Hi all,

I'm trying to get a HD Complete Character to blink. HD Complete Characters have bones for facial expressions, so I thought that I had to control the bones of the eye lids to make them blink. However, I have difficulties getting a HD Complete Character to blink with using the eye lid bones. See the code below for my code. I thought rotating either the EyeBlinkTop or EyeBlinkBottom bones should do the trick, however it does not. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

import viz

viz.go()

avatar = viz.add('vcc_male2.cfg', pos = [0,.15,.5], euler = [180,0,0])

blinkLeft = avatar.getBone('Bip01 LEyeBlinkTop')
blinkRight = avatar.getBone('Bip01 REyeBlinkBottom')
blinkLeft.lock()
blinkRight.lock()

def onKeyDown(key):
	eulerLeft = blinkLeft.getEuler(viz.AVATAR_LOCAL)
	eulerRight = blinkRight.getEuler(viz.AVATAR_LOCAL)
	if key in 'qQ':
		eulerLeft[0] += 1
		eulerRight[0] += 1
	elif key in 'aA':
		eulerLeft[0] -= 1
		eulerRight[0] -= 1
	elif key in 'wW':
		eulerLeft[1] += 1
		eulerRight[1] += 1
	elif key in 'eE':
		eulerLeft[1] -= 1
		eulerRight[1] -= 1
	elif key in 'sS':
		eulerLeft[2] += 1
		eulerRight[2] += 1
	elif key in 'dD':
		eulerLeft[2] -= 1
		eulerRight[2] -= 1
	blinkLeft.setEuler(eulerLeft, viz.AVATAR_LOCAL)
	blinkRight.setEuler(eulerRight, viz.AVATAR_LOCAL)

viz.callback(viz.KEYDOWN_EVENT,onKeyDown)
