I've had a lot of help on this forum creating my Pepe character. Very grateful for all the help.
Pepe was made in Blender and due to troubles with rigging his unusual cartoon eyes, I had to resort to giving him the "Strechy and Chubby" iClone eyes.
It took many months to learn how to animate him, mostly due to his non-standard proportions.
It caused all sorts of issues, especially with clothes etc.
But, it wouldn't be Pepe if he looked different.
So here he is, after all those months, dancing "Swan Lake" 
For those interested, I'm finally getting the hang of it and of all the great functions in iClone, so since then, he also starring as Superman and is currently learning to drive his very own Aston Martin (with the help of the Physics Toolbox) and he will soon be starring as James Bond 007 in a car chase.

I use Stretchy and Chubby extensively in my projects. I can't get the eyes to 'auto blink ' even when it displays in the avatar modify panel. Did you do anything special to get the eyes to work?

Hi!

Thanks for your reply. I managed to get autoblink to work, forgot how, but wasn't happy with it.
Since I used 4 Pepe's, it looked bad them all blinking at the same time.
Blink was too short too, so I scrapped it. What I did is make individual blinks, about 4 frames apart, and copy and pasted them all over the time line.
It is a hassle, doing that for several characters, but it makes the animation look so much better.
Autoblink does work, but as with anything, you have to press so many buttons, that you forget how you did it.
Either that or it is my old age showing.... LOL
Good luck with your projects!

I know how to animate it manually but was hoping to get it working. I'll contact support. Anyway, thanks for the reply and your animation was fun to watch!
