I am exasperated and frustrated as hell and have been fighting this too long!!!

How do you get your DAZ character(namely V4 for me) to look directly into the camera?!

Or at least towards the camera so it appears she's looking directly at the viewer?

Someone gave me some info how to do it or how he did it months ago, but I never did understand it. It seemed waaay too complicated for something that should be simple.

The basic way I've tried to do it is get the direction or angle towards her I wanted and then create a camera with the Perspective View option. I've tried it with & without the  Persistent Point At Target(Null). And the Default option at top of Create new Camera.

Nothing friggin works! Regardless of what Ido, she's always looking off to one side or the other when using any given camera. Like she's gazing over my right or left shoulder just a few inches, but never directly towards me, eye to eye.

What little I remember from what the person here told me sometime last year is that I need to create a series of Nulls all in line with each other aimed directly towards me.

In other words, a Null for a Null for another Null, for another Null for...

Seriously now, is that what you have to do whenever you pose a V4, Genesis or other character towards you like in a portrait? How do you do it when you want to make a portrait, pinup or whatever with your characters here or at DA and have them looking directly at you?

And if I create a Camera "Target" for her eyes to point to instead of the cameras themselves, that just makes her eyes or eyelids to droop down to the side far away from where the camera is or supposed to be.

There are a lot of people I'd ask here at Rendo, except most of them seem to be using Poser anymore, which doesn't help me. How do you do this in DAZ?

I spend all night sometimes trying to get one image to work where I have direct eye contact. Four, 6, sometimes 8 hours of trial and 99% error trying to get one that works! Sometimes an entire night & morning spent with no success, adjusting her body in Parameters and banging my head against a wall! I'll try the Camera vantage & Pan & Orbit controls to move her body around to point the eyes at me. But her eyes don't stay on me for more than a second before they settle or slide to the right, left, up or down. Why is it so damn hard?! What am I missing here?!

It's about 5 a.m. here. Do you know when I started working on this last pic? 9 PM last night! Still no success!
