Hello, to whomever might be reading. I am new to creating poses, and there is something I simply cannot figure out how to do. Closing their eyes and moving the iris. I have seen [this thread], that has a video tutorial, however, it hasn't been helpful, as the rig does not, somehow, have the selection for the bones of the lower and upper lid, or even the iris. They show up on the video, though, so I wonder if there is some step I don't know of. No tutorials that I saw are recent, and I even tried typing the name of the correct rig to be selected on the field shown. Am I doing something wrong? I can only move the whole eye area. Thank you for your time and attention. |

(just so it's said, I'm still not entirely sure how to get the "dope sheet" other than marking the whole rig and setting a key - "A" to select all, make sure joints are blue, then "I" and "LockRot". You have to remember to do this again when you're done with the pose, though. There probably is another way, but tutorials never seem to get around to tell you how...)
Other than that, you can select the individual eyes, upper/lower eyelids, and any other overlapping eye joints by Right-clicking the joint inside the eye and keep clicking until you reach the joint you want. There are 5-6 joints, and it's a "circular" process, so if you click past the one you want, just keep clicking and it goes around again. You see which joint you've selected in white writing in the left corner of the window you're in (small writing, directly over where it says "view, Select, Pose")
Most of the time you'll want these: LoLid, UpLid, (and Eye if you don't want to close the eyelids fully)
Rotate the eyelids from side view, because then you see the rotation best (selection depends on method above).
If you want to rotate the eye, for instance with half-closed eyes, do so from front view. I've found rotating the eye gives best results if you double-click the R (it gives you a kind of "free" rotate and stays within the eye limit, but it's a bit more difficult to control).
The best way to make face expressions is to do so before you do anything else to the pose. Be in orthographic view (5 on NumPad, 5 again goes back to regular view) and Front View (1 on NumPad), right view (Numpad 3, left is Ctrl+np 3). You may occasionally need top view (np 7) for the rest of the posing. If you have to make adjustments to the face while working with the rest of the pose you can do some with local rotation, but the results could vary.
