can you take a picture of how everything looks when you select the skin and then create deformer?

grand berry
#

Do you mean just the base of the face without any shadows?

nova mauve
#

no, the skin around the eyes you mentioned

#

do you have a skin around the eyes layer?

grand berry
#

I only have the eyelid and eyelashes, etc. In the tutorial, the author says 'skin,' but it looks like he's only moving the eyes.

nova mauve
#

ok, whats the layer you were selecting to create the deformer? was the eyelid?

grand berry
#

I'm selecting the layers through 'eyersmile,' just like the author does in the tutorial — that's what it looks like. I can also provide more detailed screenshots of the selected layers if needed.

nova mauve
#

mmm ok, that selection is not good

#

let me open your video

#

witch minute?

grand berry
#

7.14

nova mauve
#

ok, the issue here is that you have a lot more deformers than her

#

and deformers rig on the same parameter than the deformer or object inside of them

#

thats a thing she does not have

grand berry

#

for example you have
layer Dolna Powieka l selected and the deformer parent selected too

then the deformer Warp Deformer of Oko l and Warp Deformer of Oko l2
are both selected too

#

yes but, the issue here is this
if you are following her video tutorial
you shoudnt have those deformers

#

because she does not have them

#

now that comment you are mentioning there is also what i am metioning too
is a rule of you can not select a child of a deformer you are also selecting

grand berry
#

Maybe I made too many. Should I remove these deformers?

nova mauve
#

yeah, specially if following a tutorial you may want to go as close as they do so you can do the same steps

grand berry
#

Do you know which ones to remove? The ones that are duplicated, right? And then create the deformer again, selecting everything from 'eye rsmile'?

nova mauve
#

was there a reason why they are so many?

grand berry
#

I’m not sure, but until now everything was working. I wonder if removing them might break something, but I can always undo it. I also got a bit confused while following the tutorial and did things differently until it worked, so maybe that’s why some got duplicated.

nova mauve
#

mmm

#

i would personaly say to better undo and try to follow as it is so that make sure you can do exactly as they do
and if something get stuck you can ask here and we can help with that so you dont have to do a lot of workaround that give you a point where the tutorial can not be followed

grand berry
#

Should I try removing the deformers now and see what happens?

nova mauve
#

if you want to, go ahead

grand berry
#

Darn, it’s not working. 😦 So should I start over and maybe ask for help in the general chat if needed?

#

Or maybe I could skip this step and have the 'skin' around the eyes not move? What do you think about that?

nova mauve
#

mmmm in my opinion i would prefer to redo the parameter rig so you dont have so many extra deformers
having a lot of them will slowly take space of you so is better to have only the ones you need

grand berry
#

Okay, in that case I’ll start over. Luckily, I’m not that far into the process yet. Thank you so much for your help! Do you know where it’s best to ask questions later — should I start new threads here or ask in the general chat?
