So, I've been working on this Science Fiction Space Adventure project for a while now, it's under the name GalactiQuest. It's a long SFM film that has taken me a while to make. Well, I'm having a problem I've never had before.

See, I am using the Sci-Fi assets models, they're great for a Science Fiction adventure. Welp, I'm having a problem with the humans. (Models are here: https://sfmlab.com/item/862/)
The humans' eye controls don't work at all.
For example, watch my video about it:

Is there something I'm doing wrong here? Please tell me, because I really like these models and I want to use them.

Well, that is all for today. Any help, as always, is appreciated.

Just from a brief look at your video it appears as though you rely too heavily on those sliders. Every model in the SFM uses a viewTarget null object in the head group. You'll want to control the eyes that way a majority of the time by placing it near or in the direction of the object you want a character to be looking at and then use the sliders as supplements. If you leave the local viewTarget alone completely, chances are head movement and rotation will make the eyes look as if they move drastically in one direction because the viewTarget's natural position is very close to the head.

Hope that made enough sense for you to figure out.

I did try the viewtarget and it didn't work, but I've tried out some different things and fixed it. Thanks anyways! :)

I sure would like some snow maps from Lost Planet, or even better, scenebuilding props. There may be some snowy props in TheMask's Scenebuild Megapack, just look it up on facepunch.

Wow, hold up, just found something to help you. If this is a little late, sorry, but I started having issues with those models too. Here's the solution, as posted by Lt_C on Facepunch.

"I've run into that problem when doing test compiles. I found that the first time that SFM loads new models, they occasionally start with broken eye and face flexes, with their face stuck in a sarcastic 'eye roll' look. I didn't look too much into it, though, because it fixes itself after saving, closing SFM completely, and reloading the dmx. Never happens again.

I'll admit, it's weird stuff though."

Hmm. That's interesting. I'll check it out.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to use different models in this case. Even then they aren't working.

I'll try these out in a bit to see if they work. Thanks for the help.

Thanks dude! I'm a big fan of his animations. I appreciate the help.

Hi there.
I've been working on a Science Fiction SFM project, and it's an intergalactic war project. I only have one issue: Buildings for Futuristic Cites, and Scenebuild Props to make the surface of a planet.

I just wanna know, what are the building models from this video at 1:16?

And, where can I get similar props for scenebuilds from these videos?
Or, is it a map?

If anybody knows, I would love your help. :^)

So, you need a team to come up with ideas and animate for you? I mean, I don't doubt someone would love to do it, but I suggest you maybe watch some short films on YouTube or read some stories to come up with an idea, and focus on that story. If you need animation help, try to look up some reference videos of movement or something.

If you want reference for human or human-like movement, just go to this channel:
https://www.youtube.com/user/endlessreference
There's reference for a lot of things on there.

And if you don't wanna use that, look at some short films or actual films, study the movement, how the characters act, etc.

I'm still a learner, and I'd be more than glad to help you if I can. Just offering some advice from a glorified noob.

Just give me the details and I'm in. I'd love to do a Sci-Fi short.
