Question

Multiple/Alternate EYE SETS???

Hello,
I'm new to CHARACTER ANIMATOR and I must confess I've only done two puppets but there weren't terribly complicated. This most recent puppet isn't terribly complicated but I want the EYES to have a broad range of comedic emotion.

Is it possible to have a default eye shape and then alternate eye shapes.

Example:

I want the character to have a default eye shape that is depressed. Then his eye shape will shift to:
                                                  - Extreme Happiness Shape

                                                  - Extreme Worry Shape

                                                  - Extreme Anger Shape
All still possessing independent "BLINKS" to correspond to their shapes, Independent eyebrows and independent PUPILS (or using the default pupils only in the new eye shape).

I have an idea how to do this and am currently building but I was wondering if the community has come across a similar design build and could point me in the right direction for rigging and folder structures?

Thank you!

    There were some recent posts that might also help, but this post has how I do eyes (with lots of stuff you don’t need) including expressions. https://extra-ordinary.tv/2018/04/21/debugging-character-animator-eyess/
