I can’t see the UPPER EYE LID and the LOWER EYE LID is too far up. How do I figure out where to place overlays on the screen…Have I mentioned coding hates me? lol

Sometimes adding commands on the create line caused problems with my overlays, maybe try to divide those?

What do you mean?

&overlay UPPER EYE LID create
&overlay UPPER EYE LID shifts to -40 196 AND overlay UPPER EYE LID scales to 1.3 1.3 AND overlay UPPER EYELID opacity 1 in 0
&overlay LOWER EYE LID create
&overlay LOWER EYELID shifts to -40 -15 AND overlay LOWER EYE LID scales to 1.3 1.3 AND overlay LOWER EYE LID opacity 1 in 0

Like this!

No that didn’t help : /

The lower eyelid is too far up and the upper eye lid doesn’t even show up in the scene

Have you tried spotting them again?

I just winged it and don’t know how to do that…

Go to show helpers, spot directing and move and scale them around :heart:

With the previewer!

I did that and the eyelid overlays aren’t even showing up for me to scale and move… :sob:

Try scaling them to like 0.100 0.100 and and shifting them to 50 50 then see if they appear on screen

Have you tried just separating all of the commands from each other? Like each separate command for overlay instead of using AND?

Write only this - if you clear the overlays, you certainly won’t see them on screen

did you put
@overlay OVERLAYNAME opacity 1?

after that, in you’re in zone 2 or 3 the overlays appear always in zone 1 so you have to drag them from there

yea nada. Still the same with just what you wrote

There is only one zone in that specific scene I think?

Then it should be there if you put
@overlay NAME create
@overlay NAME opacity 1

It’s not even giving me an option to move the lower eyelid to move it and scale it. The upper doesn’t even show up at all. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but hate going forward with issues.
