I'm using the face template to try some photoskins out and I keep getting the eyes off when I preview it on the default male head...

I line it up perfectly to the uv map in photoshop but when I upload it, the eyes look way to high, the rest seems to be in place.

Is there more than one face template? Do the textures stretch on the head correctly when actually applied as a head tattoo?

Heres a picture of what I keep getting.

Does it help if you play around with where your eyes are located in the Appearance tab?

I know that probably won't work, but I was thinking maybe its something simple.

I don't know if this will help you with your face but when i was having trouble getting clothes to match up I created an outfit out of the template itself and took a few snapshots to see how the whole thing fit together. You might want to try it.

The face template is quite accurate. Looks like your whole texture is too low, not just the eyes. Look at the details that should be on the underside of the nose, and your lips as well. It's all off by about the same amount. My guess is you accidentally moved the template layer.

I think Chip is right. It looks like your template layer has been moved. Try re-downloading it and starting with a fresh one.

Yeah your right. I probably dragged the layer on accident when using the smudge tool or something. Heres the proof, why I just didn't drag the UV over the working layer I'll never know, live and learn.

FYI, your subpost to have the eyes closed, The area marked for the eyes, isn't the eyes, but the eye lids. It's very unnerving when people blink, and it look like they cut holes in their eye lids. The eye ball is it's own separate 3d object. For what your doing it would be a good idea to pick up a 3d program that supports projecting textures. Sl only support wrapping witch is why it's so hard to super impose your own image onto the face.
