Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 21 6:06 am)
I believe there is a script over at RuntimeDNA which can control both eyes at once. But that doesn't answer the question. The true and tested procedure is what jester posted, have each eye point at the camera. Just make sure that the camera is set up in it's final position. Better yet, create a sphere prop, point the eyes at the prop, position the prop and then make it invisible. And if you happen to move the camera accidentally, the eyes won't go rolling up into the head. (Frightening thought!)
I think that a script would be best here if you want to control both the eyes and head. My thinking is that you probably want some level of tracking between the eyes and head, say so many degrees of eye rotation starts the head rotating instead. That might work with PointAt but it may look unnatural or comical having both the eyes and head following the camera in lockstep.

Without IK, yes, it will follow the prop. One would need to be careful not to translate the prop and make sure the prop moves with the body (etc. etc.). Seems overly complex.
My thought is this: If you don't mind an extra bit, add a prop near the camera. PointAt the head to the prop (following PhilC's advice about the End Point!). PointAt the eyes to the camera. Now you have control of both the head and eyes. This is a bit more piecemeal as you now have two
'controllers' (to the rest of the 3D world, this is the correct terminology), but you have very precise control of both movements: head and eyes.

Does any one know of an automated way to make a poser figure look into the camera?
I've searched all over the internet with no luck in finding any automated way. I was sure there had to be some sort of a script that can do it, but maybe its more complicated than I was thinking. Anyone know of a way?
