Correct default behavior for eyelids

Currently, CrazyTalk assumes that the default or normal position for eyelids is wide open.

I feel that the usual position of eyelids is half-closed.
The upper lid rests just above the pupil.
(A person opens his lids wide open if he's very excited.)

I lower the eyelids on most keys, so it's a lot of work.

Currently, you have a slider for "Eyes narrowed." I would love to see this replaced by a slider which reads "Eyes wide."

Thanks for considering this.

The moderators are usually so good about tending to all comments. I still feel that a change in the way eyelids are handled would be a good thing. Any chance? :)

I second this request.
I also go through the same process of half closing the eyes so my characters don't look like they are stunned :P

however, fortunately most of my CT animations are used in Iclone, which seems to position the eyelids in a more realistic position

Just saw this and I agree with the observation.

What I found out is that by creating one initial key with more narrowed eyes at the beginning (before any puppeteering), you end up with a more realistic default setting without having to change a lot of keys afterwards.  I use CT exclusively for work in iClone, but it looks good to me in CT as well.
