Working on my first animation, and earlier I joined the eyeballs to the head. So I want to separate them now, but every time I press P to separate them, Blender freezes up.
Any idea why? Is there a fix for this? I have shut down and reopened Blender several times, but it keeps happening every time I try it again.
Make sure you are not pressing P while in object mode. This will put you into the game engine rather than the separate option.
Ha! That’s exactly what I was doing.
Do you know how I can separate them, though?
I pulled the eyeballs out of the head, and although I used P to separate them, in object mode moving the head still moves the disembodied eyeballs as well.
go into edit mode and then press p
Eyeballs moving with the head:
You’ve probably parented them to the head. In Object mode, select the eyeballs and use [ALT][P] to unparent them (use the keep transforms option).
Then there’s weight painting but my guess is you haven’t been using this.
Thanks, Lancer, that did it.
