Movine eyes question.

[zeldazipple]

I'm sure this has been posted before but I can't seem to find the excat lynk to it now. I'm working on a Zelda Zipple puppet, I want her eyes to be animated,moveing back and foward ( Left to right ) and blink like the puppest shown here http://www.zippyvideos.com/3332911735574/popples/56k I love their eyes how they are slightly crossedeyes like they have a lazy eye or something. I cant get over how realistic the eyes are I mean when they closed their eyes one seems to turn inwards like a living person would when they close their eyes and I was wondering how this was done. I want Zelda to have the same sort of eyes but not look like a Popple. If you want to see the whole show you can see it here http://www.donandmurph.com/watchpopplesliveaction.html but it takes some time to load. I really like their dreamey eyes and wanted to make Zelda's the same.

I'm not able to view the video on the computer I'm using at the moment, but moving eyes have been discussed on the board a lot. Try doing a search of the forum for "moving eyes" "eye blink" or "eye mech".
