hierarchy.

Okay, I checked. The mouth switch layer wasn't bound to anything, and the eye switch layer was bound to the arm bone. You can fix that by selecting them, and on frame 0 use the bind layer tool, select the head bone, and hit the space bar to bind it. Repeat for both switch layers.
