  Problems With Simple Eye Rig

  Posted by Jay Ingles on February 20, 2013 at 3:10 pm

  Hi,

  I’m new to rigging and have 2 problems i can’t make sense of (that i know have been explained elsewhere but still can’t resolve). Most of my problems relate to #2.

  1. How to keep character’s floating eyes on the head as body/head mesh deforms

  I’ve tried adding the eye poly to the mesh weighting and this worked but the Boolean for the eyes messed it up currently i have manually moved/rotated them

  2. How to have them blink.

  My logic was using a boolean (with a Pose Morph ) where a cube removes part of the eye as if it is closing…along with a Y-scale.

  Thanks for any help.

  Thanks Brian. I ended up using a Constraint tag and pinning it to the same head joint you had mentioned.
