I always get this same problem for all characters.

You could use release button to reset all facial then re-selecting the facial part you want.

Thanks kylelee for the response.
Ever since I upgraded CTA3 to ver 3.2, it became unstable.
I've tried the method that you've suggested before.  Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

vepopyeye, I love CTA-3 but there are a lot of bugs, especially with face animation using photos. When you are trying to do a face animation does your character contain a 3d animation for the body on the time line?

hi michael7.  No such problem so far. I love CTA3 too. It's easier now to create characters but for the animation, it's quite tricky for me.

vevpopyeye you were wondering why your characters facial animation wasn't working right. So I was asking you, does your animation also contain a 3d animation for the body on the timeline?

No 3D animation applied to the 2D character.
Everything is done using CTA3.

That's not what I mean. I understand you are doing everything in CTA-3. In CTA-3, on the time line there are 2 kinds of motions you can use to animate a G2 character. 3D and 2D. If you are using some of the animations in CTA-3, it will say 3D or 2D on the folder. But now Looking at your picture I see you are using a G3 character body.

This should fix your problem either way.
Before you've animated your characters face, on the timeline select collect clip. Then highlight a length of the collect clip ( make it greater than what you think your full length animation will be, just to be safe ) and right click the greyed highlighted area, and select export facial motion. You'll have saved a blank facial clip. Then at the beginning of your animation go to file>import ( that facial motion file ). Now on your timeline you will have that clip you saved, and it will be blue. Now animate your characters face anywhere inside that blue clip you brought in. You shouldn't have any more problems. It took me a while of fiddling before I figured that out.

Thanks michael7 for your tips.
