How to Control a Figure's Eyes in Poser

You can make the 3-D creatures you animate with Poser software to life by learning how to control your figure's eyes so that they can follow moving objects that cross their vision. It just takes a few steps to execute this feature.

Instructions

1. Open Poser and find the character whose eyes you want to control. Select one of their eyeballs and click the "Objects" and "Point To" buttons. That opens up a window that reads, "Choose Actor." Click "Main Camera," and then click "OK."

2. Repeat everything you've just done in Step 1 on the other eyeball of your selected animated character. Move the camera around and watch your animated character follow it, or move your character's body around and notice how the eyes remain focused on the camera.

3. Save the eye movements you've created for your animated character. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for each animated character in your movie and then save your work to finish.

Tips & Warnings

• Polymesh means that you create an animated character over a skeletal structure and then put animated skins on top of it. This kind of animation makes your 3-D characters more realistic.
