Okay Samurai Eye Rigging Question

[TonyPham247]

Hi All,

In the Eye Rigging tutorial, Dave of OkaySamurai @oksamurai @ok was talking about Blinking of Large-Pupil Character.

But I can't get it why he needs to put the Blink inside the Lid Group. Can it just be directly under Left Eye?

Thank you so much,

Tho.

To put it simply, if it works for you, then there's nothing wrong with doing it that way. Bear in mind that CH has evolved a bit since that particular video was made (but I still refer users to it because it's so useful). My puppets do not have lids and the blink action covers the whole eye. It works fine for me. That is not to say that you should eschew best practices - they're called that for a reason. But if you have a technique that works, you should be able to happily stick with it.

I think this is also a YouTube comment I just replied to, but: Blink will basically make everything else at its same hierarchy level disappear when it gets triggered. In this case, I think I put it there because I want the blink lids to make any other lids disappear when it's triggered, so you don't have two sets of lids overlapping each other. Or some people turn blinks off completely and do them as manual triggers. Your call!
