TROUBLE DURING CHARACTER SET UP!!!

I've split my character layers up, added bones to the individual parts, reassembled it and the eyebrows are just floating not attached to the head like the eyes and mouth. But when i click the OFFSET BONE tool to seperate it again the eyebrows are on the head. What the hell is going on?!? I need help, plz.

We'd really probably need to see the file on that one. Anything else would be blind guesses. Can you explain 'floating' better? Do they just say still when you move the head?

Yes, they stay still when i move the head. The eyebrows do not be attached to the head. Leaving my character without eyebrows when i reassemble the character

If the eyebrows are a group layer (most likely) then you need to select that group layer and use the Assign Bone tool to it (just click the head bone) on frame 0.

I'm assuming they don't have their own bones. So it sounds like they need to be point/layer bound to the head bone.

I'll give it a try. I just don't understand when i assigned the bones to the individual layers, the mouth and eyes layers stayed on the head after i put them on it. I did the same with the eyebrows and they don't stay on the head. Maybe i'll just reassign the bones all over again.

I was experiencing the same problem, finally I find the solution!! The Asing bone worked pretty well xD

Thank you very much, Mkelley!
