I made a cartoon eye using the tutorial available here and got it fully rigged and ready for use in my other projects but when I attempt to append it only the empty's show up. Im appending the group and I know I grouped everything together but also I even tried using the finished file included in the downloads section and it does the same thing.
Any one have this same issue?
I know usually when you append, it immediately shows up in the scene.. but since it does not appear to be... can you add a group instance after you've appended?
You'll have to drill down into L.Eye_Center in the outliner and make the meshes selectable. Then add them to the group. That gets them appended into your scene and once they're in, you'll have to make them non-selectable again.
But there's a problem, still. When I did this, the pupil was 'rolled back' into the orb of the eye. I'll leave that for you (or the next person) to sort out. ;)
